David, I have used craniosacral therapy with much success. It's a gentle,
very suble way of releasing the connective tissue that we all have lying
under our skin. When a trained craniosacral therapise (or physical
therapist specially trained in CS work) finds tension, tightness, etc and
releases it, you literally feel it 'melt' away. It is even possible to do
some of it on oneself once you learn to. I don't believe there are any
negative side effects to craniosacral work. However, sometimes, when one
area is being released or worked on, you might feel a temporary tightness,
even sharp pain, somewhere else. THis will almost always go away once the
therapist releases the tissue. Everything in our bodies is SO connected- She
might be working on my left temple, and I might feel a 'tug' or pull or
sharpness in my upper chest (pec). It's just fascinating stuff. When done, I
often feel much more relaxed, my whole face looks better (all the blinking
and eye squinting tightens up one's face- until you find a real release you
can't appreciate how tight you were!). Cranio sacral can release tightness
in almost any part of the body, even internally, as the connective tissue
also affects our organs. You may find you move easier, feel less stiffness
and tension, and are more relaxed. Aches and pains can melt away.....

A nice adjunct to cranio-sacral work is called myo-fascial release. Also
very powerful stuff. A therapist who does one will likely be familiar with
the other.

As for hypnosis, that can work wonders too, but is not for everyone. All
hypnosis really is is a deep state of relaxation. The claims that you become
suggestive to suggestions or input is what gives it it's power. For TS, I
would venture that deep hypnosis work with someone licensed and reputable
can help because it teaches your body and mind to deeply relax.
Self-hypnosis and deep relaxation are something anyone can do at home with
tapes and CD's. There are even some wonderful web-sites that offer short
guided relaxation/meditation sessions (3-10 minutes, etc). I highly
recommend this as well.

Good luck!

Jo
