Client Satisfaction Moment: Spontaneous email from my client: As a holistic health coach, I would always be one to seek drug-free methods whenever possible when it comes to achieving my wellness goals. After a horrific car accident in 1996, I had a bum knee. Walking was painful, on and off, over the past 17 years. But what sent me to the doctor was that, early in 2013, my knee began to lock on me. The locking was also very painful. It felt like nerves were being twisted and I couldn’t straighten or flex my knee. The locking started slowly and over a few months, became more and more frequent. When my knee was x-rayed, the orthopedist said, ‘your knee is bone on bone – your leg is beginning to bow…you need a new knee’! I wasn’t surprised when I saw the x-ray. I had left total knee replacement surgery in the fall of 2013. On my six-week post-surgical check-up, I was still in quite a bit of pain. My doctor’s physician’s assistant recommended different pain-killers. That seemed to me to be a band-aid approach. I wanted to know why I was still in so much pain. Six more weeks went by, and my pain level wasn’t diminishing. I went back to the surgeon’s office and was told ‘you have scar tissue’. Period. Nothing was suggested to cure it, but I was advised to get more aggressive with my PT program. This left me highly frustrated. I was also told “not everyone gets the optimal outcome (from this surgery).” At that point, the idea of me getting back to one of my favorite hobbies, line-dancing, sometime in the future seemed to be hopeless. The burning question, for me, was: What do you do when the resulting pain from scar tissue is worse than the pain that brought me to the surgical decision? Just when I was, unfortunately, resigned to the fact that I would be in pain and limping forever, I googled “scar tissue release” and “total knee replacement” and I found Marjorie Brook. All I can say is: On my first session, I “limped” into her office. Ninety minutes later, I walked out “limp free”. Right before my eyes, about three inches of my six-inch scar was practically undetectable after that VERY FIRST VISIT. I went back each week for about five weeks to see Marjorie for further scar tissue release and stretching exercises. I’m a different person. I just ordered a very cool pair of cowgirl boots! Thank you, Marjorie Brook, for restoring my hope of being active and flexible again! Rosanne T. Spinner, AS, CHHC, AADP Holistic Health Coach Laughter Wellness Instructor RosanneSpinner
