i normally hold a lot of chronic tension in my ribs, diaphragm, and shoulders and each of those things is like... maybe 40%ish better, it's kinda hard to quantify b/c it's not static but it all feels easier to relax via stretching eg. looking forward to 3rd appointment thursday

I read a bunch of the book page images there – so much of it raises flags for woo... but that doesn't mean it doesn't help.

It's got me thinking about other methods and modalities to try, and wondering whether craniosacral therapy offers something different.
Skilled hands can release a lot of tension and it sounds like a gentle way of doing that.
