KST A to Z
Water phobia
Lynn Buckler, D.C.

Since birth, an eight-year-old boy would not put his face under water or even take a shower because he could not tolerate water on his face. It was such a problem that his mother had to wash his hair in the sink, so water would not splash on his face.
I had him think about diving into a pool and then corrected his sphenoids, occiput, and C1.
The very next swimming lesson, he had no problem and dove right into the deep end of the pool, as well. He now freely takes showers and washes his face in the water with no problem.
