Cranial Osteopathy
It is a gentle yet extremely effective approach and may be used in a wide range of conditions for people of all ages, from birth to old age.
Osteopaths may use either one technique type or combinations of techniques such as manipulation, soft tissue and cranial techniques to help your symptoms resolve.

Training in Cranial Osteopathy.
Most undergraduate programmes in the UK are currently to Masters level and do teach cranial techniques. However most people who wish to specialise in this method will undergo further training. At the moment the basic level would mean you can become a member of the Sutherland Society. With further training, usually taking a minimum of four years, you are entitled to become a fellow of the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy (SCCO). Louise has been awarded fellowship of the SCCO and thus has attained the highest level of post graduate training in cranial osteopathy anywhere in the world.
What can cranial osteopaths treat?
While it can be highly effective at relieving symptoms cranial osteopathy aims to treat the whole person not just the condition, so a very wide range of situations may benefit from treatment.
When we experience physical or emotional stresses our body tissues tend to tighten up. The body may have been able to adapt to these effects at the time, but a lasting strain often remains. Any tensions which remain held in the body can restrict its free movement. Gradually the body may find it more and more difficult to cope with accumulated stresses and symptoms may develop.
