Mike's Method

[Guest guest]

Mike and Darlene stopped by my home in lower Michigan from July 26-28 hoping

to get their RV fixed. Unfortunately for them the logistics didn't work out

for that. But, hopefully they were able to relax a bit at my home. Mike

was able to catch a really nice bass and I think he enjoyed that. Darlene was

able to visit a new quilt shop that opened up in my town.

I have HEDS and Mike worked on me several times. I have waited a week to

post my message as I wanted to see if the results lasted more than just a short

time - they did!

I have chronic problems with my right ankle - the whole foot rolls to the

inside with the botton of my right foot facing the inside of my left leg. I

fall frequently as when I put my foot down to take a step, I have to

consciously think about putting my foot down in the " correct " position. If I

don't do

that, i wind up placing my weight on the outside of the right foot - and down

I go.

Also, I have what I call the EDS waddle walk. I have walked like that for

over 5 years. it seems like my hips have no control over what the legs do.

My legs just flair out with no control.

And my spine has been crooked for years and I stand bent to one side or the

other. Also, I am constantly getting " stabbed " by one of my ribs on my left

side.

With just a couple of sessions, Mike was able to help me tremendously. I

stand more erect and my walk is more normal. I feel like the muscles around my

back are working more which makes sense as they are keeping me standing more

erect. I have only felt the rib once or twice - when normally it would

" stab " me 10-12 times a day. He worked on my right ankle via the hip and the

knee and it does not turn to the inside as much. I have not fallen since he

left - normally I would fall down every 2-3 days.

I have been able to cut down my morphine from 3 to 2 a day - which doesn't

sound like much, but to me it makes a difference. I am by no means cured, but

my pain level has lessened and I have more confidence in moving around.

And, remember, this is with only 2 sessions.

Several people have noticed the difference and even my sister commented on

my " better " posture. I also noticed the difference when I swim - that is what

I do for aerobic exercise. I used to swim 1/2 way across the lake and back

and would have to stop several times as my toes on the right foot would

dislocate. I have been swimming everyday since they left - and my toes have

been

fine.

I am not trained in any form of massage therapy, and I certainly do not

understand how Mike's method works - but all I care about is the fact that it

does work. If you have the opportunity, please let Mike try his " stuff " on

you.

I would love to see Mike be recognized for his skills and training. If he

can write a book or teach his method to others, I think it would be very

worthwhile for thousands of us around the world.
