Survivor Mentality
These are my favorite people to work with!
Sometimes clients come in and tell me about their condition and they mention a long impressive list of health care providers who have not been able to help them. These are my favorite people to work with! I have gone face to face with some of the most bizarre, horrific sounding pain patterns you can imagine.
Theoretically your body followed a path to get to the state it is in. We need to walk it back up that path. I suggest skepticism of anyone who tries to tell you it can’t be done. If you have decided you will never recover, you will likely prove yourself right. People who return from severe states share the attitude that they can and will recover. They let go of the idea that someone (like myself) will swoop in and sort them out. They become the expert on their condition and people like myself become tools and resources which they use to escape.
If there is a congenital condition, bones are missing or relocated. Tissue has been reattached to wrong places, metal rods or screws. When these are in effect it is difficult to make promises but that doesn’t mean I can’t help.
I was lucky to receive an affliction which was repairable. I worked hard and I tried some things I would never recommend. I remember believing I would always be crippled.
Your condition is either completely, partially, or not at all dependent on a soft tissue element. Pain triggers muscular lockdown which loves to get involved and aggravate things. I would love to find out if your thing is something I can help. When the pain pattern is elusive sometimes you just have to get in there and see what’s going on. This is more of an art than a science. Send me an email and tell me a bit about your issue!
