Craniosacral Rhythm
0.15 Hz
A rhythm that craniosacral therapists say they can feel. When tested, examiners did not agree on it.
How well is this supported?
A claim that has not been established. Evidence is missing, weak, or limited to small studies.
This number is here because people make claims about it. The entry says what is claimed and what has been tested. It is not advice about health.
This is too slow or too fast to hear, so the button plays it moved by whole octaves. Start with the volume low.
About this number
A rhythm of 6 to 12 cycles a minute that craniosacral therapists say they can feel in the skull and spine. When examiners were tested without knowing each other’s readings, they did not agree on its rate. A 2016 systematic review found no reliable evidence that it exists as a distinct rhythm.
