Is craniosacral therapy dangerous?


Question:
Is craniosacral therapy considered evil by some people. If so, why?

Answers:
A certified, conscientious cranialsacral therapist can, truely end years of suffering in some cases, and gradually improve both acute and chronic problems in most cases that are in their range. They make relatively painless, gentle adjustments to the alignment of the sacrum, spine and skull that can be lasting. They can do wonders with TMJ, sinus pain, and other facial pain issues. They have limits, too. They normally can improve comfort for disc dammage, and long term low back pain, & assist with the best alignment/cormort possible for scoliosis and kyphosis--(both arel spinal deformation problems.)

What's evil? Many massage enthusiasts believe that only deep, and extremely painful/invasive work will give them the results they crave. Cranial sacral work is physically and energetically based theory, that is sometimes so subtle you could miss it. Some people just can't relax and allow it to happen, and they will not get the greatest benefit from the session that the therapist could have given because of that resistance.

Other Answers:
"Evil" if only because it is a procedure that has no benefits yet costs a person time, money, and may cause them to put off real medical treatments that would help them.

It isn't directly dangerous because it does nothing.
