## Key Topics Covered

**What is CST:** Gentle hands-on therapy working with cranial bones, sacrum, meninges, and fascial system. Proposed mechanism involves subtle rhythmic pulses of cerebrospinal fluid.

**Evidence status:** Mixed. Some systematic reviews show modest benefits for headache and chronic pain; others find no clear effect. Safety profile is excellent.

**Practitioner standards:** Training ranges from 2-day introductions to multi-year certification programs (RCST, BCST). No universal regulatory standard exists.
