There is a very interesting article on the use of CST in the care of geriatric patients on the Upledger.com website. This article cites the use of complementary treatments such as CST by health professionals in the care of their elderly patients.

“Therapists report CST is effective for decreasing pain and associated use of narcotics, improving functional status, and to a lesser extent,
decreasing symptoms associated with neurological problems such as Parkinson’s and dementia. Regardless of the presenting problem, the therapists reported older adults frequently experience improved relaxation, sleep patterns and stress tolerance.”
