Aim. Craniosacral Therapy is a method of manual, non-invasive, very gentle therapy used to evaluate and treat the Craniosacral system, which consists of membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord. The therapist uses a light touch of 5 g, with which he releases the restrictions in the Craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, causing relaxation at both the somatic and mental levels. The purpose for which this study was conducted lies in the desire to establish whether the effects obtained by the therapeutic program consisting of kinesiotherapy and Craniosacral Therapy are more effective than those formed by kinesiotherapy and therapeutic massage applied to the subjects taken in this study and if these results are maintained 3 months after the end of treatment. Methods. From a group of 30 patients, 15 patients with neck pain were randomly chosen to receive a Craniosacral therapy intervention for 4 weeks. We have used evaluation methods to determine the effectiveness of our programs and the survey method by applying the Quality of Life Assessment questionnaire. Results. Statistical analyses have shown that there are significant differences between the pre- and post-test between the experimental and control groups. Conclusions. In our study, the combination of craniosacral therapy with physical therapy resulted in improved quality of life in patients with neck pain. These results need to be considered by therapists to better understand and involve this concept for beneficial effects in treating patients with cervical pain arising from various causes.
