i had the first session of cranial sacral treatment with an osteo today. beforehand i was concerned, as usual with anything new, whether it would increase dp/dr.
when asked symptoms i didnt mention dp (as most people dont get it) and instead mentioned anxiety, depression and head pressure(atmospheric type pressure).
she first of all checked out my body and noticed a base of the spine injury(i got falling out of a tree onto concrete years ago) and a badly sprained ankle i'd done when living in greece about 14 years ago.
anyway she didnt start work on my head which i had expected but on the back injury as she said thats where she felt the initial block was.
she basically didnt seem to be doing very much- put her hands under my back and 'listened' to my bodies natural 'breathing'(not as in lung breathing).
she used her fingertips to lightly help my body recover. she said the body will continue to right itself over the next couple of days and that working at the blocked part in the back will affect my whole body system.
anyway i came out feeling calm, 'together' and positive. i had no adverse reactions other than one small dr flash during the treatment which i probably would have had anyway.
i'm going back in a fortnight to continue treatment. i'm optimistic about this.
