Our Work

The World Health Organisation defines health as a -

"State of complete physical mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity."

They state that conventional medicine alone cannot achieve this in all presenting cases. Our treatment programmes are focused at providing support, encouragement and holistic based therapies for individuals to address their pain, suicidal ideation, depression, drug and alcohol addictions and offending behaviour. The IINM also provides support for families with children with autism. Problems regarded as insoluble can be brought within the sphere of non-invasive cranial investigation.

Our Treatment Model

The therapeutic intervention we apply is Cranial Structural Alignment (CSA) a non-invasive treatment which observes the gravitational forces acting on the musclo-skeletal system arising from the patient's disease or injury. This treatment takes into account the influence of family dynamic, birth trauma and traumatic impact at an emotional, mental and physical level. Our treatment model has proved successful and enabled patients with their recovery process. The CSA programme is an intensive health support process which includes -

• Self-observation of life patterns
• Holistic counselling
• Stress management
• Group sessions
• Meditation
• Yoga
• Hill walking
• Self discipline
• Self development

Cranial Structural Alignment

CSA is a non-invasive treatment for imbalances in the musclo-skeletal system evolved over years of study of yoga, meditation and martial arts. Primary application supports the health of individuals confronting the following illnesses:

• Addiction
• Autism
• Birth and diverse trauma
• Depression
• Family trauma
• Mental health issues
• Pain from musclo-skeletal impact and injuries
• Suicide ideation
• Violence and self-harm

C.S.A. - Science

It Fluctuates within its closed container and is directed to assist in the release of ligamentous and membranous articular strains by virture of its intelligence and potency provides the body with protective and restorative powers.

Holistic Self Awareness

The first step of recovery is to recognise that I cannot control another person or situation to avoid dealing with my own life issues.
