There are many excellent textbooks on osteopathy. One of my favourites is Cranial Manipulation Theory and Practice (Osseous and Soft Tissue Approaches) by Leon Chaitow, published by Churchhill Livingstone. This is beautifully-illustrated textbook – which comes with an excellent CD – combines traditional osteopath approaches with cranial osteopathy.
A pregnant patient has returned to me for 2 or 3 treatments as she found my previous cranial osteopathy sessions so beneficial while pregnant. She asked me how cranial osteopathy works for low back pain during pregnancy.
The first time I really saw the beneficial effects of stress relief using cranial osteopathy was treating a new born baby boy who was endlessly crying. There was no underlying medical condition. To my pleasure, on his first session he relaxed and beamed at his parents.
