Headaches
and sinus pain
Treating excessive tension in the muscles
of the neck and face will often ease sinus pain and remove
the cause of persistent headaches. Craniosacral Therapy offers
an extremely gentle way of treating sinus congestion and migraine
headaches.
Back and Neck Problems
The majority of people suffer at some time
with an aching back or stiff neck. These are the main reasons
for absence from work. The spine suffers from wear and tear,
and compression, even without the added effects of trauma,
sitting for long periods or performing heavy physical work.
Treatment can help with strains, sprains, stiff and painful
neck and shoulders, sciatica and other specific low back pain.
Trauma
Recovery from trauma such as whiplash injury,
sprained joints, strained or pulled muscles, injured tendons
or ligaments can be speeded up and after-effects minimised.

Arthritic Conditions
Treatment can improve quality of life by
reducing pain and increasing the range of movement in arthritic
joints.
Abdominal and Pelvic Conditions
Visceral and Craniosacral treatment can help
to avoid post surgical adhesions and assist fluid drainage.
Digestive disorders such as constipation, irritable bowel
syndrome, oesophageal reflux, gastritis, respond well to Visceral
Osteopathic treatment.
Mother and Baby
The emotional strain of pregnancy followed
by the physical stress of the birth often leaves the body
with a feeling of being "pushed down" and "collapsed".
Postural problems that develop at this time can cause problems
later in life.
Frequently the mother suffers back and neck pain in the weeks
and months following the birth and is too busy to seek help.
Freeing and balancing the body as soon as possible after the
birth helps the mother cope with the new demands of the baby.
Craniosacral treatment at this time is particularly helpful
in treating postnatal depression.
Compression of the baby's cranium at birth can lead to developmental
problems. Injury to the neck during birth can cause colic
and distress which disturbs sleep and digestion. Birth trauma
can be treated all through life but the sooner it is treated,
the faster and more complete the response. [see
