Trading Bad Knee for a New Life

Susie lives in New Jersey, and was referred to me by a colleague. She had a bone against bone condition in her knee (the cartilage had worn away) which surgery had not been able to help. (While she is mobile, since walking is painful, she finds it more convenient to use her wheelchair at work). I began to work with her over the phone. The day after her first session, she got out of her wheelchair. She was surprised that she was able to do this without pain. But she overdid it, and the pain came back.

She continued to improve as I worked with her over the phone for another 7 sessions. For the eigth session, we met face to face. I recommended that she also go to a local physician who had helped her in the past with certain injections. At the end of the eighth session, she said to me, “I came to you with a bad knee, and you gave me a new life.”

After her ninth session, she said that it was if her bone-on-bone condition had never existed. I spoke with her months later and she was still doing well.
