CRANIO
SACRAL OSTEOPATHY
&
NEURAL MANIPULATION
Cranio
Sacral Osteopathy:
It is a gentle yet extremely effective approach and may be
used for a wide range of conditions for people of all ages.
It can help headaches, migraines, tinnitus and sleep troubles.
It is also recommended for infants with gastroesophagal reflux,
digestive disorder, suckle trouble, colic and sleep problems.
Osteopaths
may have different specialities which include sports injuries,
paediatrics and visceral osteopathy (treating the internal organs
of the body). Cranial osteopathy embraces all of these.
Neural
Manipulation:
Identifies and releases local nerve restrictions while at the
same time examines the effect these local fixations have on
the rest of the body. By accessing this, dysfunctional patterns
can be resolved.
Manual therapy, as it applies to the treatment of nerves, follows
the standard principles of mobility and function. For optimal
function, nerves must be able to move freely within their surroundings.

OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is an Holistic medicine which concentrates
on treating a person as a whole. It understands how all the body’s
systems are interconnected and how each one affects the other.
Osteopathy
is based on manipulation techniques which focus on the structure
of the body (bones, muscles, joints and associated functions).
It is a complimentary medicine and looks not only at physical symptoms
but also at lifestyle, habits and the patient’s overall condition.
Consultation
The osteopath will evaluate pain type and medical history
of the patient.
The origin of the symptoms will be treated and advice will be given
on any health concerns.
This will help to empower patients to develop attitudes and lifestyles
that don’t just fight illness but also help prevent it.
