‘Goldfish’, the Credit Card Company, have enlisted celebrities including; Rik Mayall, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Meera Syal and more, to write short stories about themselves and their ‘Goldfish’.
‘Me and my Goldfish like cranial osteopathy’ is the contribution from Meera Syal. The story is jovial tale about a mother who has tried everything to try to get her 2 year old to sleep through the night. One day, whilst walking in the park, she starts chatting to another mother. ‘She looked too good to be a member of the SDP, (the Sleep Deprived Parent party), Her clothes were vaguely ironed, they didn‚t have Calpol down them, there were no purple hollows under her eyes and she smiled without looking brave. “Cranial Osteopathy” she whispered to me, passing on the holy grail of a secret. I sighed. Add it to the list, I thought. “No really” she said, “I tried everything and three sessions, and Will was like a different child.”‘
Cranial osteopathy is suitable for all ages. It is particularly good in the treatment of children and babies as its gentle approach is a very calming and non-invasive experience. The osteopathic practitioner uses gentle techniques to balance the cranial rhythm and help remove any retained birth stresses. Retained birth stress can be expressed in a number of ways; poor sleeping pattern, constant crying, poor feeding and slow development are just a few.
