My story

When I was thirteen, I fell of my bike, I was a crumpled mess and I couldn’t move without pain. Twenty years later i still have the back pain from that day.

I was whisked to hospital, X-rays, physio, bed rest, pain killers, nothing worked, even after many return visits to the doctors and referrals to specialist and hospital visits.

Each time, whatever the test, the outcome was “there is nothing wrong with you!”.

Everyday was the same, my back ached with pain, my legs burned when I sat too long, I had disturbed sleep as the pain work me up when I turned over. Tasks during the day where a battle of willpower over pain.

Over time I’d taken things into my own hands and tried massage, chiropractic sessions, yoga, acupuncture. Some helped for awhile, but nothing lasted.

A friend told me about John.

She said he worked differently, something called the Art of Empathic Somatics, she also said she was sceptical until after the first session, somehow her pain vanished, John didn’t appear to do very much, he talked about posture and balance. There was a sense of calm and when he used his hands to move my joints there was a complete sense of calm throughout my body. The strange thing is that I had to go and hunt for my pain, it wasn’t there, it had gone. After the 5 sessions I had learnt how to do what John showed me during the first session.

I decided to see John, It was exactly what my friend told me, the work was surprisingly gentle, John seemed to know how far to move me, stopping before any pain, we talked about that point of pain and miraculously the pain disappeared.

After the first session I’d never felt so free and at ease, oh and pain free. Plus the bonus of having my first of many good night sleeps.

The next four session, were similar to the first however a lot deeper, exploring more about physical movement, body mapping and how the nervous works. Knowing this really helps me to be pain free.

It’s now months later, I can honestly say I’m free of pain. I walk with ease and grace, stand with ease, sleep soundly, I’ve rediscovered the joy of moving without fear.

My confidence is booming, oh and the baby i was told would never happen is on its way.

John didn’t just sort my back out, John changed my life, John taught me how to reconnect to my body, mind and soul so I could reclaim my life.

If you are ever told there is nothing they can do, and deep down you know differently don’t give up. Your pain maybe not your muscles and spine, it is your thoughts and beliefs.

For me the change began the moment I met John.
