“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:

Regular desk stretches can alleviate neck strain during work. The sequence includes lateral neck flexion, chin tucks, shoulder rolls, neck stretches, and gentle rotations. Each stretch should be held for 15-30 seconds. This can prevent chronic pain and improve neck mobility. The routine should be scheduled every hour, with each stretch lasting around 10-15 seconds. Regular practice can maintain better posture and neck health.
Regular neck stretches can alleviate "tech neck" in desk workers, by reducing muscle tension and improving blood flow. Stretching, paired with ergonomic setups, improves posture and productivity, preventing chronic neck pain and promoting overall well-being.
