Cranial osteopathy in London - London Osteopaths

Cranial osteopathy is a conjunctive form of therapy with Osteopathy, a gentle form of Osteopathy that encompasses the anatomy and physiology of the cranium using osteopathic principles.

Highly trained osteopaths use palpation to feel small changes to the tissue around the cranium in order to identify where there are areas of strain or dysfunction in the area. Case history taking and general conversation can lead us to specific areas of your body where you may not be aware of the trauma that is currently present and relevant to the issue you're presenting with.

It's like seeing someone read a book to witness cranial treatment. A complex universe of structure, color, depth, and emotion is introduced to you as you read the book, despite the fact that nothing seems to be occurring on the surface. The plot develops as you read on.

An osteopath is intimately familiar with the inner workings of living anatomy and physiology. If you pay close attention, the body can describe what has happened to it, the mental or physical trauma it has experienced, and how it is attempting to deal with the consequences of these traumas.

The tissues advise the osteopath during therapy and facilitate the release or rebalancing of dysfunctional areas. The body has an amazing ability to heal itself and maintain its own physiology in a state of health and uses the re-balancing during osteopathic treatment to re-establish healthy physiology.

The cranial osteopathic approach is highly soothing and gentle. Some patients report feeling a variety of symptoms during the course of the therapy, including minor tension, soreness, or sensitivity that eventually goes away, as well as feelings of warmth and relaxation. Others are completely unconscious of the therapy while it is taking place, but they are aware that they feel completely different afterward. During treatment, most patients experience intense relaxation, and it is not unusual for patients to nod off.

There is no specific patient that can benefit from cranial osteopathy despite being popular amongst babies and individuals of high stress or with previous trauma. It is worth contacting an osteopath prior to booking to see if you would be suitable for the treatment.
