Cranial Treatment for Limb and Pelvis Health

Pain or dysfunction in the pelvis and limbs will often be more than just a localised injury. In the upper limb, the appropriate functioning of a simple arm movement requires a whole body co-ordination. Break down of this whole body integration can result in over use of certain structures, predisposing an individual to injury. We aim to diagnose and treat the cause of any upper limb pain, including common conditions such as tennis elbow, tendonitis / tendonosis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and frozen shoulder.

The pelvis and lower limbs provide the foundations for our bodies and spine. Changes in position, mobility or muscular mechanics of the foot, ankle, knee, hip and pelvis can cause dysfunction and pain. Cranial treatment for the lower limb and pelvis can address common symptom patterns such as arthritis, postural dysfunctions, muscle/ligament strains or tears, fasciitis, and referred pain.

The head and the pelvis are often treated during a cranial osteopathic approach, as they are key points in the body that link other parts through mechanical functioning, fluids and the nervous system. Cranial treatment for limb and pelvis pain or dysfuction will always address the wider whole through aiding the body’s self-correcting mechanism.
