it's not painful, if that's what you mean. while i'm lying on my back, he puts his hands on my head in different positions, and applies gentle pressure sometimes. the only bits which can be uncomfortable are when he pulls my ears a bit but even i find it completely bearable, and i am a big baby.
the head is full of empty cavities (the sinuses) in various places and in theory they are all connected and air / fluids should be able to move freely throughout them. but if they are mis-aligned (this can happen if you bump your head, or have dental work done, or for any number of reasons, because a lot of things can shift around in there, surprisingly) then they can get blocked up leading to a feeling of pressure and heaviness in your head, or sinus headaches, or a sinus infection, or earaches, or all of these, or even other symptoms...
sometimes when he is aligning my skull i can feel a moment when i realise the pressure has been released (it's very subtle, sometimes i just feel suddenly like my head is lighter and clearer, or maybe i can breathe better, or my headache starts to go away...). in general i always feel better immediately, but depending on your state you can sometimes have an amelioration that will increase little by little over the next few hours or even day or two.
a friend of mine advised me to try this since i used to have sinus infections regularly (every time i got a cold it would invariably degenerate...) and since i started using this treatment i haven't had a single one.
i use it preventively as well, like today i had an appointment and with the schizophrenic weather i've been feeling my sinuses a bit unhappy, so i asked him to just make sure, and i feel much better.
