MFR Testimonials

"I have suffered from TMJ problems and chronic myofascial pain in my neck, shoulders and face since I was sitting my "A" levels 20 years ago. Over the years I have tried every type of prescription and non-prescription painkiller and anti-inflammatory drug, as well as anti-depressants. I've been to see numerous dentists and a maxillofacial surgeon and had thousands of pounds worth of dental treatment to try and correct the problem.

I have been to see physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists, a Chinese herbalist, a homeopath and a kinesiologist. I have tried using a TENS machine. I've tried Pilates, and Yoga and meditation. But none of these have provided lasting relief. Then a couple of months ago I read a book on trigger points and MFR therapy and thought I would give it a try. I found Ruth's website on the Internet and arranged a 5 day intensive course of treatment at the Natural Therapy Centre in Bearsden.

Ruth is an excellent therapist and for the first time I feel I have found a treatment that can unravel the chronic tension in my muscles that causes me so much pain. It is quite a journey from Oxfordshire to Glasgow, but I'll be travelling up again as soon as I can get another week off work. I just wish that I had discovered MFR 20 years ago."

For as long as I can remember my body has felt heavy and painful. As a child I assumed this was how bodies were- watching people dance and play sports filled me with puzzlement – how did they manage to get their bodies to move so freely? I was in my 20s before realising that not everyone felt the way I felt. Over the years I made many attempts to “get fit” but always met with failure as my body just seized up and became even more painful.

Now, at the age of 61, I have discovered Myofascial release and for the first time no longer feel barred from physical activity nor condemned to drag my body about to the end of my days. After only 10 hours treatment I felt huge relief not only physically but mentally and emotionally too. I was delighted but assumed this improvement would be short lived – not a bit of it. The release and relief I felt has been sustained and, with further treatment has been improved upon – and my long held dream of being a fit and active person is well within my grasp.
