 Cranial Osteopathy

 This is the gentlest form of osteopathy. It is particularly suited to babies and children due to it's gentle nature, but it's extreme effectiveness makes it just as good for adults.  It works on the whole body and not just the cranium, though some techniques are applied via the head. In addition to releasing physical strain patterns it is excellent at calming the bodies nervous systems and releasing emotional trauma. It uses the bodies own subtle fluctuating rhythm to diagnose and gently tease out problems. While feeling very gentle and relaxing to the patient, it is extremely effective. It also works on an energetic level, acknowledging and attending to the bodies own priorities. It unravels complex strain patterns and improves vitality. It can also be applied in local areas to release and restore normal function to joints, muscles, organs and connective tissues.
I would tend to favour this approach, but use whatever is the most effective for an individual.

 Structural or Classical Osteopathy

 This is a more physical approach, utilising more stretching, trigger points and joint articulation and adjustments. I use it when needed, though only with consent and with minimum force and maximum finesse.
