I wanted to let you know that you did wonders for Spencer. He’s feeling so much better. He got a gym membership, and he’s down there just loving it. He really saw a difference, and it was huge. He hasn’t had any headaches since he saw you, which is a vast improvement from where he was. You got me feeling pretty good, too, Robert; I’m feeling real spry.  So if I’m not here to answer the phone, I’m probably out there climbing the monkey bars at the park or something!

Hey, Robert, I just wanted to tell you that I feel so good today. And I really think it was because of your treatment yesterday. So anyway, I had a really crazy, crazy day. I didn’t even take lunch; I had a handful of peanuts, basically, and I’ve been going strong all day long. Then I was running around with the filing, and meeting all my deadlines; it was a really busy day for me, and I was able to get through it. And I’m feeling really, really good. So I just wanted to call and say thank you again so much. I really appreciate you, and look forward to seeing you again.

It’s just amazing how much pain we learn to live with, and we don’t realize how much it’s affecting us. And after a session with you, I am amazed at the difference. All of a sudden I’m free, I’m like floating on a cloud, I don’t have any pain at all. It’s just such an amazing feeling — it’s hard to describe — you just feel free, and it’s wonderful not to have that pain any more. And what’s interesting is that afterwards, if something new comes along, you’re more attuned to it, you notice it more right away, and you want to get that taken care of, again, before it sets up into something you have to learn to live with.

One of my clients recently had surgery to remove a cancerous growth on the skin next to her left eye. After it healed she could feel a nagging restriction when she blinked. This apparently was due to the connective tissue, or fascia, just beneath the skin bunching up. This often happens after surgery.
The surgeon must cut through the fascia to get to the site of the operation. When the fascia starts to repair itself after being cut, it often does so haphazardly causing annoying restriction and sometimes pain due to its pulling on muscles, nerves, and other structures. I could actually feel the bunched up fascia through the skin next to her eye. Using Myofascial Release techniques I gently pressed and held the skin to one side for a few minutes. After about 10 minutes she had no more pulling or restriction or discomfort when she blinked.

When I was volunteering at an integrative cancer center, I had the opportunity to work with a lady in similar fashion. She had just had lymph nodes removed under her right armpit. Post surgery, she could not move her arm without feeling restriction and some pain in that area. Through the skin I could feel the bunched up fascia. Once I felt that, I gently held the skin to one side – in the most comfortable direction for her – and after about 15 or so minutes the restriction was gone. She was happy that she would not have to live with that for the rest of her life!

When it comes to doing bodywork after surgery, simple techniques often get the job done. It’s simply a matter of knowing where and how to apply them.

1. The old pains were disappearing
2. They were not thinking so much about physical aches and pains anymore
3. They felt lighter physically and emotionally, and…
4. “I guess those pains were really nagging at me; now that they are gone I see how much they were dragging me down.”

These were all people who had suffered injuries 5, 10, 15 years ago and more, and had been living with pain for all that time.

One said that he now has better relationships with his clients. Another spent an entire day at the Del Mar Fair having a great time pain-free for the first time in years. Thank you, dear clients, for taking care of yourselves!
