Do I tip for a Craniosacral Therapy Session?
“I don’t request tips because craniosacral therapy is a medical service—think of it more like seeing a chiropractor or a physical therapist. Massage therapists in spa settings who practice CST often do accept tips, since their work leans toward relaxation and customer service rather than strictly therapeutic intent. The intention and skillset differ, so tipping norms follow accordingly.”
