"As a relatively active person diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, I’ve found it’s a delicate balance between doing too little and too much.  Too little activity and I fear the muscles will atrophy; too much and I suffer pain.

     My first introduction to BodyTalk was as a “practice” patient.  In the preliminary session, I indicated a shortness of breath especially when walking, low back pain, numbness and tingling in the fingertips, some loss of balance, somewhat poor posture, difficulty walking, general overall weakness in the arms, legs, and hands, upper back, shoulder, and hip pain on both the left and right sides, and difficulty swallowing.  Soon after my initial treatment session, I accompanied my children and grandchildren down to the beach where we had to ramble over rough ground and walk over large boulders to reach the water.  The pain in my hip was gone.  I felt more relaxed but most remarkable to everyone was the facility and agility that I demonstrated for the first time in a long time.  My legs were stronger and my balance noticeably improved. I could actually traverse the whole area unaided!  The whole experience that day was remarkable!!!

     Eleven days later in my next session, I was experiencing soreness in my shoulders and arms from scraping a ceiling and preparing it for painting.  What normally would have taken six weeks of physical therapy to cure, was accomplished in a matter of minutes with the tapping of my cortices.  Also the sensation of my knees “buckling” when walking was gone by the end of the session.  Suffice it to say, regardless of what my physical ailment might be at the time of my session, I have had unprecedented fast, long lasting relief.

     It still baffles me how such a non-invasive, simple, safe form of treatment can be so effective!  I still don’t totally understand about the body’s energy systems and how through BodyTalk they can be resynchronized, but it happens!  Even more amazing is the fact that BodyTalk can achieve these same results even from afar.  In a “remote” session, my headache was gone, my forehead more relaxed than I can remember, and the range of motion in my neck was greatly improved and there was no longer discomfort.  Incredible!!!  And I was not even consciously thinking about the session at the time.

     For years I have had a problem with my head constantly shaking.  Family and close friends pointed out  to me that since my introduction to BodyTalk and the ability to tap out the cortices myself,  my head shaking has vastly diminished.   I wish I could have cured that years ago when my students would ask me why I was shaking my head, unbeknownst to me.

     Finally, a session prior to eye surgery for ptosis, put my body and mind at ease for which I attribute the general overall positive results. I verbalized my feelings, and after a time indicated that my head actually felt like I lightened up and my sinuses let go, as Alison worked her wondrous magic. She told me that she could feel  “big shifts”. But even more impressive was the day following surgery.  Both the technician who examined me and the surgeon were amazed at how well I looked less than 24 hours after surgery.  They would have predicted far more swelling and bruising around the eyes.  There was no need for the prescribed pain medication or even a Tylenol.

      So… my initial  feelings of apprehension, uneasiness, uncertainty, anxiety, and even some nervousness  as a “patient” of BodyTalk  were quickly alleviated.  And although it is still hard to wrap my mind around the theory of BodyTalk, there is no denying that it WORKS!  "
