Cranioosteopathy Kelowna

You may have encountered osteopathy as a solution for back and posture difficulties. It’s a hands-on technique that stretches muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues while manipulating joints to ensure seamless function. Did you know these same principles can be applied to your neck and head through a technique called cranial osteopathy?

We Are Here for YOU!

Osteopathic Practitioners support the body’s ability to restore and maintain health by using skilled palpation and manual techniques to influence muscles, joints, nerves, connective tissue, circulation and internal organs.

The World Health Organization, in its 2010 report on Osteopathy, recognized osteopathy as distinct from other healthcare professions that utilize manual techniques, such as physiotherapy and chiropractic, despite some overlap in the techniques and interventions employed.

We also offer direct billing to most major insurance companies as well as ICBC. Please see our direct billing page for more information.

Understanding Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy is a special form of osteopathy involving gentle manipulation of your head and spine. It aims to balance the forces within our body. Our experienced practitioners use their hands to delicately mobilise your neck and cranium, releasing any pent-up stress or tension. Its gentle nature makes cranial osteopathy suitable for everyone, from little ones to adults.

The Magic Behind Cranial Osteopathy

Our osteopaths tap into their skills and years of experience to recognise subtle rhythmic movements in your body, referred to as ‘Cranial Rhythms’. These involuntary movements help our osteopaths identify altered movement patterns, stress points, or strains within your body. 

What to Expect from Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, relaxing, and non-intrusive technique. During the process, you may feel your tension and discomfort easing or completely disappearing. Some clients report little sensation during the procedure but notice significant improvements afterwards. The deeply soothing nature of the treatment may even lull you to sleep! 

The Benefits of Cranial Osteopathy

Many of our clients report improved sleep quality and patterns, as well as a general increase in well-being after cranial osteopathy sessions. While there’s no concrete scientific evidence linking cranial osteopathy to the treatment of migraines or tinnitus in adults, many find that the relaxation it provides helps create a positive outcome for these conditions.

Cranial osteopathy is a safe and gentle technique, suitable for people of all ages. It can provide us with relief from physical and mental tension, which in turn helps us to feel more relaxed and energised so we can tackle the day ahead. So if you’re looking for a natural solution to better manage your stress levels, why not give cranial osteopathy a try? You just might be surprised by the positive results!
