Rehab Testimonials

Dear Howard,

This is Chester, graduate of OCM and student of MFRM. I haven't heard from you inquite some time so I wanted to write you and let you know a few items of interest.

I've used MFR quite a bit with great success! A patient of mine who has been a 'regular' for over a year broke her wrist a couple months ago (Colle's fracture). The day after she got her cast off she wanted to start treatment.

The first few sessions I did derivative friction and gentle MFR to her forearm. Her and I both decided it would be beneficial to start MFRM (something I've done on her before with great results). After about four sessions the "lnerve pain" she had been having in her wrist was 80% gone; her ROM had risen dramatically as well. Both her doctor and physical therapist are very impressed at her quick recovery.

I do have a questions I was wondering if you could help me with. I have found in most obese (and many overweight) patients, the fascia is VERY restricted and painful. In certain areas of the body it can even be felt as "clusters" or "clumps" in the pts tissue (usually around joints or areas of structural stress). What is the best way of dealing with this condition? Is this an example of "fascial restructuring"?

I'll be at the certification exam held 6/12. Thank you for teaching me!
