Craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, cranial osteopathy, also spelled
CranioSacral bodywork or therapy) is a method of Complementary and alternative
medicine used by physical therapists, massage therapists, naturopaths,
chiropractors and osteopaths. A craniosacral therapy session involves the
therapist placing their hands on the patient, which they say allows them to tune
into what they call the craniosacral system. By gently working with the spine,
the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of
nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through
the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored
to their proper position. Craniosacral therapists use the therapy to treat
mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome, and for chronic pain
conditions such as fibromyalgia. There is no scientific support for major
elements of the underlying model, there is little scientific evidence to support
the therapy, and research methods that could conclusively evaluate the therapy's
effectiveness have not been applied.
