I was suffering from extreme pain in my right shoulder and upper arm. I am naturally right handed and for years I have lifted heavy pots/heavy bags of soil and have done heavy work in the garden. It was a combination of two heavy jobs last November that triggered the condition that I had. I had small tears in tendons and the two bicep muscles were also not working as they should. I could not lift my right arm above the waist if I put my arm behind my back.
The ambience of the place is wonderful. I did not tell the practitioner anything about any diagnosis since by carefully using pressure points in the neck, back and very firm massage of the muscles he was able to elicit which muscles were working, those that were not. He proceeded with very deep muscle massage and pressure and according to whether I felt pain or not, he was able to work out what was happening in the arm and shoulder muscles.. He also was able to elicit problems in my lower back.
I had virtually no pain in my shoulder when I left and it returned a little bit about five hours later. I was told that I would have pain the next day (I in fact had very little) and then I would be fine. The pain is still there but to a far lesser degree and I still cannot place my arm up behind my back on the right side.
I have to treat gardening as my gym and work in it for limited periods rather than as a marathon.
I am very pleased with the result as I think that progress has been made and should I require further treatment in the future I will come back here.
As always walking through the door is like walking into a state of relaxation. Mira is a wonderful masseur and I had the best nights sleep and felt amazing the next day. I’ll be back ASAP. Love rich therapies.
Laura is amazing. Very good at talking through everything with me, helping me understand my injury. I feel so much better than I did. Will definitely continue to use after my injury is fixed x
