Many of my clients and students give feedback about the courses or their treatments. Some are simply verbal while others are in writing, either by letter or e-mail. I cannot supply you with proof of most of the below so you will need to take my word. I have taken extracts and edited them to give flow out of the context in which they were written. Dia's Story Dia had suffered with a scoliosis since her mid-teens at least. She was seeing a doctor who measured it at 34o and was advising surgery if it did not improve. There was indeed a large "S" shaped scoliosis when she presented for the first treatment. However, after this treatment it seemed to me to be almost straight! For 6 months she worked with a practitioner in her town and with me on my visits. Subsequently, after about 6 months, at her most recent appointment with the doctor, he measured it at 12o and said surgery would not be necessary and sent her home. Cathy (The treatments have) This has been picked up by both my yoga teacher and my yoga students! So it must be quite significant. My yoga teacher commented on my increased flexibility in that lower back area. A fellow teacher at College and yoga student - also commented on the difference in my movement. She said - and I like this comment - "It had a different quality; much more fluid." Thought you might like to know how brilliant your work is. Pauline
: Can't
say I'm doing my Spineworks exercises as regularly as I should, but even so, I
still feel the benefit of my last session with you. My back feels
generally stronger and more comfortable, and I'm more tuned-in to what it
needs/doesn't need - so am looking after it better. Obviously, I'm
really happy with the outcome - so thanks again for your brilliant work Ian. Diane Since our last treatment just before Christmas I have had NO PAIN NO PINS AND NEEDLES in my leg in fact nothing!!!!! just normality something I haven't felt for months. Thank you. If some one else had told me this story I wouldn’t believe them. When I came to you just a few months ago I felt like back pain was a permanent part of my life and now it has gone!!! In fact I’ve stopped thinking about it … Barbara I have to report that you have definitely had an influence on my C5, which no longer protrudes and isn't tender to touch anymore - very exciting, thank you! No need to remind me about the exercises; I am doing them, although I might need some remedial tuition on the kneeling/twisting one! I look forward to seeing you again Sunday week. Alison The
improvements I felt immediately after this week’s session are still the
same. I feel increasingly better after each session. The exercises you showed me
have now become part of my daily routine.
I now feel at about 97% of my former level of fitness and flexibility, so I am
almost back on my bike. That's fantastic. Angie You have given me back a quality of life I have not known for years. And a couple from other Practitioners: David (from Linda) I
have had several other therapies also conventional medicine, prescribed drugs
etc, which all served their purpose, but Spineworks I feel gave me that definite
breakthrough to recovery. ... then proceeded down the backs of my legs to the point where my real troubles were. Slight pressure was placed on my ankle by the therapist using their fingers until they came to the place that hurt more than anywhere else. Two months ago I had been given a Steroid injection at a local Hospital, that hadn’t been the very best of experiences regarding the way I had been treated. During
the Spineworks session Linda placed her fingers on the spot where the needle had
gone in when suddenly I was back in the Hospital, reliving that situation. A
great deal of trauma had been locked, unaware to me, within the ankle. It was my
body’s acknowledgement to what had happened, and it was released. I
did feel very tired after my first treatment but, after subsequent treatments, I
felt fine; relaxed and charged up. I
am now back at work and I am able to walk a distance without pain or discomfort
in my legs. Richard (from Julie) Over the last 10 years, I have received treatment for my back problems from a variety of complimentary therapies and practitioners. None, however, have been as professional or as caring as the treatment I received from Julie. During the actual ‘hands-on’ part of the treatment, Julie was a reassuring guide throughout, explaining each part of the procedure and always at pains to make me feel as comfortable as possible. As she worked, I have never felt such relief from discomfort and was able to relax totally in her safe hands. I was able to unwind fully from all the previous aches and pains I had been experiencing. |
