thx beverly
for the info. I will post info if i go to this masage person. Did you feel he knew the Hesch method well?
About PTs in NY I saw amy stein at Beyond Basics last year for several months.
A few years back i also went to beyond basics but saw another PT.
Amy, the owner is much better. She is nice to deal with. My anal pain was so bad that I was afraid to let her go in too deep, for fear of after pain, so we didn't get a chance to make much progress, My CNS is over stimulated so I took a break , also due to the logistics and expense of travel to NYC (parking etc Were $$) but i may try again in the future. I also saw Stacey once, she advised a break for the above reasons , But also liked her.
Hope this helps!

Kathy

I saw Kiambu and he was able to align my sacrum and pelvic. For the first time in probably two years my leg length were the same. It felt good. unfortunately, it didn't hold -- which i didn't expect it to so i am going back this week. He is very knowledgeable. He gave me exercises to do. i have never had Jerry Hesch work on me but I have been to many chiropractors, PT's etc and they couldn't align my sacrum -- but Kiambu was able to!

Hi Beverley,
Thats good to hear! When you said it felt good, do you mean your pain disapeared for a little while? Thats great if so!
I'll have to check your previous post but this massage person is in Manhattan right?
Could you pls keep me posted as you continue to go to him if you think he is helping with your pain?

For the time being my hubby has been my transportation until I can drive myself etc, ...and it got to the point where he wasn't up to any more trips to NYC unless we saw tangible results in pain relief...
I have been told by osteopath and chiropractic practitioners that my sacrum is out of line too.. one guy even wanted to to internal work to re-align it....but he didn't seem confident in his experience with it thus far, so I passed on it!
Anyway appreciate if you let us know if you have continued improvement!
Good luck to you!
Kathy

It didn't reduce my pain when i saw him but i was in a flare (which im out of since i swtiched to Lyrica which is really helping me) -- but my back felt so much better afterwards. I am going to see him again this week. If you are in a lot of pain in might be hard because you move around alot on his massage table -- it is all very gentle but there is lots of changing positions. i would probably add him to another appointment in the city. but he was very knowledgeable. I dont think he had ever worked with someone with PN before. I will let you know how the second apt goes.

Beverley, I'm so glad you are out of your flare! I take Lyrica too, and while I know you wanted to get off drugs completely since your surgery, I'm glad it's helping. Keep us posted on your PT progress.

Hugs,
Jackie
