CST is now becoming widely known in the UK, and gaining a reputation of being able to safely assist babies and young children.

At the same time, it has been used to help adult cases of migraines, severe spinal damage, post-traumatic shock (such as September 11 ground zero crew), tinnitus, menstrual problems, and many types of pain and mobility problems. For a more complete list, see page 3 of this leaflet.

CST is particularly useful for personal development work. Emotional patterns sometimes remain in body tissue - and so continue to repeat even when an issue has been consciously resolved. CST is particularly good at resolving these "somatic" patterns of emotion and behaviour. Dr. John Upledger developed a specific branch of CST called "Somato-Emotional Release to deal with this important area of bodywork. This uses a combination of guided imagery, dialoguing and CST to identify and resolve emotional patterns which are associated with (and so are preventing the healing of) physical injuries.

My particular specialities include release of scar tissues (e.g. from operations, injuries and dental work) which can have a profound effect on many different, often distant parts of the body. Scar tissue stitches rarely line all of the tissue suo in their original place, and avan a slight twist or misalignment can cause a large amount of pain. This is surprisingly easy to resolve, and usually (if there are no other complicating factors) takes no more than one or two sessions, even if the scar tissue is several decades old.
