Cranial osteopathy is gentle but powerful treatment involving light finger and hand pressure to various parts of the body. It can help to release compression of cranial bones, tension in the membranes, and to re-balance the natural cranial rhythm. Cranial osteopathy is suitable for all ages. To find out how it can help, call us.
Is cranial osteopathy useful for babies?
Cranial osteopathy is particularly suitable for babies and children. The physical
trauma of birth can cause significant moulding of a baby’s head causing a variety of distortions. Much of this reduces over several days, however sometimes this unmoulding process in incomplete. This is most often associated with difficult births, but also occurs with ‘normal’ and caesarean deliveries. Babies are unable to express
any discomfort caused by birth trauma other than by crying and being unsettled and irritable.
Osteopathy for children
Children can suffer from a variety of musculoskeletal tensions and dysfunctions. This may be due to difficult births, poor posture, falls or sports injuries. These tensions
can lead to postural and muscle imbalance affecting specific areas of the body or
their general structure.
Children can sometimes have challenges with movement patterns, coordination or balance. We are able to use a range of osteopathic treatments along with specific exercise and rehabilitation programmes to help. Treatments and exercise
programmes are tailored to the individual and their particular challenges. Ensuring children can move well and are physically active is an important part of their overall development.
