My physical therapist is licensed in doing manipulations. It was wonderful! But you need to be very careful with someone moving your spine and neck around with a TBI. One wrong move can leave you feeling awful for weeks.
Mine came highly recommended by a variety of other practitioners I was seeing, so I gave it a shot. He knew what he was doing, so it was beneficial.
Maybe see if the person you are looking at has references from other TBI patients?
