Cranial Osteopathy in Marbella
Cranial osteopathy is a branch of osteopathy that uses gentle manual techniques and light touch, primarily around the head, neck and face.
At Miosteopata in Marbella, we offer personalised care, taking into account each patient’s needs, medical history and individual circumstances.
What Does Cranial Osteopathy Involve?
Cranial osteopathy involves assessing the structures of the skull, face and neck, as well as their relationship with the surrounding muscles and soft tissues.
Based on this osteopathic assessment, we identify areas of tension or restricted mobility and consider which gentle manual techniques may be appropriate for each individual.
Treatment may focus on the cranial, cervical and orofacial regions, as well as the surrounding soft tissues, always respecting the patient’s comfort and tolerance.
Some traditional cranial osteopathic approaches refer to a primary respiratory mechanism and subtle cranial movements. However, these concepts have not been reliably established scientifically and should not be presented as proven physiological mechanisms.
What Techniques Are Used?
Depending on each patient’s individual needs and circumstances, a session may include:
- Gentle manual contact techniques around the head.
- Soft tissue techniques for the head and neck.
- Relaxation techniques and light-touch approaches.
- Gentle mobilisation of the cervical region, where appropriate.
The choice of techniques is tailored to each individual, always prioritising patient comfort and taking any potential contraindications into account.
