I have been seeing a client that was in an auto accident over a year ago. How she came to me was interesting.
One doctor suggested (even though he was not supposed to) that she get some Reiki. She definitely liked the session, but felt that massage was more of what she needed. She talked to her insurance company to see if they would pay me instead of the chiropractor that she was seeing. You see, to walk into the chiropractor’s office, get her neck popped, and have a massage therapist do spot work for 20 minutes cost the insurance company $290. Figuring that it would cost them less (especially since she has a limited pool of money), that she might do better to see me.
And it seems I am being more effective than what she was getting. I am doing mostly fascial (connective tissue) work. That has to be something most people don’t think of. For the bones to stay where the chiropractor moves them to, the fascia has to be loose enough for that to happen. But being loose, the bones could move back by themselves. The same goes for muscles. If the muscles are stretched, the fascia has to be loose so they don’t get pulled back to where they were.
I am also doing energy work which is helping. Part of any injury is mental, thus energy. Getting holistic healing is what is helping her when conventional stuff was not.
But one thing that got me was that she had asked the massage therapist at the chiropractor’s office about me. She was told that they hear good and bad things about all massage therapists, but about me, it is all good. They have not heard anything bad at all. Well, I would hope not, but it is still cool.
