A client of mine came in yesterday indicating a lot of pain in her knee. Initially she asked me to avoid that area as it was from an old injury. She’s been told that once you hurt your knee it’ll never be the same. She has also heard and been in the mindset that this is the result of getting old. When clients tell me that their pain is a result of getting old, I put a hard stop right then and there and tell them my story.
When I was in my early 20’s I had a back injury that led me to the ER. I spent years in pain until I started receiving regular massage, stretching and chiropractic care. I do not experience back pain any more because of these therapies and have not for many years. I was not old and I am about 17 years beyond when that pain started. There is no body pain that should not be attempted to fix. Yes, getting older comes with more body issues, but that does not mean they cannot be helped. Do not give up.
This client trusted me enough to let me massage, stretch and use cupping on her adductors, abductors, and lower leg muscles and this was the result. I am so grateful to be do the work that I do and to watch stories of healing unfold week after week.
