Tourettes is seemed as a neurological condition however it is more excessive with stress of flight and fight situations.

This is the key to the condition when using manual therapy. At the British School of Osteopathy in the children’s clinic Tourettes sufferers were treated with “cranial sacral’ techniques.

Ask this question; does the person with Tourettes feel calmer in water?

If so then the use of their “dive reflex” with manipulation is likely to get the best responses. 

I look for a “very tight” sphenoid base and if this relaxes the expression of the Tourettes immediately  changes.

 One client Jason refused to come back, because his Tourettes had got so much better he said “ I don’t want to loose my Tourette’s because that is who I am”.
