Miss Helfinger
One of my best friends is a massotherapist but he's no ordinary massotherapist. He's a reiki master and a 'structural integrationist', neuromuscular massotherapist and a few other wonderful descriptives of types of massotherapy. He's young, ridiculously intelligent and currently studying a particular form of adjustment that's more integrative than chiropractics. I grew up riding horses and motorcycles so my family has always been a proponent of chiropractics :). Shoot, if you find yourself near Ohio - give me a shout and we'll get you on the table with him.
So - this new study, realigns nerves, ligaments and tendons so that the skeletal structure falls in line. There are stories of people getting mobility they hadn't had for decades after serious physical trauma. I know you're out in the woods - but lemme get a few buzz words together and perhaps we can do some google searching on the nearest practitioner to you. I'm so glad you're back on line - that'll make it a lot easier to find someone!
Either way - if you could find a practitioner near you that practiced 'neuromuscular' massotherapy - they specifically work on nerves and regenerating their ability to speak to other parts of the body. My husband's relative was in town last year after an enormous accident that left him walking with a cane. He's very young and was a talented HVAC technician. Now, after the accident, he's disabled and can't do much. He went for a session with the neuromuscular practitioner here in town and after one session, he stood up and got so much cerebral spinal fluid to his brain he felt drunk. He hadn't had that amount of nutrient reach through his brain stem and into his head since the accident. He didn't walk with his cane for the next many days he stayed with us, slept throughout the night and had no pain with going to the potty. His appetite was immediately better as well. He went home to Colorado with those buzz words in his pocket to find a practitioner that did neuromuscular!
