“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:

From our clinical experience, Craniosacral Therapy has been effective in calming a hyperaroused nervous system, especially in individuals suffering from PTSD, anxiety and depression. Our physio at Hyper Health has undertaken training with the Upledger Institute.

Office workers can relieve neck pain with simple interventions like neck stretches, shoulder rolls, and seated torso twists. Adjusting monitor height and chair position can prevent strain, breathing exercises can reduce tension, and taking breaks can support long-term neck health. Regular stretching and physical activity can maintain posture and alleviate neck and back pain. Creating an ergonomic workspace, using posture correction techniques, and employing various relaxation methods can also help. Strengthening neck, back, and core muscles, in conjunction with physiotherapy, provides additional support.
Executives can manage neck pain through a combination of diagnosis, targeted treatments, workplace adjustments, and preventive strategies. This may involve ergonomic changes, like standing desks and proper screen alignment, scheduled breaks with stretching, as well as advanced treatment protocols such as epidural injections. Training on posture and ergonomics has lessened neck complaints by 25%, suggesting a need for workplace wellness strategies.
A neck alignment session involves assessing patients' neck mobility and posture, determining pain points, making targeted adjustments, suggesting quick-relief exercises and providing post-care instructions. The holistic approach taken in these sessions includes continuous monitoring and follow-up visits to ensure optimal spinal alignment and long-term neck health.
