Cranial Osteopathy - 60 Minutes

Service Description

Also known as cranial osteopathy, cranial manipulation techniques involve great attention to intracranial dura. Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (OCF) is a system of diagnosis and treatment using the primary respiratory mechanism and balanced membrane tension. OCF techniques often focus on the skull and the sacrum, where the dura mater attaches. However, the techniques can be and are commonly used throughout the body. Cranial Osteopathy is a very gentle non-invasive treatment which makes it suitable for people that may struggle to undertake other forms of manual therapy. Treatment includes gentle hands-on manipulation of the cranial bones and the sacrum (tailbone), as well as other restricted areas of the body. OCF is commonly used in adults as a treatment for: - Headaches or Migraine. - TMJ - Disturbed sleep cycles - Neck pain, - Sinus infections, - TMJ syndrome, - Ménière’s disease and ear problems, NOTE: The American Cancer Society notes that while cranial osteopathy therapy has not been shown scientifically to be a treatment for cancer, it can help patients feel more relaxed by helping to relieve stress and tension.
