Maryanne D., Alaska

I was in a wheelchair for 18 months. I was hardly mobile and couldn’t put any weight on my leg. I couldn’t lay on my back or stomach or sit up. I had little to no sleep. After the first treatment, I went home for a month and was walking and leaning on my wheelchair. That’s when I decided I had to make a commitment. If this is what Counterstrain can do for me in a short period of time, I better see how much further I could go. I felt that chronic pain was going to be part of my life forever. I thought that was going to be my demise. Counterstrain has demonstrated to me that living with severe chronic pain is not necessary. I can now do Tai-Chi and think nothing of balancing on one foot. Now, I can walk a half hour or hour or more a day. Swimming, I can do that. I went sledding for the first time in 50 years. I want to thank you for giving me back my life.
