In this episode of The Fact Check, physiotherapists Alexis Léveillé and Diego Hidalgo take a critical and skeptical look at the origins, science and relevance of CranioSacral Therapy (CST), this branch of osteopathy which purports that we can modify and rebalance the nervous system through very gentle manipulation of the skull's sutures and surrounding musculature.
