Dr Siff,
This is not my area of specialty, and been a physiotherapist who has only
been working with muscles for the last 7-8 months, I don't claim to know the
answers to all. As I said, I attend Aileen's course every 4-5 months, and
when I do, I will ask her these questions. I believe her area of specialty
is migrains and chronic fatigue syndrome, both of which she use Travell and
Simons to treat. I will definitely pass on these questions to her.
