Course Participant Feedback
Thanks again for last weekend. Here's a story for you after one treatment on Monday morning
at 8:00 am. I have been working with a patient who received full relief of left UE pain
after 4 sessions with me using your techniques. She continually complained of right knee
pain than has been on going for years and is just "arthritis". I asked her to
continue treatment with me, but for her knee pain. I have been using the release
techniques, but this was before attending the course last week. I wasn't quite aggressive
enough with the abdomen and I hadn't done the obturator membrane release before. I had
worked along the femoral and saphenous nerves in the anterior thigh. She usually had
relief of pain, but then major increases in pain for the next 3 days. So, on Monday of
this week, I gently lifted up her shirt to begin with the mid and lower abdominal quadrants, and
what do I find, but a humongous scar along the right side of her belly above her umbilicus down
to her groin. When asked the question if she had any operations at the initial eval, she
never told me of this because it occurred "so long ago". It turns out she had
extensive large intestinal surgery do fix a "twisted colon" and a second operation in
the region (she couldn't explain it). I learned a HUGE lesson. From now on, I'm going
to expose everyone's belly!! Anyways, I only treated her abdomen and obturator membrane
that day and she had the best relief of knee pain to date, and I did not even touch her knee!!
It was so cool, because as I was in the abdomen, she would report the pain and tingling into the
great toe and then it disappeared as the tissue became looser. I feel like I am doing real
and beneficial therapy, and I understand the body so much better. The other neat thing, is
her UE pain has not returned (I always wonder what happens after the patient is DC'd). She
returned to me on Friday and had a decent 3 days without a major increase in pain as has happened
previously. THANK YOU!!!!
I am so psyched.
