Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, also spelled CranioSacral bodywork or therapy) is an alternative therapy used by osteopaths and massage therapy practitioners. A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which they say allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral system. The practitioner gently works with the spine and skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. In this way, the restrictions of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is said to be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapists use the therapy to treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ, and chronic pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia.  Several studies have reported that there is little scientific support for major elements of the underlying theoretical model, which has not been rigorously analyzed.
