As promised to you from my last installment this week I have decided to share with you some of the amazing results that I have achieved in the treatment of ‘Back Pain’.
For many years treating as a Physiotherapist I had not seen these amazing results until I started to treat Back Pain in a totally different way to what I had been trained to do.
One of the ‘Back Pain’ clients I saw was a nineteen year old girl who had been referred to me by her mother ( who was a physiotherapist) for mid to low back pain. One of the first things I noticed when this girl walked into my room was that her blouse was loose and falling off her shoulder and that she seemed to be tilted ( listed) to one side.
This is the presentation of a Scoliosis. Now because of her age I was expecting to be told that she had a structural scoliosis. A structural scoliosis is one that is not expected to change due to its inability to straighten out when the person bends forward. This was indeed the case.
I observed this girls spine on getting her to bend forward and noted that the curve did not change. I was not hopeful at all that I could help her.
On my examination I felt her Soaz muscles and found they were ‘wooden’ as opposed to soft and pliable.
I did two releases only and to my amazement on the third visit with the instructions I had given her of what to do at home she stood straight and there was no curvature of her spine.
This same girl had also been given a substantial heel raise to put into her shoe on the short leg by her podiatrist. After the Soaz muscle released it allowed her leg to lengthen and she could not wear the heel raise because her legs were now even.
This case was exceptional. However, I consistently see legs ‘lengthen’ after the techniques we use. Of course this is only one case and I dont tell you this to brag but to offer an alternate perspective on how some of the conditions that the Soaz is influencing be looked at in a new light.
Until next time. Julie
To Truth In Treatment.
