Cranial Osteopathy

The theories behind how Cranial Osteopathy works are wide-ranging and difficult to research. However Cranial Osteopathy is well known for it’s relaxation properties, and is thought to rebalance the body on a deeper level, releasing subtle tensions and encouraging the body’s own healing mechanisms. Craniosacral therapy originates from Cranial Osteopathy. There is limited evidence for how, exactly Cranial Osteopathy and Craniosacral therapies work, but with little risk of any issues following treatment, many thousands of people benefit from these subtle treatments each year.
Tamsyn was an assistant lecturer in Biodynamic cranial osteopathy at the European School of Osteopathy in 2013-2016, using her experience in cranial osteopathy to pass on these skills to budding professionals.

Cranial Osteopathy is a useful alternative for individuals who react too strongly to classic osteopathic treatments, or those who suffer with inflammatory conditions or hypermobility that are often aggravated by movement. It is well known for treating babies, as it is a very gentle, indirect approach that can help to settle.

Cranial Osteopathy, despite the name, involves contact over various areas in the body- commonly the pelvis, cranium, abdomen, shoulders and legs, and unlike in Osteopathy, you will not be required to disrobe, unless the skin needs to be observed. Tamsyn offers cranial osteopathy appointments to adults, children and babies. Please note the treatments are frequently extremely relaxing, so factor this in when thinking about the best time or day for your session! 🙂
