CST & Autism/ADD/Asperger's

[bagosav]

I'm not certified in CST at all and had the owner of the dog grooming shop next door to the salon I work at asking me about CST.

Her youngest son Austin is ADD with signs of Autism or Asperger's - I'm not sure which (because I don't talk much to the mother or the child.) and a few months back at a doctor's appointment the physician mentioned that his face was out of alignment and that could be a big clue as to why he was ADD and having austim like problems. (I'm surprised the doctor even picked up on this, considering that doctors out in our area act like they're gods and that only drugs will fix anything.)

The doctor suggested that she take her son to a therapist who specializes in CST, saying that the therapist might be able to help realign his facial bones and relieve some of the problems her son had been having.

So, the mother gave it a shot and she was surprised at how fast it worked. At just a few sessions in, the facial bones have started to realign themselves and his face is no longer out of alignment. The behavior problems have also calmed down considerably too! The mother was surprised by how fast the results were for so subtle a work.

The mother came back to me and wanted to know if I could do the same work and I had to explain to her that it was totally out of my scope of practice. My advanced training is in the opposite direction - Thai Massage.
