Cranial osteopathy itself was developed in the early 1900s by Dr William Garner Sutherland, one of the chief disciples of Dr Andrew Taylor Still, the man who founded osteopathy in 1872.
Dr Sutherland was the first to propose the idea (although Dr Still alluded to it) that the body's entire nervous system – including the skull – was in “constant rhythmic motion” and that this motion was crucial to health. When the movements were restricted, adverse symptoms would arise.
Dr Sutherland even tested the theories on his own head. When he deliberately created restrictions, he experienced symptoms such as depression, severe headaches or jaw pain. When he released those restrictions, the symptoms went away.
At that time, few believed him because the movements were very subtle and could only be felt by a person with highly sensitive hands.
Dr Sutherland was called a “heretic” and a “quack”.
It was only in the 1940s - some 40 years after he first proposed his theories – that Dr Sutherland's work began to gain wider acceptance among medical practitioners.
Today, highly sensitive computerised medical diagnostic equipment confirm that Dr Sutherland had been right all along. Dr Sutherland's theories are now accepted as medical fact.
Cranial treatment is effective for the treatment of all the conditions that benefit from regular osteopathic manipulation.
Because of the gentle nature of the treatment, however, it is especially beneficial for pregnant mothers and newborn infants after a difficult delivery. It is found to be very calming for infants and children with developmental disorders and learning difficulties, such as those suffering from autism.
CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY has been successful in the treatment of:
• Autism• ADD: attention deficit disorder• ADHD: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder• Delayed physical and mental development• Learning & behavioural disabilities• Birth trauma – ventouse / forceps delivery / caesarian delivery• Colic
• Scoliosis and other postural problems• Cerebral palsy or plasticityBells palsy• Sudden onset squint• Head / whiplash injuries• Coccyx pain• Headache / migraine• Menstrual pain and irregularity• Problems associated with pregnancy• Recurrent infection• Asthma & other respiratory disorders• Stress / depression• Chronic fatigue
Cranial osteopathy is also helpful for those who do not 'click' during regular osteopathic manipulation.

We went to see Sanjay today as usual. He was very happy to see that sound therapy has helped Darren a lot. He didn't cry when Sanjay brought him to the room, so he asked me to go in as well. He enjoys being swing up & down real fast. But he hated it when Sanjay put him on the Metal stairs for him to climb up. He seemed composed & calm throughout the session.
But he suggested that we bring Darren to Cranio therapy as he can feel that Darren's head is a bit tight, and he is concern about his speech. Because he is not talking at all all these while. We tried every theaphies & supplements but nothing helps him so far. So, we have no choice, we have to follow what the expert say. I will book the cranio therapy next week....
