“…Therefore, there have been and still remain, continued calls for it to stand up to the rigors of evidence-based medicine.

Background: Craniosacral therapy (CST) has remained controversial in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. To our knowledge, there is no larger sample size of research to demonstrate the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy in the human suboccipital region on hamstring muscle. Methods: To study whether the CST in the human suboccipital region could have a remote effect on the flexibility of the hamstring muscles, the Cochrane Library, Medline/Pubmed, CNKI, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched. Clinical trials assessing the effects of CST in short hamstring syndrome patients were eligible. Mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for the straight leg raise test (primary outcomes). The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RevMan 5.3 software was used for data analysis. Results: Five controlled trials with a total of 238 participants were included. CST could effectively relieve the symptoms of short hamstring syndrome patients [the overall MD −9.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) −15.82 to −3.12, P < .000001]. The CST was better than the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique (MD 3.09, 95% CI 1.48–4.70, P = .0002). Sensitivity analysis shows that the frequency of treatment and who did the experiment might be the main sources of impact results. Conclusion: CST could change the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. CST had a better curative effect when compared to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on the hamstring muscles.

“…Attention is increasingly being paid to techniques associated with a holistic approach, which means that body and mind should be taken into consideration equally [8]. In Norway, for example, craniosacral therapy has been used as a complementary method for treating people with trauma [8]. What is specific to the cranial area of osteopathy is the extension of osteopathic principles to the cranial sphere and the synchronisation with micro-movements in the tissue and speculative tissue rhythms [9].…”

(1) Background: Fire department cadets preparing to become firefighters and paramedics experience high levels of stress when participating in incidents like traffic accidents and fires. Stress adversely affects health and coping with it proves difficult. Unfortunately, there is no single method that reduces stress completely in humans. One non-invasive method for lowering stress hormone levels is craniosacral therapy. (2) Methods: Fifty-seven firefighting cadets aged 18-24 years (21.63 ± 1.41) participated in the study. They were randomly assigned to either a test group or a control group. Participants’ blood levels of cortisol and CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone) were assessed before and after the study. The study group underwent 5-week craniosacral therapy (1x per week). (3) Results: The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the therapy group’s result was statistically significant for CRH values (p-value=0.00067) and for cortisol values (p-value=&lt;0.0001). Wilxocon and Dunn tests showed that statistical significance for cortisol after CS therapy between the control and study groups (p=0.0377), and for CRH between the control and study groups before (p=0.00634) and after the study (p=0.000887), and in the study group before and after the study (p=0.0101). (4) Conclusions: Five weeks of craniosacral therapy lowered stress hormone levels. This therapy is a non-invasive tool for reducing stress.
