I do know of a patient of mine who got it done for fibromyalgia with adverse effect. A lot of evidence is based on hearsay. It is dangerous when practised by rookie practitioners. It is not an effective tool in therapy for depression, stress relief, migraines etc. <em>Therapist: I agree that craniosacral could be dangerous in the wrong practicioner's hands. That is why I would encourage that anyone who is looking for this type of approach to their problems would look for an Osteopathic physician who is trained not only in the manual approach but also in the relevant anatomy, physiology, diagnostics, differential diagnosis, and treatments. That physician is in the best position to determine whether manual treatment would be a useful addition to their treatment plan. Thanks for reading!</em> Is cranio sacral therapy really proven?
