Craniosacral massage (also called cranial osteopathy) is a gentle form of massage focusing on the spinal cord and skull. It was developed in the 1970s by an American osteopath, John Upledger, who noticed that spinal fluid made rhythmic pulsations as it traveled up the spinal column. He speculated that alterations in the pulses could be used for diagnosis and devised a system by which illnesses could be treated by subtle readjustments. Craniosacral massage is used to treat head injuries, migraines, balance disorders, hyperactivity, whiplash, ear and eye problems, fibromyalgia, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome.

USES IN ME/CFS: Craniosacral massage is employed by ME/CFS and fibromyalgia patients for temporary relief of pain.
