Case Stories: Chronic Pain

• Darlene, 52, suffered from chronic pain and fatigue caused by arthritis, liver failure, Epstein-Barr and a combination of medications. By her second BodyTalk appointment, she was nearly pain-free and menstruating for the first time in two years.

• A man with ankylosing spondylitis had suffered pain in his hips, shoulders and spine for three years. After nine BodyTalk sessions, he was pain-free and able to eliminate his pain and anti-inflammatory medications.

• A client reports: “I am 28 years old, and I have suffered chronic lower-back pain for many years. Due to my occupation, I am in and out of a car up to 10 hours a day. Getting out of the car [one day], suddenly I felt my lower back go "out." It was bad and the pain got worse and worse. My friend had just completed [BodyTalk] Module 2, so I asked him to help me. The pain became less after the treatment. Within two days, it had disappeared, and that is now six months ago.”

• It is not unusual for a BodyTalk patient to become a practitioner. A case in point is a mountain biker who had lived in constant pain for years after dislocating a hip in an accident. He reports: “I had never gone without pain for more than about five or six days ever, but I never let the pain hinder my active life style. I had my first BodyTalk treatment about two months ago, and on that day in particular I could barely walk. That night it was also bad, but I got up the next morning and my hip had never felt so solid. I went for 1-1/2 months without any pain whatsoever until I had a really hard day of mountain biking. I am now studying to be a BodyTalk practitioner. . . .”

• A 31-year-old woman who had suffered whiplash in a car accident had chronic, debilitating headaches and had found no relief from chiropractic treatments. After several sessions of BodyTalk, her headaches decreased in frequency and degree of intensity.

• A practitioner used BodyTalk with massage to address medial epicondylitis, which her client (a fellow massage therapist) had had for several months. The practitioner explained: “She often experienced the achiness either while performing a massage or afterwards. Ice, contrast therapy, self-massage and stretching all seemed to provide temporary relief. My usual protocol for epicondylitis is to alternate bouts of aggressive friction with icing, which my clients have tolerated but never enjoyed. Plus, it oftentimes requires them to return several times to achieve long-lasting results. This time I used BodyTalk with massage and got fantastic results! . . . .Two days later my client reported no signs or symptoms of pain or achiness, and almost six months later she is still symptom-free.”

• Gretchen had been suffering from pain in her left hand, her shoulders and neck. She had begun physical therapy to see if she could get any relief. After one BodyTalk treatment, her pain went away for good.

• A woman in her late 30s came to a BodyTalk practitioner with severe depression and exhaustion. She also had developed high-blood pressure, her periods had become irregular and she suffered from excruciating headaches. After eight BodyTalk sessions, her blood pressure was back to normal, she had regained the energy to exercise again and her headaches had disappeared. She also said her moods were more stable, and her periods were regular for the first time in six years. Happier and healthier than ever, she told her practitioner: "BodyTalk has changed my life!"

• A 27-year-old woman had suffered fibromyalgia for 10 years. She could not go to work when it rained as her pain was too severe. After one BodyTalk session, her practitioner reports, she was virtually pain-free. Since then, she has had another treatment and continues to enjoy great health and a pain-free existence. Says the practitioner: “She is overjoyed to have found out about BodyTalk and is spreading the word!”

• A 31-year-old mountain biker had gone into a forward loop after hitting a jump at 35 miles per hour and had landed on the ground in a sitting position, dislocating his hip. Six months after the accident, he refused his doctor’s recommendation to undergo an operation to remove bone chips to alleviate the pain. Three months after that, the bone chips had moved enough to not be a problem anymore, but the constant, excruciating pain persisted. On the day of his first BodyTalk session, which took place seven years after the initial accident, he could barely walk. Although he still had discomfort that night, the next morning he felt no pain whatsoever.

• A 23-year-old woman had had stomach pain for four months. After only one BodyTalk session, her pain stopped for good.

• A 38-year-old woman suffered from chronic low back pain. On rising the morning after just one BodyTalk session, she realized the pain she had endured for the past 10 years was gone.

• A 49-year-old woman with chronic lower back pain had difficulty getting in and out of her car. After one BodyTalk session, her pain was gone – and stayed that way.
