Hi Suzy.

Through the way I teach Reiki, Reiki is something to be practiced as complementary medicine, which means in extreme cases of PTSD and other illnesses, it should be used in conjunction with Western Medicine.
Some forms of Reiki are taught and practiced as Alternative Medicine, which is considered to be an alternative form of medicine that can effect a cure, but that is not the method I teach. Let the doctors and scientists formulate cures, and let Reiki help the person find healing -- balance and harmony -- between their spirit and the rules of the physical world.
PTSD is a relatively new disease, and very little in the way of studies of applied energy-work (including acupuncture) have been made on account of that circumstance.
The points illustrated above are recommended as potential points that may benefit the client if Reiki Hands are applied. Each person will have different intensities of energies at each of those points (and the hundreds of others present within their energy-matrix), so for treatment purposes it is best to approach each client as a unique individual.
Your sensitivity to the spiritual energy matrix of the client may be the best means to determine the best sequence of hand treatment application.
If you do not have a level of sensitivity to spiritual energy that you are comfortable with at this time, know that if you practice regularly that you will in time discover how you sense spiritual energy, but until then and in that situation, I recommend the following:
"Someplace To Start" Application sequence:
- Back
- Heart
- Hips
- Knees
- Feet
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Hands
- Head
"Someplace To Start" Description:
- Start with the client facing down and treat their back.
- When complete, ask the client to turn over so that they are facing up.
- Begin with the heart, work downward to the feet, move to the shoulders, work down the arms, and then finish with the head.
I wish to emphasize that the sequence recommended above is only if you need guidance to begin the treatment.
You may wish to follow that sequence until you feel that it is time to modify it and apply Reiki to other areas on the clients body.
If you are experienced with energy work and sensitive to levels or intensities of energy within the clients body, then use the illustrations as a "For Your Information" guide. Scan the clients body, determine the different intensity levels of energy present in their body, compare the intensity to areas on the diagrams, and apply Reiki where your intuition guides you to apply Reiki, in the sequence your intuition guides you to apply Reiki.

Ideally, practice/apply Reiki every day.

If cures were as simple and effective of hands-on healing through practices such as Reiki, sciences would not have developed in the way that they have during the last couple hundred years. "Curing" is the job of doctors and scientists for Reiki flows through them in such a way that helps them find the scientific discoveries that lead to cures. Reiki may help a person find healing, but Reiki will not cure the person of their ailment.
