I'm a CST practitioner (since 1993). CST is great but Koren Technique is way better and fast to achieve results. Email me if you want more info: francine@litzfamily.com

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am the wife of Rick, LTBPI. On 6/30/2008, our lives were forever changed. Rick was in a severe auto accident and sustained multiple injuries: broken jaw and facial bones, mild traumatic brain injury, L1 fracture, 4th cranial nerve palsy and LTBPI. With regard to the LTBPI, Rick has had an ulner nerve transfer (January 2009). We are now considering next steps in his treatment, perhaps some muscle transfers. Pain continues to be the worst thing about his injury. We are told that the pain goes away within five years or people have learned to deal with it. Meanwhile, we pray....and wait.

Yes, Rick had cranial sacral therapy. Having an understand of the concept of it, I was all for it. When his therapist started doing sessions in the therapy pool, I was amazed. When he first floated in the water on his back you could see how unbalanced his body was - his bad arm weighed his body down. But, slowly, as his session continued, his body was floating evenly in the water. The heaviness left his body and some twitching took place in his fingers.

He's had surgery and just now getting back to therapy, but we're not doing CST this time around, his therapist, unfortunately, became quite a complainer, and it was not relaxing, nor effective anymore.

Kim - just read this post and if water was the venue that worked best for your husband then find a WATSU practitioner. There are many WATSU practitioners who do CST. I just emailed you about the other stuff.... I'll send you another email about WATSU.
