While fatigue is one of the initial symptoms signaling an infection, the majority of long haulers continue to experience overwhelming exhaustion long after the virus is gone. The Dysautonomia Project (TDP- a non profit group) advocates that CranioSacral Therapy/ Manual Therapy is one of the top ten non-pharmacological treatments for this disorder.

Do you know that many Covid -19 patients may develop Dysautonimia after they contract the virus

This article discusses how Dysautonomia may be lingering symptom from Covid-19

You may not realize it , but you are walking around in the world each day reading thousands of social cues in movement in your environment. In our interacting with others, we pick up different expressions, tones, bodily movement, and more.

We are constantly busy observing and interacting with the world and others as apart of the human experience. Our nervous system helps control things like heart rate, digestion, and salivation. 

66 children who met the inclusion criteria were qualifed for rehabilitation at the WW visit and completed the 3-month procedure. For the purposes of basic characterization and grouping of factors potentially effecting the results of Andrzejewska et al rehabilitation, the so-called "maternal factors" and "childfactors" were distinguished in the first place.

The following maternal factors were analysed:

– mother’s age at the time of delivery

– duration of breastfeeding, from the moment of birth until the completion of the therapy provided in completed weeks.

The following were analyzed among child-related factors:

– the APGAR score obtained in the first minute of the child’s life

– the week of gestation (gestational age) in which the child was born (Hbd)

– the sex of the child

– birth weight (BW)

– the age of the child at first eligibility visit, which was equivalent to the beginning of rehabilitation - calculated based on the months completed since birth.

Subsequently, the authors took into the type of delivery (natural vs Caesarean section) as well as the rehabilita-tion method (the Vojta method only vs the Vojta method combined with CranioSacral therapy).

  Dr. Charles is a practicing dentist and has been in the profession for over 24 years. He practices therapy for TMJ , arthritis and related stress. In 2014  who was finding out that a patient was having a difficult time with his TMJ condition. Dr. Charles felt he had to find a new way to help patients so he enrolled in Upledger Institute International, and took core classes in CranioSacral Therapy(CST).

Cranio-Sacral/Manual Therapy

Increasing relaxation and reducing stress with a light touch therapy in regions of the spinal cord associated with parasympathetic nerves.

Some evidence that heart rate variability may improve. More research is needed.

Still Point refers to gradual slowing down and eventual waning of the CranSacral  Rhythm (CSR).

 Andrew  Taylor Still, MD the father of osteopathy on whose work CST is based, described CSF as one of the highest known elements.... contained in the body. It's important to ensure good CSF flow inflow and outflow, the body has devised a regenerative, self corrective mechanism where by this rhythmic flow where it comes to a standstill. The inducer opens up the flow while laying on it for  about 20 minutes.

A central concept in CranioSacral Therapy, and at the same time controversial, is the concept of a unique rhythmic movement separate from arterial and respiratory rhythms. Palpation of the unique rhythm is central and used worldwide by a high number of therapists. A significant source of the criticism and controversy of both the existence and reported range of a unique rhythm in humans is the subjective approach to study rhythmic movements by palpation.

The aim of this study was:

1. to characterize the rhythmic movements on the head relating to the arterial, respiratory and a possible third rhythm.

2. to describe the nature of the third rhythm.

3. to define the normative range of the third rhythm in humans using an objective method.

In humans, a third rhythm separate from arterial and respiratory rhythms was observed. The third rhythm was characterized by its normative range in a population (n=50) and its dynamic range within each individual. Having developed an objective approach for studying this third rhythm might form the future basis for clinical and physiological studies of craniosacral function and dysfunction.
