Cranial osteopathy
 
Cranial osteopathy is a technique that is very gentle and well suited to treating very young children and babies.
 
Why babies?

Put yourself in the position of a baby just before he/she is born? Suddenly squeezed out through the birth canal under strong pressure.... may be pulled or sucked out due to obstetrical intervention. The shock of a traumatic birth can also sometimes interrupt a normal ventilatory reflex ( breathing). An asymmetric breathing pattern can lead to a host of problems not least being inaccurately diagnosed with asthma.If your baby cries inconsolably, has rampant colic for no apparent reason and you have changed the milk, adjusted the environment of the nursery. If baby still is inconsolable it may be that the infant has straight forward neck back or head ache which  is  the cause of the irritation. If the irritation is physical in origin I may well be able to relieve your babies discomfort.

When to treat?....Its never too soon and depending upon the problem its never too late but before 6 yrs old gives the best opportunity for good results.
 
For adults the technique can be wonderfully relaxing and maybe a catalyst for removing subtle blocks in the anatomy that seem to resolve certain  conditions.
