​There is a need for practical, affordable pain relief without drugs and without surgery.

​ ​

​

The majority of people I've worked with have tried different things searching for relief. Like myself they started at their allopathic medical doctors office, then did physical therapy and massage therapy and a few other things. I lived with debilitating chronic pain for 15 years after a water skiing injury tore many muscles in the core and leg. It was after being fed up living in constant pain that I got serious about healing and enrolled in Massage Therapy and Rolfing school.

​

Many of the stories clients have shared are incredible. Most times they were offered drug treatments and surgery first. The problem with both of these is they are treating the byproduct of the problem and not the problem itself. Drug treatments including pain injections are like putting a band aid on a gaping wound. They cover up the symptoms but don't alleviate the problems themselves - meanwhile the soft tissue damage continues to worsen behind the masking of the pain. 

​

The number of failed surgeries clients have shared is alarming. It is counter-intuitive to treat Contractions, Adhesions and Nerve Impingements with surgery. Surgeries are repairing damage done from the result of Contractions, Adhesions, and Nerve Impingements. The tear is sewn up but the root cause remains.​​​

The manual therapy is a big part of BodyGnosis but is not all of it. Another key part in getting complete results that last is building awareness to how we are using our muscles. We need to strengthen our awareness muscle to learn to identify bad habits developed around the pain. There are some things I see over and over again which are common among almost everyone in pain. The results with Frozen Shoulder are particularly exciting.

Develop a treatment plan

​

First, we will discuss injury history and current pain symptoms. Then a treatment plan is discussed that will get you the fastest results possible. My goal is get people past the point of needing treatment anymore. Through the process you will develop your muscle of self-awareness and continue the healing process once you leave. With awareness new habits are developed and with new habits comes freedom from old injuries.
