What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Cranial osteopathy is the term commonly used for a particularly gentle, light-touch approach within osteopathic practice. Although the name refers to the cranium, the approach is not necessarily limited to the head. Depending on the individual assessment, the osteopath may use light, sustained hand contact around the head and elsewhere on the body.
The practitioner uses subtle, low-force manual techniques rather than rapid or forceful thrust techniques. Cranial techniques may be incorporated into a broader osteopathic assessment and care plan and are not used automatically for every patient.
At our clinic, cranial techniques are provided by osteopaths registered with the General Osteopathic Council who have undertaken relevant training in this approach.

What happens during an appointment?
Your osteopath will take a full medical history, discuss your symptoms and general health, and carry out an appropriate clinical examination. They will explain their findings, discuss the available options and obtain your consent before any examination or treatment.
Care is tailored to the individual and may include cranial or other manual techniques, health information, self-management advice and exercise advice. Where osteopathic care is not appropriate, or further assessment is required, your osteopath will recommend referral to a GP or another suitable healthcare professional.
The contact used during cranial techniques is subtle and light. Some people find this style of hands-on care relaxing, although experiences vary between individuals and no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
Who can be assessed?
Registered osteopaths may assess people of different ages, including adults, pregnant women, children and babies. Any examination or treatment is adapted to the individual’s age, presentation and clinical needs. Suitability is considered on a case-by-case basis, and referral to another healthcare professional will be recommended where appropriate.
