Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy is a branch of traditional osteopathy and can be used to treat the same conditions. However, rather than manipulating the whole musculoskeletal system, cranial osteopathy focus on the gentle manipulation of the bones of the skull.

It was developed by in the 1930s by Dr. William Garner Sutherland who believed that the bones of the cranium, which are separate when you are born, did not fuse completely as you got older, and that the brain and spine's protective cerebrospinal fluid sends out rhythmic impulses which are affected by damage to any part of the body. An osteopath can feel any abnormality in these impulses and cranial osteopathy is the manipulation of the skull bones along the joints that link them, to restore the impulses to their normal levels and stimulate the body's self-healing processes.
