Getting out of pain

A

As regular readers of this blog know - my focus is in helping people to find bits of Heaven - here on Earth - and ideally in or near NDG.  Early on in my relationship with my new wife - Christy - I learned of a catastrophic accident she had when a huge draft horse she was riding slipped in the mud and fell on her.  This happened in 1988 - and since that point she has suffered from severe pain - in her neck, back and legs/feet.  In mid-December she told me she would like to be seen/treated by a reflexologist and an osteopath.

In early January I did some research and found a reflexologist who seemed professional and able - and we scheduled a number of sessions with him.  Ultimately we did not continue with him - as reflexology was his sideline and we couldn't find times which suited our needs as he worked 40 hours/week at a local hospital.  I searched NDG for another reflexologist - and found the landscape to be barren - and if it was offered - it was generally at near $100/session.  In an effort to get Christy well, I learned foot reflexology and certified my skills/knowledge.  I have done this primarily to help Christy - but am extending my services out to the West End community.  RH Reflexology.

We manage Christy's pain with a number of different techniques.  Her GP has prescribed a number of analgesics which do help but which she would rather not take.  She has a Teeter Inversion Table - which helps to decompress the spine and eliminates a good deal of her pain.  I am giving her 1-2 reflexology treatments/week.  We are going to Econofitness 3 times/week - where she is focusing on strength and cardio - and where we have the platinum membership which enables free use of the massage chairs, hydromassage beds and tanning setup.  In addition she is having a hot bath of long duration every evening with Dr. Teal's Bubble Bath.

A group I had spoken with in early January - Physicentrix - has regularly messaged me about coming for a free consult.  Having just paid for a wedding in mid February of 2025 - the time was not right.  Finally Christy spoke with Misha Price, the Founder of the organization and scheduled a visit - which we are just back from.  As I said - the mission of my blog posts is to tell all my readers about little pieces of Heaven I have found - and Physicentrix is one!  From the moment Christy and I walked in we truly liked Misha and Kelsey.  We were a bit early and Misha offered us water, coffee or tea.  We spoke with Kelsey about the clinic and inside 10 minutes were sitting with both of them.  They went through a long list of questions - aiming to gauge what our needs, hopes, reservations etc were - and then followed with a very good delivery of what their specializations were and where we may be able to go with them.  Kelsey - the Osteopath - then did a brief evaluation of Christy's range of motion and level of pain.  From this we moved on to a discussion of where to go - which was for a second more in depth appointment.  Both christy and I were very impressed with everything about Misha and Kelsey - and we are very confident that they will be the ones to help to ease Christy's pain - especially in the most crucial spot - her back!  Please read the magazine attached here.

For Christy - getting out of pain would be Heaven on Earth.  We see every step of this path as Divinely ordained - and hope that this article will serve you if you or someone you know is in pain.

All my love,
