Gentle and safe correction: Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is a method used by Osteopaths and works with the subtler mechanics of the body, its gentleness is therefore ideal for treating children. Cranial Osteopathy is not only applied to the head, as the name suggests, but is used for all areas of the body. It is used both as a diagnostic tool and a form of treatment.
It is particularly beneficial in considering the fluid & nervous system of the body when treating :
- Allergies: Cranial Osteopathy is a very effective technique in calming the sensitivity of the nervous system and flushing away any by-products of an allergic response that cause redness and irritation.
- Eczema: Eczema is often palpated as a prickly viscosity in the body which can be eased through Cranial Osteopathy.
Post-viral fatigue & ME. - Post-surgical recovery.
- When shock is part of the pain pattern.
- Congestive conditions such as period pain & headaches.
- Inflammed joints such as in Rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriatic arthropathy, bursitis.
- Anti-ageing: In improving the turgidity and health of cells, Cranial Osteopathy can release tension in the muscles of the face that create frown lines.
- In chronic conditions when the pain has become hard wired into the nervous system, Cranial Osteopathy connects and softens the circuit that continually reinforces the patterning of pain.
- Addiction, behavioural problems and insomnia where the habit has become hard wired into the nervous system, Cranial Osteopathy connects and softens the circuit that continually reinforces the patterning of behaviour.
- Joint strains that relate to a fall or that result from a problem elsewhere in the body and are in need of orchestrated balancing.
- Treat delicate structures such as the face and head. In the case of newborns, cranial osteopathy is very effective. At birth, the bones of the cranium telescope-inward to allow the head to pass through the birth canal. If the process is prolonged or complicated, or when an insufficient first breath is taken to de-telescope the bones, the compression in the head remains and can results in a fractious and uncomfortable baby.
- Pregnancy and acute cases where extra care is required.

"I booked an appointment to see Ashley after several of my friends recommended him for treating back pain. His gentle approach put me at ease and by the end of the treatment I felt significantly better. I now have treatment with Ashley as and when I am in discomfort and worry of back pain no longer weighs me down as I know I can rely on his treatment to put me right."
