Cranial osteopathy is a specialist field of osteopathy. The therapy involves very gently manipulating areas of the head to reduce tightness and strain and help with problems in the nervous system.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle hands-on treatment that may provide relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain and side effects of cancer treatment among many others. CST uses a light touch to examine membranes and movement of fluids in and around the central nervous system.

People who perform cranial therapies believe that they have the potential to balance obstructions in your nervous and immune systems.

They believe that through a series of physical manipulations, they can normalize the rhythm of your cerebrospinal fluid, which can allegedly cure a variety of disorders.
