It is suitable for a broad range of individuals ranging from children and babies to pregnant women and the elderly.
Osteopaths address a variety of health issues such as:
Management of Headaches arising from the neck
Digestion problems
Anxiety and Stress
Arthritis pain
Neck and Back Pain
Osteopaths believe in the healthy balance between structure and function. They use a combination of osteopathic techniques that are specific to the patient’s pain and rehabilitation plan.
Our Osteo Allies clinic in Marylebone is built to listen to your needs, taking into consideration every aspect of your life for a treatment tailored to your healing.
How may Cranial Osteopathy help you?
Cranial osteopathy focuses on applying pressure on the tissues of your body, alleviating tension in the body, in the joints, and in parts such as the neck and the lower back. Our treatment combines pain relief with rehabilitation exercises that adults can do at home to help support their recovery.
Cranial osteopathy may also help relieve the stress built up in your body through light pressure, improving overall wellbeing.
Cranial osteopathy for newborn babies is a gentle way to treat them as their skeletons are softer than an adult’s. It is a safe treatment for both babies and adults.
We believe here at Osteo Allies that it is important to consider that pain is multifactorial and therefore it’s not only the particular painful area that we assess. We examine your body as a whole, considering your lifestyle and suggesting solutions for rapid rehabilitation.
Cranial Osteopathy for infants.
Its gentleness may help babies that are unsettled with their reflux and disturbed sleep.
Also, the delivery of a baby is not as simple as it seems neither for the mother nor for the baby. During delivery, the baby’s skull is compressed and moulded to naturally come down the birth canal. Cranial osteopathy can potentially alleviate the baby’s discomfort and strain.
Our certified osteopaths are here for you and your baby for a soothing treatment.
What to expect during your first Cranial Osteopathic session.
Once you arrive at the clinic, you will discuss with your osteopath your detailed case history – this is your medical history, your needs and concerns. This is where your osteopath will be able to really understand the issue and produce a diagnosis.
After your case history has been filled, a clinical examination and diagnosis follow. Your osteopath will prepare a treatment plan tailored to your needs. They use a combination of techniques such as cranial osteopathy.
At the end of the session, you are given follow-up advice that is useful for your recovery, such as neck stretch exercises that relieve tension and support your rehabilitation.
For any questions or concerns during aftercare, you can always Get in touch with us and your osteopath.
