Cranial osteopathy is a development of traditional osteopathy, which uses gentle techniques to treat the whole body (not just the head as is implied from the name).

Cranial osteopathy recognises the importance of the subtle mechanics at work within the head and rest of the body and their profound influence on health and wellbeing.

A cranial osteopathy treatment balances not only the structural mechanics but also the fluid mechanics within the system. It is a safe treatment, which optimises the body's natural function. It is a very useful treatment for people who suffer from migraines, sinusitis or tinnitus, TMJ and facial disorders, anxiety and stress and it is also good for general wellbeing.

Cranial osteopathic techniques can often be a good alternative for a person who doesn't respond well to the stronger manipulative osteopathic techniques.
