We worked on: her gut, diaphragm, sacrum, vagus nerve and cranium.

    Fascinating! And totally what we’ve been seeing…

    Posted by Lisa Klein

    We’ve been saying this for awhile; with so many of our patients who have kicked into a neurological presentation (MS, Parkinson’s, dystonia, etc.) there is a head trauma history.

The cranial mechanics are super important and everything ...READ MORE »
