Comments in the Week Following a Skills Workshop

Did some scar releases today. Immediate results. Just wanted to share!

I wanted to share some breakthroughs with a couple patients I’ve been treating. I think I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed with where to start, how to organize plus the time factor. But I realize that most patients are just grateful to be seeing someone who is trying to help them that not one has had issues with me trying different things or saying I’m not sure or talking about being new at it and fumbling my way through the base tests etc. I’ve been more nervous to needle the iliopsoas (because of location) and the abdomen but today I just went for it and it made such a difference (one was relief of back pain and one was improved shoulder abduction and less pain).
