Self-Treatment for Chronic Injuries, Back Pain, Psoas Pain, Chronic Pain Syndrome, and Pains of Aging
If you've been getting treatment for a long time for musculo-skeletal pain -- pain that affects your movement -- and you aren't getting better,
aren't getting better fast enough, or if your condition has evaded a decisive diagnosis, you may dispair that you'll have to live that way for the rest of your life. If you've been slowed down by pain and stiffness, you may have forgotten what it feels like to feel good and move well and now hope only to reduce or manage your pain.
These programs offer you a way to recover your preferred way of life in a reasonably short period of time and at your preferred standard of movement health (or better). A specific process involved in which you actively participate, with obvious, lasting improvements at each step and a well-defined series of steps.
In other words, it's work -- but it works -- better, in most cases, than stretching and strengthening, ultrasound or electric stim; faster than acupuncture, and with more long-lasting results than massage or skeletal adjustments. It's an emerging technique that we use to overcome habitual muscular tensions and pain.
If one of these programs excites you, you'll probably stay with it and get good results. If you need help choosing, contact me and I will be glad to advise you.

Two DVDs = 147 minutes- organized into bite-size lessons that leave you feeling noticeably better each time
Bonus:The Five-Pointed Star(2 audio CD set)
This program is a "keystone" -- meaning that by freeing and balancing our center of movement, it enhances the effects of any somatic exercise done immediately thereafter. This integrated system of movement lessons (somatic exercises) awakens, frees and integrates movements from your somatic center, the origin of all human movements, outward through your extremities. Immediately increases strength, flexibility, and fluidity of movement to a surprising degree. At the end, you feel like a five-pointed star with a glow at the center. Walking is faster, easier and looser.
Side-effect: emotionally calming and centering. Those who meditate after a session of The Five-Pointed Star notice an enhanced capacity to witness mind, emotions, and body from a neutral, centered space without identifying with them..
