I am glad we met at the Forum and appreciate all you did for me.  I continue to improve and the soreness from my surgery has really improved recently!

On May 21, 2002, I fell on the stairs in my home hitting the corner of a table with my left lower back.  Although the pain was excruciating, a quick assessment of what was still working assured me that I hadn’t broken or permanently damaged anything.  Advil and ice got me through the night.  I was sent home from work the next morning because I could not stand straight and was obviously in a great deal of pain.

I had been seeing Rhonda Gerych for massage therapy/Ortho-Bionomy for almost a year and had an appointment scheduled for May 22.  Even though just getting there was difficult, I decided I didn’t want to miss my appointment, but I wasn’t sure that I wanted her to work on my back since it hurt so much.  She took one look at me and asked what I had done, how I felt, what I had done to relieve the pain, and asked could she work on it.  Trusting her completely, I said yes.  That was the best thing I could have done. With her soothing, healing touch I was able to stand straight again, and the muscle spasm pain was completely gone.  I went back a couple of times over the next 10 days and she was able to aid in the healing process.  I had bruised very badly but the pain was almost non-existent.

I am so grateful for Rhonda and her unique talent.  Conventional care would have been drugs and bed rest.  With her gift, I was able to continue with all the things I normally do.
