Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy can treat a wide range of conditions and can be applied to any area of pain and dysfunction in the body.

What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial Osteopathy, practiced at The Mersea Road Clinic Colchester, is a soothing and restful form of Osteopathic treatment and diagnosis that involves feeling the bones of the head and pelvis.

Cranial Osteopathy is governed by the same principles as all Osteopathic treatments, which is assessing how the body functions and addressing tension and restriction within it. 

Cranial Osteopaths work on the principles that the mechanisms of health maintenance taking place within the body are expressed in tissue quality and subtle movements of the bones. Therefore, Osteopaths are trained to feel these movements and expression through what is termed the involuntary mechanism. 

Cranial Osteopathic treatment can also be incorporated into any treatment and works well in conjunction with more standard manipulative treatment that you may be familiar with.

What should I expect with Cranial Osteopathy

While your Cranial Osteopath is feeling the involuntary mechanism, most likely by holding your head, you may feel sensations such as warmth, relaxation and release of tension. After cranial treatment patients may feel energised or calm and relaxed.
