CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral therapy was developed in 1939 by an osteopath named William Sutherland. He claimed that the cranial bones were able to move (later confirmed by researchers) and that the central nervous system and its associated structures were in constant rhythmic motion. CranioSacral therapy requires a light hands-on technique to manipulate the connective tissues of the body, as well as the membranes and fluid which surround the brain and spinal cord. CranioSacral therapy practitioners claim that by releasing restrictions in these structures, a variety of neurological and motor disabilities can be alleviated. While some practitioners claim that this technique can help alleviate seizures, there are no studies documenting its efficacy.
