Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks! Unfortunately they messed up my appointment, I was scheduled for the 21st of April!I think my doc is trained in Rehab also, my PT is pelvic only... which I am no longer doing. No results after 14 sessions :(I am looking into this as well as Botox Subject: Re: CST To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Friday, March 18, 2011, 11:57 PM  Dybowski said the following on 3/16/2011 5:10 AM: > Rick, I am having major hip problems.

If you are currently doing PT, ask him/her if they are trained in CST and if any other PT's within that organization are trained. If you are not in PT you can ask your doctor to prescribe PT for your hip. It most likely would do no good to ask your doctor if the PT he/she is referring you to is trained in CST because he/she probably doesnt know or care. If you have a physiatrist (doctor trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation), he/she will know about CST and be able to make recommendations. Also many massage therapists are now trained in CST. Then the CST will know exactly what to do. Initially it took 3 months CST 3 x week for an hour each visit to finally get relief, so do not expect a miracle the first treatment.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I did CST for about 6 months a while back (I think it was 2002- it was before my second surgery). It didn't make me worse. I don't think it really made me better either.
