Hi there,

I thought I'd jump in here for a moment.

I think the thing to keep in mind with regards to CST is that
lesions/restrictions could be coming from anywhere in the body. I
agree that the pelvic area can really have an impact on the face/mouth
but don't assume that. I can't find your original email to see if you
are a therapist or not but one thing we stress through all levels of
the training is to be open to anything.

As soon as we are going into "fix-it mode" like andrew says it becomes
very mechanical and not trusting of the body's inner knowledge of how
to correct things. I would agree with Andrew that a more subtle
approach should be used..like using true CST with no agenda and letting
the client lead the session.
