CranioSacral Therapy - Arthritis/Reflux/PTSD

Joanne Haymore OTR/L, CMT, CST-T describes patient's history, symptoms, evaluation, and results.

A case study of a 66 y.o. male with jaw pain and crepitation with jaw motion and a feeling of "fluid" in the ear. He most significantly had a reduction in his ability to hear as documented in a recent hearing test. He had a long standing history of hearing loss, but this recent diagnostic was demonstrably worse. Symptoms resolved with neural manipulation treatment. 

CranioSacral rhythm, which is separate from the breathing rhythm, separate from the heart rate. And that rhythm is the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the craniosacral system,” says Dagman. Encompassing various membranes and soft tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and the bony structures of the spine, cranial bones and sacrum, the craniosacral system is the primary system in our body that encases and protects the central nervous system—whose function is vital to our overall health.

Dagman was born in Siberia, where, if a healer was called to a rich household and a poor one simultaneously, the healer would attend to the poorer one first. With that ethos, she often shares her gift for healing pro-bono.
