What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment that recognises the role of the musculoskeletal system in a healthy leaving body. This includes assessing and treating fault in joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves anywhere in the body and not just in the back!
The Osteopath is not just trying to treat symptoms he is trained to seek out and treat the underlying cause of the pain. Many causes can be found, from a recent or an old injury, a postural strain, stress or an underlying disease. Osteopathy will reduce the risk of future problems and allow you to better withstand and tear.
What is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial Osteopaths view the body as a unique, interconnected, self-healing system. They believe that the structure and the function of the body are closely related, and a disturbance in the body’s framework can interrupt the natural function of multiple systems, causing a wide range of symptoms.
Tensions and stresses throughout the body are expressed as a disruption of the body’s natural cranial rhythm. As with traditional osteopathy, cranial osteopaths will perform a thorough case history and examination of their patients, however, treatment will consist of observing and treating disruptions in the cranial rhythm, whether they be due to recent events or as retained tensions due to past incidents including emotional events.
Cranial osteopathy is a very relaxing and gentle therapy to receive. It uses gentle manipulation of the cranial bones, spine, pelvis, and other soft tissue structures in order to identify restrictions or strain patterns occurring throughout the body. This restriction or strains can be the result of retained birth trauma or of repetitive activity or even trauma.
The treatment aims to match the error pattern and emphasize it in order to affect a ‘release’, and a return to ‘normal’. The patient may be unable to detect any discernable movement occurring during the treatment.
