🥰 Reflecting on my week of teaching numerous classes and treating numerous clients and was reading this lovely message from a client who has been coming to me for a few years now and travels quite a distance to get here.
I have truely learned more about rehabilitation & injury from this client as I have done in any trainings. It’s a lived experience here in this story rather than reading it from a text book and that in my view makes it so much more engrained in me as a therapist.
This is shared with permission so here’s a little background:
This client experienced a near fatal fall from a great height some years back. They underwent lots of surgery, months of rehabilitation & had such profound nerve damage and pain they were advised to have nerve endings burned away, which elevated some pain for a while but then it reemerged.
This client lives with daily chronic pain however they find immense relief from this particular treatment for weeks after and their sleep is much improved for sometime after. In fact they have reported to have slept for 13 hours straight after the treatment. This is a common after effect of my treatments, the deep sleep, the feelings of lightness and profound feelings of general wellbeing. All of which is a result of the body receiving much needed downtime from breath work, a 2hr relaxation, combined with lots of therapeutic touch.
When the nervous system gets a chance to do this and to regulate for a period of time the body is naturally encouraged to deeply rest when pain is elevated. This is healing for the entire system, mentally physically and emotionally.
It is not down to one thing it is a combination of the therapies used along with the oils, the breath work and techniques customised to suit the individual need.
As I read this I feel humbled by what I am able to gift someone through the teachings and trainings I have received - what an honour to be trusted to treat my clients in this way - the nervous system feels safe enough to regulate, balance and settle into deep healing rest!
I feel only gratitude for this work 🙏
