Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach used to assess and support the body’s natural ability to release tension and maintain balance. Despite its name, cranial osteopathy is not limited to the head—it can be applied to the whole body. Practitioners use very light touch to feel for subtle movements and strains in the tissues, which may be contributing to discomfort or imbalance.
This approach is often used as part of a broader osteopathic treatment plan and may be suitable for people of all ages. Treatment is always based on a detailed case history and physical examination, and tailored to each person’s individual needs.
