Osteopathy East London Osteopathy for Central and East London John Mallinder & Associate

Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle manipulative pressure to encourage the release of stresses throughout the body, including the head. It is not as the name might suggest a form of scalp massage, but instead a series of supportive contacts that in many instances undermines the patient's tension. As tension and pain are so closely allied this can effectively alter their perception of pain, and provide significant steps towards recovery.
