Generally, families will present with a focus in mind. Whether that is physical pain, an emotional pattern... held by a specific member of the family. The work will be focused on helping that individual release within the context and with the help of other members of their family. This allows a more sustained ease and shift for that individual. For this to be achieved, most people present in the room will receive treatment. Therefore, this work also results in the whole family unit shifting ensuring harmony and a sense of wellbeing for everyone.
In some cases, individual members may require a session for themselves before the family can come together again to ensure that everyone can move forward. This need will be recognised and once discussed the preferred option for the patient will be accommodated to ensure that treatments are sequenced and targeted correctly for all.
A family first session is 60-90 mins long ( £79) and the family follow up sessions are usually 60 mins long ( £69). If you want to discuss your specific needs please get in touch with me directly via email info@thecranialosteopath.co.uk or call 01780 250 147.
It is important to remember that family relationships play a central role in shaping an individual’s well-being across their life course (Merz et al 2009).
