I’ve just started massage therapy, and I’m very encouraged by the marked reduction in pain already…BUT it’s still early days, I’ll let you know if it’s consistent…

Put in the search box above,

Reiki ( Had 3 incredible sessions, not a cure, but like a massage that gives your body a break from pain)

and

Lidocaine (I've typed this word in here for people, hundreds of times since 2011!)

Read/ask/repeat! Have you read "Striking Back" by Dr. Ken Casey...... Its the encyclopedia of TN !
