Craniosacral therapy is a type of alternative medicine that focuses on gentle touch and movement to help relieve tension and promote healing in the body. It involves the therapist working with the bones and tissues around the head, spine, and sacrum (a large triangular bone at the base of the spine). It is believed to enhance the body's natural ability to heal and bring balance to the nervous system.
