“Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is not an incurable, hopeless mental disorder. PTSD has been shown to have physical roots. I hope you will join us in the years to come as we seek to eliminate PTSD from the trauma equation.”
Dr. John E. Upledger
In 1999, Dr Upledger and a team of craniosacral therapists led 22 Vietnam veterans in a groundbreaking study using a protocol co-designed with the West Palm Beach Veterans Administration Medical Centre. A post-program report by an independent licensed psychologist confirmed that the veterans experienced fewer symptoms by the conclusion of the program, most notably related to obsessive/compulsive behaviours, depression, lack of motivation, feelings of alienation, and total number and severity of general symptoms. More than a 95% correlation was noted between the improvements and the craniosacral therapy sessions the veterans received.
Here are some excerpts from the study:

Chiropractors recommend the Herman Miller Aeron, Steelcase Leap, and Herman Miller Embody as ergonomic chairs with ideal spinal health support. These models offer adjustable lumbar support, customizable seat depth, and correct armrest positioning, preventing back pain and promoting good posture over long sitting periods. Regular movement and adjustments also enhance the benefits of these chairs.
Workplace-friendly neck exercises such as chin-to-chest stretches, shoulder rolls, neck rotations and upper trapezius stretches can combat strain from prolonged sitting. Regular breaks, deep breathing, and maintaining good posture further help alleviate neck pain.
Desk workers who spend hours at the computer can alleviate neck strain and prevent chronic conditions through a 5-minute stretch routine and proper ergonomics.
