PT, Reike & Light therapy

I started physical therapy and think it is going to help. I do feel that it is helping to loosen my neck muscles and get things heading back in the right direction. I will go 3 times a week for the next 3 weeks. I plan to return to work at the end of the month, so I am hopeful that this helps. I look forward to getting back to my normal life! In addition to PT I have started light therapy to help generate new/healthy cells as well as Reike(alternative healing method). The attached link is a great description of Reike. http://www.reiki.org/FAQ/WhatIsReiki.html
(Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. )

The therapist asked if I would allow them to do a case study on me and I gladly accepted. The more that people can understand about my condition the better.

I hope you are all enjoying your summer.

  1. Great news about Reiki ~ the more awareness about Chiari and how the body heals itself the better. I pray that PT helps to restore your energy and eliminate any residual pain and stiffness you might be feeling. Hugs ~ Lace
