Osteopaths work with the approach that the whole body will work well if your body is in good structural balance. For example, if you have a bicycle with one tyre slightly bent, a lot more effort is needed to ride it. The same applies to the human body, which is why it is important to keep the body in good balance (and have regular checks).

Cranial Osteopathy is very gentle, non invasive and can benefit people of all ages including new born babies, children and pregnant women. Very specific, skilled, light pressure is applied where necessary to assist the natural ability of the body to release stresses and tensions.

Babies are subjected to enormous forces as they are pushed through the birth canal and can suffer long-lasting effects from the ‘moulding' process of the skull during birth. This is especially true when there had been a difficult labour or pregnancy. Babies cannot communicate their bodily discomfort so will often express it with irritability or crying.
