Independence
Craniosacral Guide accepts no advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate fees, and is not owned or funded by any training school or professional association. Practitioner and training listings are presented to support your own comparison and research, not as endorsements. If that ever changes, this page will say so plainly.
How we evaluate evidence
Craniosacral therapy research is genuinely mixed: some trials and reviews report benefits for headache, chronic neck and back pain, and stress-related complaints, while broader syntheses find no clear effect or judge the evidence too low-quality to rely on. We try to represent both directions honestly, prefer citing systematic reviews and named studies over promotional claims, and link to sources so you can read them yourself. Where the evidence is weak, we say so rather than overstating it.
Reading claims with caution
We distinguish between early positive signals and later, broader reviews; between statistically significant and clinically meaningful change; and between practitioner accounts and controlled trials. A condition page saying something 'may help' is not the same as saying it 'is proven to work'.
Honest uncertainty
Some pages are more thoroughly researched than others. Pages that have been through a deeper editorial review carry a 'Last reviewed' date; pages without one are still useful but should be read with appropriate caution. We do not fabricate review dates or invent named clinicians.
Corrections
If you spot an error, an overstated claim, or a broken citation, please tell us. We update pages when better evidence becomes available and note the change where it materially affects the conclusion. You can reach the editorial team through the contact details on any page footer.
