HI Rach...no....tell us more as to what she did??...I am very interested...and if it relaxed u it may help after a while....tension  and stress will make the HA worse...so it could take the edge off????

Can't wait to hear more : )

Yes, I had that done about 2 yrs ago for my CM HA from a gentleman that had been a massage therapist for atleast 30 yrs. and had been doing craniosacral theraphy for quite a while. He was also a friend of my father's.ago for my CM HA. After the appt. I told my husband "not sure what that was supposed  to do and I don't know how that could help". I could feel a little bit when he touched me but not much at all. But unfortunatly I ended up in the ER that nigt from an extreme HA and neck pain. I couldn't believe that little bit of pressure caused that much pain. Needless to say I didn't do it again.
I'm certainly not saying you will have the same expirence that I did, I just wanted to say I was suprised how my body reacted to it.

I really hope it helps you.

I've had it done before and the pressure they put on my head and neck was too much for me handle. Granted I left relaxed, but I still had the headache and it got worst as the day went on. I was in bed for 3 solid days because I could not get up.

So I was diagnosed recently with CM-I and have been developing a new treatment protocol involving very gentle chiropractic care combined with modified craniosacral work with one of my colleagues (I am a chiropractor). It is helping a ton - I never thought I could be out of pain and now I am improving beyond belief, it's just amazing. Check out this article on my blog for more info:

I did this last June. IMO dnt do it. It made me unbelieveably sick and a horrible ha. I went to three appts. Then decided it was hurting so much more then it was helping.
