Comment on The positive effects of Craniosacral Therapy on chronic pain by Alison

Hi there, the study was done a while ago by a physio that used craniosacral skills in her clinic. It is not widely available on the NHS and that person has since stopped working for the NHS. There are some trials being carried out in various places. I will be working in a pain clinic on that basis soon. If you are looking for treatment, let me know where you are based and I could help to refer you. alison@patternsofexperience.co.uk

For the past two years I have been trying to overcome a debilitating and painful frozen shoulder – at times it felt as though I had lost the use of my arm.

Through various complementary therapies (Thai Massage, Hot Stone, Swedish Remedial and aqua aerobic exercise) I have regained the use of my arm, but it had left me with a recurring pain in fingers 4 and 5 of my left hand – described by my Consultant as an aggravated ulnar nerve.

Conventional treatment could only advise physiotherapy, but I found that created more problems than it solved.

A close relative recommended Alison for Massage and Craniosacral Therapy. Craniosacral was a completely new experience for me and I found the treatments wonderfully relaxing and I have been known to drop off during treatments.

Alison followed a series of different holds and positions – during which I experienced lots of colour visualization and deep relaxation and over a course of 8 – 10 treatments, the ulnar nerve pain has considerably lessened to a point where I have not experienced it at all now for several weeks.

I really do feel Alison has got to the source of the problem and I would without hesitation recommend Craniosacral Therapy with Alison.

Thanks for your comment. I have read some of Deepak Chopra’s books and I did a dosha test, so I already know that I am vata dominant type. I will look into the remedies mentioned in your blog. Thank you.

Deepak Chopra orginally spoke about Ayurveda, the ancient system of health from India, his first best seller was Perfect Health and it speaks about Ayurveda.

Ayurveda has been practiced in India for 4,000 years and is really good at prevention. It is a lifestyle science that integrates herbal therapy with massage, diet and more.

Here is one place I found some great yet simple and understandable information on Ayurveda:
