Chronic Pain

Neck: 45 year old client had a classic head forward posture that had over time resulted in a hump of hardened tissue over the spine at the base of the neck. They complained of chronic neck pain and stiffness. Sessions initially focused on posture and releasing long held muscle tension using Myofascial Bodywork. The intent was to move the head back over the torso and to reengage the supporting musculature. The hump of hardened tissue was also consistently worked on the break it up. After seven hours of Myofascial Bodywork there was substancial improvement and after this the sessions included more postural retraining. After seven more hours the neck issues and hump of hardened tissue had pretty much dissolved.

Hammertoe: Long standing hammertoe issue much improved after 5 hours of Myofascial Bodywork and Specialized Kinesiology.

Carpal Tunnel: Client presented with severe pain in the right wrist. Assessment found that the muscles that extend the hand at the wrist had a great deal of hardened connective tissue that had developed a ropey feel and that actively prevented the hand from closing all of the way. We did 3 sessions spaced a week apart of 20 minutes of deep tissue bodywork on the forearm followed by 10 minutes of reactive muscle reset to restore the balance of the extensors and flexors of the hand. By the third session the pain had greatly diminished and the grip was nearly normal

Arthritis

55 year old client presented with chronic joint pain in the ankle and wrists. This had been diagnosed as Rheumatoid Arthritis and the joints were gradually getting more painful, with less mobility and strength. Client was on steroids for the inflammation and pain, but they were effective only at a high dosage. Examination found that imbalance was not restricted to the joints in the hands and feet and that there were many things that structural bodywork and specialized kinesiology could address, including an emotional aspect regarding flexibility and standing on your own feet. Weekly sessions over a couple of months improved overall strength and vigor, as well as greatly reducing the pain and inflammation in the hands and feet to the point where steriod usage was minimized or eliminated on some days. Sessions are now being scheduled 14 - 21 days apart.
