Cranial osteopathic treatment
Osteopathic treatment using the cranial approach is gentle, safe and effective for babies and children. Very specific, skilled, light pressure is applied to assist the natural ability of the body to release stresses and tensions.
Could there be any adverse reactions?
Reactions to treatment are variable; often the baby or child is very relaxed afterwards and sleeps well, whilst others have a burst of energy, usually followed by a good night's sleep. Occasionally children are unsettled after treatment - this is a temporary situation, and usually clears within 24-48 hours. You can find out more about cranial osteopathy at The Sutherland Society website.

NOTE: Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
