Cranial Osteopathy

This branch of osteopathy involves gentle manipulation of the bones of the skull (cranium). A cranial osteopath may also work on your shoulders and spine to help the joints and tissues move freely. Cranial osteopaths believe that is these bones or the nearby tissues are shifted even slightly out of place - for example, by an injury - health problems may develop throughout the body. They therefore claim that their treatment methods can benefit not only head and spinal injuries, mouth and jaw pain, and sinusitis, but also ailments affecting other parts of the body, including arthritis, constipation, menstrual problems and migraine.
