A word about CST

[Guest guest]

I really think that this therapy has some merit to it. Previously I

thought it was new age, fru-fru, hippie crap. But I have crossed over.

My chiropractor recommended it, She treated her son's hematoma via

CST. I had the rare opportunity to see a practitioner that is very

renowned. She is based out of Pennsylvania and travels to Chicago and

San Diego a few times a year. I only saw her one time and now 2 weeks

later I can feel the difference when I glide my hand over the flat

spot. I treated my son with the DOC Band. We started in the

mild/moderate category and measured within normal limits at

graduation. But the right underside of his head was still flat. It was

only visible from certain angles and the exit photo study didn't

really exemplify it. I Digress *sigh*. I really recommend doing this

while banding, not just one or the other. I read someone's post two

days ago that said they only expected a 50% correction because of the

age and severity, and that made me so sad. I want to advocate this

treatment to these mothers. I am arranging to have my younger brother

flown down from Montana to San Diego to see her next time she is in

town. He was in an accident (30 foot fall) last November and suffered

a bruised spinal cord and crushed vertebrae. He is paralyzed from the

waist down with some feeling in left hamstring. Since his spinal cord

was not severed we hope to gain some functionality through CST and

Physical Therapy.

That was my soapbox rant. Thanks for listening!
