Yes, very much disputed among physicians.

It's not like Reiki at all. There is no energy which is passed on with the hands in cranio-sacral therapy (CST).

It is not like chiropractics either, as chiropratics is definite manipulation of bones and joints.

CST is a gentle manipulation, sometimes hardly perceptible, which aims at aligning the cranium (head) and the sacral area (pelvis) and at the same time aligning the spine in between, as it should be. Then everything falls naturally into place.Health Question & Answer

Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, cranial osteopathy, also spelled CranioSacral bodywork or therapy) is a method of Complementary and alternative medicine used by physical therapists, massage therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths. A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which they state allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral system. By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of CSF through the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position.Health Question & Answer
