+ What kind of conditions don't respond to cranio
sacral therapy? How often do you see people? - July 07
Hi John,
Just been checking out your website. I am a RCST having trained with Paul
Vick. I live in Perth WA. I have had a practise for 3 years now.
I was interested in
1. The information that people would give to you, to make you decide that
you wouldn't be able to help them with cst - this has always been a tricky
one for me?
2. You talk about clients coming to see you for so many weeks- how often
would someone see you in that period? weekly, fortnightly ?
3. I was also wondering if it would be
possible to get my details added to your website ?
Thanks for the time you took in reading this
Regards
S.M.

>>>MY COMMENTS:
1. Who I would, or wouldn't, treat?
As a general rule - If someone thought I could help them and wanted to
have treatment with me, I would see them.
Having said that, I would explain to them how much I thought they were
asking of their body.
So if someone was blind from birth and wanted to see again, well that
obviously is a big ask.
I have found that if someone is in the middle of fighting
off an infection it is better to wait until they have recovered so they
can have more resources to deal with the underlying cause of their illness.
Yes, Cranio sacral is good for breaking fevers and
helping to get over infections generally, what I am talking about are
the more virulent infections like meningitis.
There is also the logistics of treating someone in
the middle of an infection which would depend on whether you do house
calls or not.
I have found certain kinds of nerve damage unresponsive
to treatment. For example damage to the auditory nerve itself or a 20year
old spinal
cord break.
I have found genetic conditions don't respond very
well either.
2. How often do I see people?
I find seeing people weekly works best. I would only see them more often
if their system was very stuck in a pattern and they had a very short
relief from their symptoms after treatment, like a couple of hours but
this, more intensive treatment, would only last for a couple of weeks
at most.
3. How do you get listed on my site?
It couldn't be simpler. I send you an email. You fill in the blanks and
send it back to me.
