A member asked:

Is there any evidence for success with craniosacral therapy with emotional eating or any other eating disorders?

Unclear: As with most manipulation techniques, it is difficult to do the scientific studies to prove if it works or doesn't work. Having studied craniosacral technique in osteopathic medical school, i heard many anecdotal stories of its benefit. The risks of the treatment are low if the person preforming it is adequately trained. It may be worth a try.

No...: Emotional eating and eating disorders are attempts to resolve internal conflicts or issues with a behavior. The problem is not in one's brain; it is in one's MIND. Emotional eating and eating disorders are ways of coping with untenable emotions and thoughts; the way to address any form of disordered eating is to identify and process what's eating "at" you, not focusing on what you're eating.
