Somewhat related to this topic: doing 10 sessions of intensive rolfing therapy years ago not only helped correct some musculoskeletal issues I had; it also coincided with a significant dropoff in recurring Iraq-related dreams (I had previously served in OIF).

Most of my musculoskeletal stuff was directly attributable to carrying 100+ lbs of kit up and down the street, up and down stairs, and over 2-meter walls, 4-12 hours a day.

Maybe there's no correlation and it was just a placebo-type thing and/or my mind playing tricks on me, but I'm inclined to think that the improvement in longstanding tissue-related issues that were caused by deploying also ameliorated some of the psychological residue of that experience.

I had never heard of this.

“There is no evidence Rolfing is effective for the treatment of any health condition”

Now I want to do a comparative study between that and joke-induced ROFLing. Then, a follow-up study on the gluteal benefits of ROFLMAOing.

It worked in my case.
