Click here for information on general osteopathy In osteopathic training an osteopath is taught a variety of different methods and techniques. These range from the manipulative thrusts through to the gentle cranial methods. An osteopath may vary their treatment approach according to their own favoured manner and the patients needs.

“Cranial” techniques are very gentle, and are on the subtle end of the spectrum of different treatment approaches. They work to release stresses throughout the body, including the head. They can be used in the treatment of a range of conditions in people of all ages, from birth through to old age.

At the Candlewell Clinic we have a particular interest in treating children with developmental and learning difficulties.
