Cranial Osteopathy For Babies London Bridge

Q: What is the difference between craniosacral therapy and cranial osteopathy?

Cranial osteopathy is practiced by osteopaths who are statutorily regulated primary healthcare professionals. To obtain an Integrated Masters of Osteopathy (MOst) and be able to use the title 'osteopath' takes four years of intensive study and a commitment to ongoing study throughout your career. Craniosacral therapy works on the same principals but as it is not a protected title, anyone can call themselves a craniosacral therapist regardless of their training.

CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY

HARPER ROAD OSTEOPATH CLINIC

Cranial osteopathy for babies

Osteopaths treat people of all ages. As babies skeletons are softer than an adults, osteopaths use gentler techniques than with our adult patients.

Cranial osteopathy is an extremely safe and gentle treatment approach which aims to ease stresses and strains that osteopaths believe can lead to unsettled or uncomfortable babies. Treatment aims to soothe and relax your baby and, wherever possible, we will teach you techniques to do the same!

Osteopathy is considered a complementary therapy, therefore we work alongside doctors and midwives to ensure the best care for our patients. Osteopaths are trained to screen for medical conditions and we will tell you if you need to see your doctor or midwife.

I have had treatment from Louisa several times and she always helps with the aches and pains I experience as a spin teacher. Louisa listens thoughtfully and tailors her treatment to my specific body and needs, something I've rarely experienced in healthcare settings and which makes me feel so comfortable and safe. She is kind and highly skilled. As a queer and non binary person I also very much appreciate the safe space she creates. Thank you Lou!

Very nice practice, easy to reach from London Bridge. I saw Louisa for a treatment and it was excellent. Louisa is very knowledgable, caring, attentive and empathetic. She takes a holistic approach and I felt so much better afterwards. I can absolutely recommend her!

I always look forward to my visits with Caroline, not only is she kind and a good listener but she consistently manages to find the root of my back aches and pains. When she has worked her magic, I leave feeling supple and perhaps a little taller.

I've been seeing Caroline for Perrin technique treatment since August 2022 after developing long covid. She's been amazing, understanding, and very accommodating. I could not have gotten back to my normal self without her help. Thank you, Caroline! 🙂

Louisa from Harper Osteopathy has been fantastic in dealing with my back pain from a previous health issue and post-partum. With each session she works on “stretching” and diminishing tension from the affected areas, helping me gain back confidence towards a healthy back and lifestyle.
