AbstractCraniosacral therapy (CST) is a non-pharmacological approach which is used to treat a wide variety of disorders such as neck and back pain, migraines, mental stress, TMJ Syndrome, chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, etc.. It involves manually identifying restrictions in the craniosacral system and using soft, gentle hands-on techniques to correct it. It helps in easing out the restrictions of nerve passages, optimizing movement of the cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord and restoring proper position of the misaligned bones. Although being a useful therapy, it has a lot of criticisms and little scientific support for the underlying theoretical model.
