When I was about 22 years old , I had intense back pain and was diagnosed to have a severe sciatic syndrome. At times my entire leg was numb , from hip to toes. There was no feeling in that leg and it could last a few hours , with sometimes unbearable pain. Several specialists that I consulted could only offer me injections or massage therapy. I chose massage. This was the start of a journey that hasn’t come to an end yet. To gather insights in the working of the body and methods to prevent and improve physical ailments like the one I have experienced. A combination of Massage Therapy , Acupuncture , Shiatsu/Acupressure and Yoga helped me to overcome this condition and has helped me to become more aware of my body. This experience planted the desire to help others to mitigate and maybe overcome similar ailments and share my knowledge , being a Massage Therapist.
