“Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is not an incurable, hopeless mental disorder. PTSD has been shown to have physical roots. I hope you will join us in the years to come as we seek to eliminate PTSD from the trauma equation.”
Dr. John E. Upledger
In 1999, Dr Upledger and a team of craniosacral therapists led 22 Vietnam veterans in a groundbreaking study using a protocol co-designed with the West Palm Beach Veterans Administration Medical Centre. A post-program report by an independent licensed psychologist confirmed that the veterans experienced fewer symptoms by the conclusion of the program, most notably related to obsessive/compulsive behaviours, depression, lack of motivation, feelings of alienation, and total number and severity of general symptoms. More than a 95% correlation was noted between the improvements and the craniosacral therapy sessions the veterans received.
Here are some excerpts from the study:

Wrist pain during computer work often results from repetitive strain injuries and poor ergonomic setup. Correct posture, regular breaks, and suitable equipment can minimize strain and prevent conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. Persisting discomfort should be evaluated by healthcare professionals.
