Unlocking Wellness: The Role of Cranial Therapy in Osteopathy

The Benefits of Cranial Therapy in Osteopathy

Cranial therapy, also known as cranial osteopathy, is a gentle and non-invasive form of treatment that focuses on the subtle movements of the skull and its impact on the body’s overall health. At Inner Wellness Osteopathy and remedial massage clinic, we believe in providing holistic and effective treatments to improve your well-being. Here’s why cranial therapy might be the right choice for you.

Techniques and Methods

During a craniosacral therapy session, the patient lies fully clothed on a table, facing upward. Our skilled practitioners gently place their hands on the patient’s skull, applying a small amount of pressure to release tension and enhance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the craniosacral system. These non-invasive and subtle adjustments are also made on the spinal area, particularly on the lower back and sacrum. This treatment is normally incorporated after other treatments and towards the end of your session.

The cranial osteopathy treatment ensures the following positive outcomes:

• Releases myofascial restrictions and tensions

• Restores the position of misaligned bones

• Minimises nerve restrictions

• Restores natural cranial mobility

• Increases cerebrospinal fluid movement

Physical Benefits of Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy can relieve stress and tension on the central nervous system, lowering pain caused by acute injury or chronic misalignment. This non-invasive therapy is comfortable and pain-free, making it an ideal choice for individuals seeking relief without discomfort.

Mental and Emotional Benefits of Cranial Osteopathy

Physical disorders often lead to emotional pain such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief. Cranial therapy helps to relieve mental stress and tension, allowing patients to move past emotional pain.
