Cranial treatment for energy, well-being, and easing of stress and anxiety

Cranial osteopathy helps with the symptoms of stress and anxiety/depression by balancing sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activation, to tone down the “fight or flight” response that is activated during stress, and is often overstimulated in everyday life.

This dominance of the sympathetic nervous system can also lead to adrenal stress which can decrease the immune function of other organs. Immunity and prevention/relief of colds, flu and pneumonia can also be enhanced through a cranial approach to thoracic mobility and lymphatic drainage, as well as liver, spleen and abdominal organ function.

Cranial treatment also enhances sleep or resolves sleep issues, and reduces fatigue, through its effect on the nervous and hormonal systems.
