Testimonial - My Pain in the Neck was History!

January 20, 2006

One of the most highlighted benefits I received from seeing Irene is the ability to manage my neck pain. I had a persistent neck problem for a long time, many years.  It usually began with minor discomfort and gradually went down with severe pain.  Although I went to see an acupuncturist for a while to have massage and acupuncture to relieve my pain, I had no control of my neck symptoms at its "early" stage of every episode in the past.  Then, seeing Irene was quite a difference experience!  She carefully treated my neck and gave me some "homeworks" for me to treat myself.  It was assuringly helpful to have an expert like her to analyze my situation and teach me some simple, but effective, exercises to speed up my improving condition.  I am sure there are many causes of neck pain, and I may not be able to eliminate them all, but Irene taught me the way to detect early warning signs and do appropriate exercises to prevent recurrence.

When I first saw Irene, my neck hurt so much that I could hardly move it.  I went for a few visits and my condition significantly improved everytime.  During the treatment period, I paid special attention to my posture, and did exercises prescribed by her.  Gradually I felt more comfortable to move around and shortly after my third visit, I restored all normal neck movements which I had lost for years.  Furthermore, I have not had the symptoms ever since I saw Irene in 2003.

I definitely recommend Irene’s service to anyone who needs PT.  What I appreciated the most was that Irene took time to analyze my problem.  My condition was assessed not only by questions, but also by my movements... Her skills, experience and confidence gave me great assurance that my neck problem can be fixed.  And it was!

Thank you so much again for all your care.
