Default cranial-sacral therapy

I was diagnosed two years ago (symptoms for 3 years); have been receiving cranial-sacral treatments once every two weeks for a year and a half. So far no need for parkinson's meds and fairly minor symptoms progressing very slowly. Can't say for sure whether it's the c-s therapy, an incredibly loving spouse, CoQ10, a healthy diet, or all of the above. But I do feel the work, while subtle, is beneficial.

offered. Outcomes were documented
quantitatively using well accepted
research instruments and qualitatively
using interviews and pre-post videos of
motor functions. ..."

"...Person after person in my interviews
tell me the same thing: There is a direct
correlation between stress and their symptoms.

When their symptoms flare up, people
report they are always under more stress.
When they are able to find ways to get
relief from the stress, symptoms become
less troublesome...Craniosacral therapy is only one way
to help relieve stress. There are also
other excellent methods that help to
relieve stress, but we zeroed in on
craniosacral work as the intervention
of choice in the PEP study. .. '
"...All sources of evidence including
quantitative data and qualitative
observations showed the same
result. It is possible to find relief
from the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
Parkinsons Energy Project (PEP)
study results suggest that craniosacral
therapy can be useful in helping to
relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
These results suggest releasing
stress does make a difference.
