This patient has had lots of treatment from other practitioners. She was unable to stand up straight due to pain. Her posture was noticeably forward flexed with no ability to extend during ROM testing. She was unable to lie on her back due to the anticipation of intense pain when getting up and had no ability to lift her buttock up off the table while supine. Her pain would gradually worsen in her back and feet as the day went on. She works as a chef. She recalled a severe car accident when she was a child which resulted in migraines and seizures. She also recalled many falls and described herself as clumsy. Instability was noted in her lumbar spine and reduced ROM in right hip. I have treated her 5 or 6 times and she can work all day without pain in her back or her feet. She can lie on her back for longer periods and can lift her hips up off the table without back pain. She has about 50% of normal extension as compared to -5 degrees before. Lots more to do, but the results so far are very encouraging!

Hi Marielle,
I’ve treated her about 7 times to date. The first visit I just did a make-shift treatment on her legs side-lying because she couldn’t lie on her back. Then her upper back. I think I did cranial base on the 3rd visit. Since then, I have done more legs, upper back, arms and pelvis. Last time she was in, I did a lot on the anterior pelvis. Interestingly(to me after this many years of practice), I haven’t touched her low back yet. 🙂
