About craniosacral therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a light-touch complementary practice. People commonly explore it for relaxation, stress, headaches, and musculoskeletal tension, but evidence for condition-specific benefits is mixed. It should complement—not replace—appropriate medical assessment and treatment.
