Full disclosure: Shannon is a friend of mine. Something else you should know: I'm totally skeptical of this kind of thing, and *used to* consider it total woo. Ive tried it here and there in the past with meh results.
As Ive said, I know Shannon, and know that she is very intelligent and has loads of integrity, and would not have devoted the time and expense to take her life in this direction if there wasn't something to it. So, I gave it a whirl again as I found myself released from care in almost constant pain after a back injury at work. (Multiple bulging discs, and complete loss of lumbar curve that I was told may never resolve--"all we can do going forward is manage it". *sigh*)
Well, I dragged myself to Redondo on a rainy day, and let Shannon do that thing she does, after we reviewed my mri together (Im an RN, btw.) I did feel a lot better immediately after the session, but the pain lingered at a lessened level. I went about my business, kept doing my pt exercises and taking my naproxen, waiting for the pain to roar back.
Fast forward 3 days....Im at work, doing my morning med pass, and realized that I had transferred 2 hemiplegic patients from their beds to wheelchairs, bent all the way down to the floor to pick up a penlight I'd dropped, and was NOT IN PAIN!!! holy hell. Hallelujah. I'd been in 6-8/10 pain literally constantly since October. I was told I 'may never recover fully'. Here I am pain free.
Im going to keep doing my exercises and taking my naproxen, but I have hope! And some relief! Hopefully it lasts : )
Also, the space is totally inviting, parking is easy, and you can self-book online! read more
