Cranial Osteopathy Treatment in Kolkata

Overview

Cranial osteopathy is an extremely gentle form of osteopathic treatment where the practitioner uses very light touch on your head, spine, and sacrum (lower back bone). It is one of the most relaxing therapies available and is suitable for everyone — from newborn babies to elderly adults.

How It Works

Cranial osteopathy is based on the idea that the bones of your skull are not fused together rigidly — they have a very subtle, rhythmic movement. This movement is connected to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord).

When this rhythm is disrupted due to injury, stress, birth trauma, or chronic tension, it can cause headaches, sleep problems, jaw pain, anxiety, and other health issues. During cranial osteopathy, Dr. Partha Sarathi Neogi places his hands very gently on your head and body, feeling for disturbances in this natural rhythm. Using extremely light pressure — often no more than the weight of a coin — he encourages the body to release tension and restore its natural balance.

Many patients find cranial osteopathy deeply relaxing and often fall asleep during the session. It is particularly effective for babies, children, and people with conditions where stronger techniques may not be appropriate.
