I talk with Heather Wilde, a doctor of physical therapy, about why Long Covid and ME/CFS symptoms can be downstream of blocked drainage and disrupted nervous system signalling rather than a single “broken” part. We follow her plumber and electrician framework from real client stories into craniosacral therapy, inflammation, and why hope often returns when someone finally finds the true restriction.
• Heather’s hands-on manual therapy approach and why she keeps expanding her toolkit • A personal recovery story after decades of ME/CFS and what changed • The plumber mindset for fluid flow and the hidden source of symptoms • The electrician mindset for nerves, especially the vagus nerve and gut function • A case study where a neck restriction links to GI pain and hyperventilation • How covid-related inflammation can lock down the head and thorax • Lymphatic drainage, sympathetic regulation and the Perrin theory in plain language • Why breathwork and manual therapy are hard to research yet powerful in practice • What craniosacral therapy is anatomically and what “dura restrictions” mean • Touch, listening and rebuilding a healthy relationship with the body
