What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that encourages the release of stress and tensions throughout the body, including the head. Keeping true to Osteopathic philosophy, the Cranial Osteopathy technique aims to restore the function and integrity of the human body that is lost during injury and trauma.  Cranial Osteopathy can be used on adults, but is most commonly known for its use with babies and children.

Craniosacral Therapy (Cranial Osteopathy) for Adults

When treating adults Osteopaths can use a mixture of both traditional and cranial osteopathy, as these work well together. Conditions that can be treated especially well by cranial treatment include musculoskeletal pain, neck related headaches, migraines and other tensions.

Cranial Osteopathy for Babies & Children

Many children, when they are born, suffer from tension patterns and strains that may have occurred whilst being in utero or due to the physiological stress of labour. When being treated by an Osteopath from Perfect Balance Clinic, you will have a full detailed consultation that will aim to highlight every aspect of the antenatal and birth process in order to apply as perfect a treatment as possible to suit the needs of the child.

Clients who visit us for Cranial Osteopathy often do so with various complaints and we are able to give good, safe advice using our Midwife and GP for guidance on treatment.

Educating you about your child's treatment

Osteopathic techniques for babies include using cranial osteopathic concepts, amongst other approaches, which are gentle yet extremely effective and may be used in a wide range of conditions for people of all ages, from birth to old age. As a parent or guardian of a child who is treated at Perfect Balance Clinic, it is imperative that you leave the treatment room informed and educated by the principles applied to treat your child. This allows the child to feel as though they are in a safe environment where interaction between all parties forms a healthy contribution to the development of the client. It also allows the parent to play a role in the treatment process. Often, parents can also be involved with simple exercises and lifestyle advice that complement the Osteopath's treatment of their child.
