According to Fletcher (who discovered the therapy), " Conditions this therapy has helped include: Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, spinal cord injury, short term memory loss, heart conditions, blood pressure, respiratory problems, psoriasis, thrombosis, varicose veins, oedema, optic nerve damage, bladder infections, scoliosis of the spine, leg ulcer, gangrene, even completely restoring sight in supposedly irreversible optic nerve damage caused through long term progressive ms. " I use it for back pain associated with multiple sclerosis, and to improve circulation due to my vascular stenosis (CCSVI). I haven't really benefited from using it, but my husband has less severe sleep apnea.
