Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is the name given to a subtle and refined approach to osteopathy that follows all the principles of osteopathy, but that includes the anatomy and physiology of the head. Cranial osteopaths use a sense of touch to feel subtle changes of tension and tissue quality in the whole body, and to diagnose areas of strain or dysfunction.
By activating your body’s innate ability to heal itself, we aim to restore your health and well-being. Whether you’re experiencing chronic back pain, stiffness in your hip, or other issues, our professional and respectful team is here to help.
What sort of patients or conditions can be helped with cranial osteopathy?
At The Cole Practice, we believe in treating people, not just conditions. Our cranial osteopathy technique is not limited to babies, it is equally effective for children, adults, and the elderly. By addressing the whole body, we aim to bring improvements to different areas and systems, not just the symptomatic ones. Experience relief, promote healing, and restore your health and well-being with our gentle and effective approach to addressing pain and discomfort.
What does cranial treatment feel like?
Cranial osteopathic treatment is very gentle and relaxing. During the treatment some people are aware of different sensations, such as mild tension, aching or sensitivity that gradually disappear, or of feelings of warmth and relaxation. Other people are unaware of anything happening at all during the treatment but are aware that they feel very different afterwards. Most people become deeply relaxed during treatment and it is not uncommon for people to fall asleep.
