During a personal appointment at the Soul & Body clinic, our doctor will determine which osteopathic therapy method suits each patient. Many excellent methods have been developed to restore health. Both individual techniques and their combinations can prove effective.

What is Cranial Osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is a type of osteopathy based on regulating the rhythmic movements of cerebrospinal fluid from the cranial bones to the sacral bones. Rhythm disruption interrupts the connection between them and causes issues in the body. Using their hands, an osteopath senses changes and restores mechanics between the cranial bones by applying appropriate therapeutic manipulations. Cranial therapy methods address the deep-seated causes of disorders, yielding results when traditional medicine falls short.

Leading progressive clinics in the USA, UK, and Western Europe utilize cranial osteopathy methods, which have become available in Kyiv.

First Cranial Osteopathy Session

During the initial appointment, the osteopath diagnoses, treats, and tests. These three points are essential components of a cranial osteopathy session.

Diagnosis: It’s important for the doctor to observe and assess how the patient walks, sits, the speed of their movements, how they hold their head, their posture, whether they shuffle their feet, or hunch. Then, the doctor conducts an interview, clarifying complaints, asking about the onset, exacerbation, and duration of the condition. The more detailed the description, the more complete the picture of the patient’s health the doctor can form. The osteopath examines and palpates the affected areas, evaluates the results of ultrasound, X-rays, or MRI scans.
Treatment: Pain syndrome, discomfort, and unpleasant sensations are alleviated by influencing specific points on the cranial bones. While lying down, the rhythm of cerebrospinal fluid movement is detected and assessed. The doctor determines which part of the skull and spine to focus on. Then, without touching the entire body, the osteopath affects only the cranial area. The specialist’s movements and influence are so gentle that the patient doesn’t feel any changes. However, after the session, everyone notes a feeling of lightness, pain relief, with some comparing the treatment to a resort vacation.
Testing: This is conducted at the end. The osteopath compares the patient’s condition and their movements before and after the procedures.

The entire cranial therapy session lasts 50-60 minutes and is painless. Since the body’s reaction lasts up to a week, sessions are not recommended more frequently than once every 7-10 days.
