I just wanted to add a bit more about Cranio-Sacral therapy offered by osteopaths. It may be considered "alternative" type of medicine so it can be hard for some people to appreciate since it is different from the evidence based medicine we are used to. For example they talk a lot about feeling "energies".

I had my first appointment with one on Friday. She was very thorough on explaining everything. She did say it once was common knowledge in Western medicine that the bones of the skull fused once you hit mid-20s. But now, there actually is a lot of evidence out there supporting that cranial bones do have movement.

The idea of the therapy is to encourage the regular cranio-sacral rhythms of cerebrospinal fluid to improve healing. I was definitely apprehensive of the whole idea at first, and still am to be honest. I have heard some people have had positive results with it and since I am lucky enough to have insurance coverage for this therapy; I figured it was worth giving a shot. I am willing to try anything that may help at this point.

After the first session I can say it was relaxing and certainly didn't hurt; but hard to say if it will lead to improvements for me. I can certainly keep you updated on how the treatments are going.
