What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is a safe and gentle approach used by osteopaths to release tension and restore balance throughout the body.

Despite the name, it’s not just about the head, we assess and treat the whole body, using light touch to detect areas of strain or restriction.

Because it is so gentle, cranial osteopathy is often chosen for:

Newborns and young children
Adults who prefer a gentler approach
People experiencing stress, tension, or difficulty relaxing

How It Works

Using highly trained palpation skills, your osteopath will identify and gently release areas of tension, helping your body to function more smoothly. This can improve comfort, promote relaxation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

"Sarah has been wonderful in helping me to understand and resolve pain in my back and arm. I had tried a number of other treatments before I tried osteopathy with Sarah, and was thrilled that within a few sessions the pain had gone. Sarah's kind, empathetic and gentle approach is fantastic, especially if you feel nervous about treatment. The whole session is very relaxing and Sarah explains everything clearly each step of the way. I think the way that Sarah works with you to heal yourself is quite magical and leaves you feeling much stronger and capable than ever. I'm very grateful to Sarah for her help and expertise."
