Cranial Osteopathy
If you have been affected by trauma, injuries, accidents, falls, etc, your body may learn to compensate for these past events by holding tension and even emotion in the tissues and muscles of your body, thereby affecting your range of motion and overall function.
As osteopathic manual practitioners, we are highly trained to feel and sense subtle changes of tension in the tissues which can cause strain and dysfunction in the whole body. We will work to activate your body’s innate intelligence to heal and balance itself.
In a cranial treatment, an osteopath tunes into the condition of your living anatomy and physiology, and how it has coped with stress and trauma. As your body comes into balance, you may experience immediate release of tension and feel an overall sense of balance on a physical, mental, and even emotional level. Different systems within your body will also start to integrate and work more effectively (e.g., your circulatory and digestive system will start to function in harmony with each other).
Cranial osteopathic treatment is very gentle and relaxing. You may become more aware of where you hold tension or even numbness. As it gradually dissipates, you will feel a sense of warmth and relaxation, and may even fall asleep for a few minutes and wake up feeling refreshed and balanced.
Cranial Osteopathy is beneficial in treating a wide range of conditions that include:
- Arthritis
