See Catherine on FacebookOsteopathic Cranial Treatment for Adults
A skilled osteopathic cranial practitioner will use their hands to evaluate and treat a wide range of conditions, using gentle techniques that cooperate with the body’s own self-healing mechanism. The impacts of a difficult birth, falls, accidents, or surgery can have prolonged effects on the body. This treatment evaluates and treats those effects, which may be felt many years after the original injury. Osteopathic treatment may resemble craniosacral therapy, however osteopathic training is much more extensive.What Does an Osteopathic Cranial Session for Adults Involve?
After a detailed history and physical assessment, the client lies down on the treatment table. Evaluation and treatment often proceed simultaneously with the practitioner using gentle touch to assess tissue function and structural dynamics. The feet, pelvis, spine, ribcage, and head may be held during a typical session.Clients may feel relaxed or may feel sensations moving around the body. There may be a temporary feeling of discomfort following a treatment as the body readjusts. As symptoms clear, there is often a sense of improved well-being and health.
