Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy is a gentle healing technique in which the practitioner applies gentle pressure with the hands to the head and other areas of the body. It is based on the idea that the central nervous system (including the brain and spinal cord) has subtle, rhythmic pulsations that are key to health, and can be detected and regulated by a skilled practitioner.
Osteopathic physicians who practice cranial osteopathy use their hands to gently free up restrictions in the movement of cranial bones and to stimulate the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes the surfaces of the brain and the spinal cord.
Cranial osteopathy is extremely useful for a wide range of problems, including ear infections, asthma, sleep disorders, migraines, Meniere’s disease, TMJ syndrome, colic, ADHD, learning disabilities as well as many types of pain.
