Hello all,

I have been using this work for close to 13 years now and have had
numerous people report the sensation of spinning while the tissues
release. One of the first questions out of my mouth is to ask if they
have ever had vertigo. Almost always the answer is yes. What I have
found in my practice is that when the tissues fully release, the
spinning sensation usually stops and the vertigo is resolved. This
seems to be true for vertigo, menieres disease and other balance
issues.

So that would be my question to you.

As to the skilled practitioner question. I have been treated by
people fresh out of CSTI who are incredibly good and people who have
been through advanced who I would be a bit more wary about seeing. The
only time "bad" seems to come into play is when ego gets involved.
When we come from the place of trying to "fix,cure, makes someone
better" we are not truly listening to their body and imposing our will
on them.

Gotta run, my 2 yr old is finally asleep and I need to clean :o)
