Cranial Therapy
can enhance your health
and well-being
Elizabeth Clayton DO, Cranial and Physical Practitioner
Clinic in Chardstock, Devon.
Welcome to our practice where we offer gentle treatment for the whole family, from newborn to the elderly. We have a special interest in cranial-sacral treatment.
However the phrase “Cranial Therapy” can be misleading as it implies treatment of the head only. We use these gentle yet powerful techniques across the WHOLE body in our treatments.
Cranial Therapy: Treatment
Our approach to healthcare
Our holistic approach to healthcare focuses on the structure and function of the body so we consider, for example, muscles, ligaments, nerves, bones, joints and the circulation of fluids as well as the Involuntary Rhythm throughout the body.
We use our hands to relieve pain, tension and stiffness, helping you to feel more comfortable and to help your whole body function more efficiently. We pay attention to detail and aim to help people to help themselves, not just provide a quick fix.
We consider all aspects of a person’s welfare including physical and mental, exercise and relaxation, nutrition, body-use and posture, effects of physical and emotional stress.
