Charlotte Hunt Osteopaths offers cranial osteopathy for the whole family. This technique delivers a significant effect when applied during treatment. It is safe, gentle, non-manipulative, and suitable for all generations.
Often commonly associated as a helpful technique for pregnant or new mothers. This is if they experience pains in their pelvis, hips, or lower back. It is also used for newborn babies/children.
Also, it can be effective for patients with acute symptoms or underlying conditions. Here, more structural techniques are not appropriate. It can have an excellent balancing and therapeutic effect on the body.
The Cranial Osteopathy treatment approach involves the cranium (or skull) and the whole body. All body tissues have a ‘natural cranial rhythm.’
Furthermore, our Osteopaths at Charlotte Hunt Osteopaths have many years of training to sense it. Their refined sense of touch through their hands can detect subtle changes or tensions in the soft tissues. These can mean disruption to circulation and drainage in this area. It could also be contributing to symptoms.
The treatment primarily includes applying very light contact from the hands to the head, spine, and tailbone. However, it also has relevance to other parts of the body. They can detect any accumulated tension, strains, and restricted movement.
Specific hand contact can help influence the body’s healing ability and release tissue stress. This enhances the body’s natural rhythm and helps restore health to the overall body.
Many patients find this part of the treatment relaxing and often fall asleep!
