Cranial Osteopathy
Dr William Sutherland, a student of A T Still, extended osteopathic principles into the cranium.
He recognised that there is an innate movement pattern between the 22 bones that make up the skull, albeit microscopic.
The existence of these movements has been categorically demonstrated by Frymann and also by Upledger. Moreover, this movement pattern extends throughout the whole body and is seen as the central core of the body’s self-regulation, self-maintenance and self-repair capacity, as predicted by Still’s third principle.
Finding and removing obstructions to this mechanism is a gentle yet powerful way of not only fixing problems, but also working on the reasons that the problems arose in the first place, for example old traumas.
Mother and Baby
Being born is often traumatic for the baby. Cranial osteopathy is perfectly suited for working with infants and children. Sorting out these early problems and occasional maintenance to deal with early bangs and bumps gives the child the best possible chance in life.
Giving birth is invariable traumatic for the mother as well. In fact, the most important thing for a child is mother’s love, which is easier to give when the mother is well and happy. Postnatal trauma is a great example of how structure governs function. The tissues of the pelvis are traumatised by giving birth (Caesarean section is often worse) which may cause hormones to be aberrant leading to deep depression. Releasing the stress in the pelvis can restore normal function. Infertility may have similar causes.
Clinical Kinesiology
The term Clinical Kinesiology(CK) was coined by Dr Alan Beardall DC to describe his system of muscle testing. Dr Beardall was considered by his peers to be head and shoulders above the rest of the world. Since Dr Beardall’s untimely demise in 1987, CK was advanced in UK by Richard Holding DO. Ashley has further developed CK into an elegant diagnostic & therapeutic framework which enhances clarity in muscle testing. This has enabled him to pinpoint problems and clearly demonstrate improvements in muscle function during the treatment and also to compare past and present function.
