cranial osteopathy

Has anyone had cranial osteopathy or had their children "done"?

My son is going for his first session in the summer holidays. He is going through the diagnosis for autism at the moment and is VERY sensitive about his head - he can't stand having his hair combed, can't wear a hat and I have to enlist mum and dad to help me wash his hair - 3 times a year! :eek:

Is there anything I should bear in mind before we go? Does it take long? Will he feel different afterwards to the point where I should keep the rest of the afternoon free?

Thank you!

    Hi - I've had both my children "done".
    With my son - he never had glue ear again - it was wonderful.

    Both children were quite tired afterwards - so leave the afternoon free if you can.

    The touch is very delicate - my daughter also couldn't bear to be touched at the time she went. If you have an experienced osteopath they will be really good with your son.

    Good luck.

    Hi there,

    Two of my friends have used C.O one their children and both said it was the best thing they could have done for their little ones, apparently their kids seemed calmer over night.

    Good luck xx:)
