Craniosacral therapy, also called cranial osteopathy, is a form of alternative medicine that uses gentle touch to feel rhythmic movements of the skull's bones that practitioners claim to be able to sense and correct. It is based on fundamental misconceptions about the anatomy and physiology of the human skull and is considered pseudoscientific, despite being promoted for treating a wide range of health conditions.
