Cranial osteopathy is the practice of utilizing manual techniques to manipulate the bones of the skull and cranial sutures with the aim of treating various medical conditions associated with the central nervous system, such as the brain and spinal cord. This approach is grounded in the belief that the manipulation of the cranial bones can have an impact on the proper functioning of the body and promote healing. Osteopaths who specialize in this practice rely on their hands to identify areas of restricted motion or tissue tension and apply gentle pressure to encourage the release of these restrictions. By doing so, they aim to alleviate symptoms and improve overall health and wellbeing.
