Sacro Cranial Therapy

Sacro-cranial therapy, also known as cranial osteopathy, is a very gentle form of osteopathic treatment.

What is sacro-cranial therapy?

Sacro-cranial therapy is an approach within osteopathy that uses very light, subtle touch, mainly on the head, the spine and the sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine). Rather than stretching or moving joints, the osteopath uses their hands to feel for areas of tension and restriction in the body, and gently encourages them to release.

What does it feel like?

You lie comfortably on the treatment couch while Jose places his hands gently on your head, back or pelvis. The pressure is very light, and most people find the treatment deeply relaxing.

Who might choose it?

Sacro-cranial therapy can be a good option if you prefer a very gentle approach, or if firmer hands-on techniques don’t suit you. It can be used on its own, or combined with other osteopathic techniques in the same session, depending on what you need.

Jose’s training

Jose has trained in cranial osteopathy with the Sutherland Cranial College and the Upledger Institute, alongside his postgraduate studies in classical osteopathy. He is registered with the General Osteopathic Council.
