The power of myofascial release..
One of my lovely clients has shared her experience on her page and has agreed it can be shared here:
I’ve been suffering from excruciating nerve pain in my back and shoulder for around a year now. Anyone who has experienced long term pain will understand how much it impacts on your life and eventually starts to wear you down. Rushing home from work to lie with a hot water bottle on my back has become the main focus of my day. I’ve had no patience, no energy and no desire to do anything other than lie flat in a dark room. Literally.
My husband Les, has become an expert at rubbing my back at work, a necessary practice to get me through the working day. I won’t mention the funny looks from staff when I take my top off and we disappear in the store room for a minute with the DMSO and Magnesium Oil 😂
I’ve seen numerous massage therapists and physios, tried various exercises, remedies and spent a small fortune on trying to find some permanent relief but to no avail.
Recently I’ve been researching myo fascia release treatment and found Joanne, The Sunday Therapist, who came highly recommended. I made an appointment and really wasn’t sure what to expect.
The minute I met Joanne she put me at ease, she examined me and explained how myo fascia works and how she was going to treat me. The pain I had felt up to that point was so bad that I was beyond caring what she was going to do. I just wanted it to stop.
She laid her hands on my back and that was it. No massage, no rubbing, no prodding and poking. She simply placed her hands on me, sank in to my back and waited… Imagine holding a pose in Yin Yoga for ten minutes, that’s the best way I can think of to describe it.
The relief wasn’t immediate but there was definitely some shifting going on. Stomach gurgling, mild headaches and some deferred muscle pain for a couple of days after treatment. Each session brought out a different reaction and Joanne worked her way patiently and thoroughly around my body.
Fast forward to today. I had my fifth treatment yesterday and have been pain free for two whole weeks. It’s a miracle and Joanne is a magician. I urge anyone who is suffering from chronic pain to try myo fascia release. It has quite literally blown my mind. Thank you The Sunday Therapist
