Relating to the skull and the sacrum (base of the spine), often used in reference to the body's nervous system or therapeutic techniques.
From cranio- + sacral (from Latin sacrum, sacred bone). Term used in anatomy and alternative medicine to describe a body system.
Craniosacral therapy is popular in wellness circles—practitioners claim to feel rhythmic motion in the skull and sacrum, but scientific studies show unclear evidence, illustrating how 'sounding medical' doesn't guarantee scientific validity.
