"Jc isn't afraid to get into the core problem areas. Massage makes it possible for me to do my construction job and helps me learn how to relax. Due to my biweekly visits for the last 4 years with Jc, I no longer live with chronic neck and lower back pain."
- Jennifer, Woodworker & Business Owner, Falcon Heights

CLIENT EXPERIENCES:
Meet Dave... Hockey, a car accident, a physically intense day job--add in some seriously heavy lifting recently, and though Dave stays very active and fit, his neck went out; he couldn't move it for a week. Since then he had some headaches and was taking more over-the-counter meds to keep the daily pain way.
Dave's right shoulder muscles were stuck, causing him to overuse his left side (see above photo on the left--Dave's right shoulder was pushed down--his head/ear also pulled to right).
Dave's realignment took just two 90-minute treatments.
" I'm feeling good. No neck and back pain. I was only a little stiff the next day after our last session. But I've had no headaches, and my back and neck feel good. And I'm able to do a lot more about the shop [where he works] more comfortably."

Meet "Carla" …Before/After" Detox results:
- Anxiety (After: "Much less")
- Cellulite on fronts of upper legs (After: "Significantly less")
- Fingernail weakness (After: "Nails are strong!")
- Digestion (before: 1 bowel movement/day; after: 2/day)
- Inflammation: Fingers/joints; legs tender to touch before (After: "No tenderness or soreness now")
- Eyesight decrease: Needed readers (After: "a definite improvement!")
- Greying hair (see above left-side "before" photo; grey hair decreased during treatments; it continues to darken since.
"I can't believe the difference...Even to me it was surprising to see the difference--the knuckle changes and the entire body inflammation difference. I'm wearing rings I haven't worn in a year!"

Meet "Rhonda"...
Meet "Rhonda"...
When "Rhonda" came to me via her friend's referral, she was looking for help with extreme neck pain (due to multiple car accidents). She was severely depressed due to her constant pain, and didn't know what to do.
"Rhonda" was diligent about keeping her appointments,
and her neck pain subsided
completely within 3 months.
No longer having the chronic neck pain allowed us to work with "Rhonda" on digestive distress she'd been dealing with for the last 2 years. Frequent cramping and near-daily diarrhea plagued her. And though she loved popcorn, Chinese food, and the occasional good steak---indulging in these brought such
painful cramping and inevitable diarrhea
that she avoided them completely.
She committed to the weekly DBS treatment sessions for 2 months; by the end of Month 2, she was able to eat ALL her favorite foods, and the regular cramping and diarrhea
were completely gone.
[Photo: '"Rhonda"'s previously grey hair--which perfectly matched her hair extension on the right--had lost all the grey and became its original blond again after treatments.] :)
Meet "Lynn"...
"Lynn" came in looking for help with left shoulder/neck pain after taking a fall weeks earlier. "Lynn" is your average hard-working exec who devotes many hours of her work day at her computer.
And anyone who works with/at a computer for most of their day knows the toll it takes on the neck and shoulders!
*************************************************************************
The far-left "Before" photo shows extreme forward neck flexion--this is a common side effect of lots of computer work (our ergonomic/good posture gets traded for leaning in to see better since extended computer viewing can fatigue our eyes), and beginning Dowager's hump-like rounding of upper back.
The above-left "Before" photo shows a raised/stuck left shoulder that was probably a result of her recent fall.
The above-right "After" photo (showing "Lynn"'s shoulders and upper back greatly improved).
These results were achieved after 2 treatment sessions.

Meet "Charlene"...
Meet "Charlene"...
What "Charlene" thought of her pre-wedding DBS treatments
(Her last treatment? The day before her wedding, and I've never seen a calmer bride :) ….
"I'm very glad I did it. It was something I had beneficial symptoms relief/results from, but it was also a time for me to take for myself, which I scheduled ahead of time knowing how busy I would be where I could take an hour or so for myself.
Definitely glad I did it around the wedding. It's had a good outcome leading up to it with symptoms going away with each session: My hair is better, and I have better bowel movements and feel less gassiness. And I'm sure I didn't get sick this winter because of it, not to mention it kept my periods regular--which can go off cycle with stress--and I didn't have ANY cold sores---which was AMAZING." (It was important to "Charlene" to be cold-sore free on her wedding day--and it worked! She looked gorgeous and could focus on having fun. 😊)
So, I would definitely suggest it to another bride."

Meet "Brock"...
Meet "Brock"...
"Brock" is a hardworking computer guy, husband, father and dog owner who spent decades dealing with various chronic pain---including anxiety-induced migraines and neck/shoulder/back/hip pain, among other things. But "Brock" got some amazing results, and after just 5 weeks of Detox-Bodywork Series (DBS) treatments, he'll tell you he's feeling much better---in 21 WAYS!
1, SHOULDER TENSION (which used to be constant) IS GONE.
2, He used to suffer from ANXIETY--INDUCED MIGRAINES WEEKLY or more.
After DBS, he HASN'T HAD ANY IN WEEKS.
3, 4 & 5, He DISCONTINUED 3 MEDICATIONS: Effexor (nerve pain/migraine medication and antidepressant); Synvastatin (statin for high LDL; he is opting to lower it naturally);
and over-the-counter (OTC) meds for fall/ragweed allergies.
6, ACNE SCARS on face have IMPROVED.
7, BODY ODOR is LESS STRONG.
8, Chronic COLD HANDS AND FEET in winter are MUCH LESS COLD.
9, His energy level was low. Now says “I feel more energized.”
10, FOOT ODOR has DISAPPEARED.
11, HAIR COLOR that was mostly grey is GETTING DARKER AGAIN.
12, CONSTANT HIP PAIN before. Now Brock says he had NO MORE hip pain.
13, CHRONIC FLATULENCE/GASSINESS (commonly caused by meds) GONE.
14, His RIGHT KNEE WOULD CRACK REGULARLY NOW CAN'T EVEN CRACK IT--EVEN IF HE TRIES.
15, LOW BACK PAIN ALL-DAY PAIN before, has now GONE AWAY.
16, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION (was on pharmaceutical Effexor) MUCH BETTER.
"I feel well. For a while there with my anger, I was worried about that.”
17, DAILY “MORNING BACK" (low back pain when waking) IS GONE.
18, CHRONIC NECK PAIN ("had for at least 10 years") IS GONE.
19, SKIN ISSUES (flushed skin tone & oily skin) HAVE DECREASED.
20, Used to take IBUPROFEN/OTCs (for pain)--DOESN'T NEED THEM NOW.
21. NIGHTLY SLEEP DISTURBANCE (he used to wake 3-5x/EVERY night with insomnia, staying awake 5-10 minutes each time. Brock was never able to get a good night's sleep, and never felt rested in the morning). NOW IF HE WAKES TO EMPTY HIS BLADDER, HE CAN GO BACK TO SLEEP EASILY. "BROCK" SAYS HE FINALLY FEELS RESTED IN THE MORNING. :))
[The DBS?] "It's awesome--worth doing. The headaches [are the improvement he’s happiest with] and being off the medication. Maybe the headaches [now the lack of them] because I've had a long struggle with them -- since I was 12 or 13 years old [for 25 years]."

Congratulations to John for finishing

Ultimate Mountain Bike Race"!

"The muddiest, wettest, and coldest yet of my 7 years doing this race and I am feeling good today. My knee felt good for most of the 69 miles, Some discomfort at times, but it did not slow me down. Today, quite a bit of swelling but not sore. I think I can get it back to normal in a couple of days. One thing is absolutely for sure, I could not have done this race without your services. I think back to where I was when I first saw you and there was no way I could have done a 69 mile mountain bike race. Thank you!!!!
By the way, I had a good time in spite of the conditions.
..................................................
(Weeks after John's race--biking and still improving...)
"JC,
While on my 40 mile ride Saturday afternoon, I thought about how grateful I am to have found you. Thursday I rode 40 miles, Friday I rode 20, and Saturday I rode 40. These are not easy rides. I averaged 17 miles per hour and did a lot of hills.
This morning, NO swelling in my knee. For the last two years, my knee has been swollen after one easy ride. Now I am riding multiple days with no swelling or pain.
It is hard to put into words how much this means to me. My bike is my church, my meditation, my solace from a stressful job, and now, after two years of struggle, I can ride again.
All this progress does not mean I am slowing down on my routine. Foam rolling, tennis balls in the tube sock, stretching, and all of the other good strategies you have taught me will be part of my life.
THANK YOU!!!!
John"
