Craniosacral therapy Patient Views

I personally feel very stuck in fight or flight. My specialist has theorized that I have CCI which would cause the body to stay in high alert mode and be unable to fully process toxins etc.

I’m trying cranial sacral therapy now. I’ve only done one session so I can’t say if it will help long term, but I did feel significantly different afterwards. A couple of days later, I was able to listen to 2 songs and sing along. (I’m on the moderate side of severe, and can’t tolerate music the past 2 years.)

Yes, craniosacral therapy and Perrin technique have helped reduce it

Had excruciating neck and trap pain for over 2 years. Also have costochondritis. Had a few craniosacral sessions and the neck and shoulder pain mostly resolved

when I was my worst, entirely breaking down emotionally and nervous system racked, biweekly 60 min cranial sacral massage was the only thing that would reset and provide respite. it helped me keep a grip

It sounds to me like you’re in a constant state of fight/flight/freeze and everything has become overstimulated. Just my personal experience but I had a long lasting episode of what you’re describing and the only thing that helped me was craniosacral therapy. If you find a good, long qualified practitioner, it can take you out of plan an and b into a window of tolerance that’s bearable and then make that window bigger and bigger. I highly recommend it to everyone with long covid as all the viral issues aside it triggers a fear in the body that needs to be reset before any real healing can occur. Hope this helps 🙏

Congrats on the improvement and good luck with your cranial sacral therapy!

The patient does this targeted massage and like, repositioning? Slowly but surely my almost constantly spasmy left trapezius has calmed down, which would inflame my neck, ugh. My jaw would ache like I dbeen grinding but, I wasn't. The cranio sacral massage therapist would put on gloves and press the trigger point between my two back molars and that seemed to release something as well.

yes! totally has been constant. cranial sacral treatments are helping me a lot with this. i can’t do acupuncture anymore, my nervous system freaks out, it’s too much

Brain inflammation? Craniosacral therapy, Perrin technique, and low dose abilify have helped me

I have found Cranial Sacral is one treatment my body will receive and it actually started building my capacity to stay in parasympathetic nervous system state. Also just one very specific cannabis product I have found helps me (every other one I’ve tried , again puts me into that super irritable angry anxiety revved up state.
