Cranial Osteopathy
Here at The Orchard Clinic Thrapston, Cranial Osteopathy is used as a subtle form of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body. It is called 'cranial' because treatment often involves the head, although other parts of the body such as the spine and tailbone can also be involved.
Cranial Osteopathy is suitable for all ages and many conditions. As it is an extremely gentle treatment it is even suitable for newborn babies and the very elderly.
Most of us have been exposed to physical trauma at some stage in our life. The body may have coped well at first, but occasionally a lasting strain remains. Gradually the accumulation of strains may start to show. Mechanical problems can lead not only to aches and pains in joints and muscles, but also disturbances in the internal organs and the way they work.
