76 year old man - back ache for many years

10-November-2009

Martin was 66 when he had MRI scans of his spine. The surgeon told him that all the disc bulges, dehydrated discs, pieces of broken disc and the general awful state of his spine meant he would have to live with the pain and take pain killers. There was no hope , he was told.

Ten years later he met someone who had had fmm treatment and this person forced him to explore--he is glad he did. Whilst the fmm practitioner studied the MRI pictures he also checked the whole spine and found nothing moving and considerable muscle contracture. Within two sessions the patient was almost pain free and two more enabled him to be signed off--with some yoga postures from one of the Shanti yoga teachers in his area to help him.

The process took 6 sessions of stretching and muscle work and two months later the patient is pain free but confesses to not doing sufficient to keep it in good order!
