This is an approach which can be applied to any part of the body, not only the head. It uses the principles of osteopathy to treat in a gentle but powerful way. We believe that the body has the ability to heal and correct itself, moment by moment, to the best level of health possible.
In Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, with gentle hand contact, we work with the body's self-correcting mechanisms to help things to change. Osteopathy in the Cranial Field is our treatment of choice for babies and children. Strains and compressions in the system due to birth events are best treated this way.
There is further information on this at the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy website: www.fpo.org.uk/about and there is a good discussion of the process of cranial osteopathy at www.sutherlandcranialcollege.co.uk/aboutosteopathy/cranialosteopathy/ including a case study and a description of treatment.
