Structural & Cranial Osteopathy

Osteopathy Meaning
Named osteo (bone) – (pathy) sympathy by founder father Dr A T Still, the term expresses the synergistic link between your structure, your vital organs and your mental processes
What Is Cranial Osteopathy?
Cranial osteopathy is an exquisitely gentle method for engaging your body’s self-correcting forces and bring about optimal health
Originally intended for the skull , modern day cranial osteopaths use the method to treat the whole body, releasing strain and allowing your system to settle naturally into balance
Cranial osteopathy can be practiced biomechanically and biodynamically. With characteristics of both energy healing and body-work cranial osteopathy may be practiced hands-on at also at distance

What Does An Osteopath Do?
As the point of origin of the nerves linking your central nervous system to vital organs, the spine has a central role in osteopathic medicine
Beyond dealing with back and neck pain, a healthy spine is essential for orchestrating healthy function in all your organ systems.
That said, osteopaths treat the whole body, emphasizing the connection of each part to every other

Working With the Tide:
Cranial Osteopathy
The basis of cranial osteopathy is the “tide” – a subtle rhythmic motion expressed in your body, and considered a vital expression of health
Cranial osteopaths engage with the tide, listening to the body, following and releasing strain patterns
Though invisible to the eye, the tide is experienced as a powerful surge revealing a dynamic world of flows, relationships, points of resistance and also avenues for freedom
No force is used. Cranial oriented osteopaths work with your body using no more than intention to guide your system to healthy balance
Cranial Osteopathic Biomechanics
Working biomechanically, osteopaths direct the tide to harmonize the mechanical forces acting on your body and optimize your structure
The involuntary motion or tide was discovered by the osteopath W G Sutherland while studying the mechanics of the cranium
Though an excellent way of working with the head, the tide is expressed globally, making cranial osteopathy suitable for treating the whole body
Dr Sutherland soon realized this and went to develop a more inclusive approach known today as the biodynamic craniosacral model
Biodynamic Cranial Osteopathy
The bio (life) dynamic (motion) approach is a natural evolution from biomechanics which acknowledges that the body is a self-organizing energy field
The practitioner establishes a deep, empathic connection, using only intention to free your system
Rather than impose a treatment direction biodynamic cranial osteopaths follow an inherent treatment plan, allowing priorities to emerge naturally to facilitate healing at the deepest level
Distance Craniosacral
Cranial osteopaths famously do “nothing”: cranial osteopathy is, indeed, an intention based therapy and closer energy healing than body therapy in the normal sense
Hands-on or off intention is in the mind. And what we know of this greatest of mysteries conforms to quantum rather than classical mechanics
In the quantum world entangled particles mirror each other’s behaviour – instantly and across any distance, great or small, defying all our notions of time and distance
Distance work is not new. We can hypothesize the possibility of establishing such a resonance between yourself and the practitioner, in the realm of consciousness, and independent of distance
What is the tide? What is its purpose? Does it have an objective reality? We can hypothesize, but the short answer is we don’t know
Hypotheses aside a distance craniosacral session follows exactly the same course as hands-on
It’s a mystery, certainly. But then cranial osteopathy remains very much a mystery
