What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Natural Pain reliefCraniosacral therapy, also known as cranial osteopathy, is a gentle healing modality, which assists the body's natural ability to self-heal. It is based on the theory that emotional or physical trauma can cause the bones of the head to move and misalign.

Craniosacral therapy finds its origins in the research conducted by Dr  William Sutherland, an American Osteopath, around 1900. DrMigraine Help Ebook Sutherland discovered intrinsic movements of the bones in the head. His research further pointed to different rhythms in the body, which are measurable with delicate scientific instruments.

Clinical research further seemed to reveal that these movements are linked with mental and emotional health. In the 1940's Dr Sutherland began to teach post-graduate courses in "Osteopathy in the Cranial Field", a field which later became to be known as Cranial Osteopathy.

Later in his work, Dr Sutherland began to feel an energy during his treatments that many liken to Prana or Qi which aided the natural self-healing process of the body of his patients. Clinical studies were conducted by the University of Michigan in the 1970's and 1980's that focussed on cranial bone movement and cranial rhythm.
