In principle and practice – cranial osteopathy – Essex

The fundamental principle of cranial osteopathy is to allow the body to make its own changes from within. Although effective for people of all ages, it is especially effective in the treatment of babies and children due to the gentle techniques used.

During treatment, the osteopath might appear to be very still and their hands will hardly move. However, some patients can feel the treatment working inside their body straight away. For others, it is more of a relaxing experience that induces sleep.

Maypole Health’s friendly team of osteopathic physicians will take the time to understand your health circumstances before tailoring their treatment accordingly. In order for treatment to work, the osteopath must develop a highly acute sense of palpation to understand what your body requires.

FAQs about cranial osteopathy – Essex

  • What does treatment feel like?

The osteopath will place a very light touch on your head and spine before using gentle non-invasive pressure. There is no sensation of pain or any other activities while the osteopath is performing these manoeuvres on your body.

  • How often should I receive a treatment?

A lot depends on your own situation, but treatment could be recommended once or twice a week on an outpatient basis. As your condition improves, treatments may reduce in frequency.

  • Who is cranial osteopathy best suited to?

As a non-invasive treatment, it is suitable for people that may struggle to undertake other forms of manual therapy. For example, new born babies, the elderly and people suffering from chronic illness.
