Here’s what Trigger Point patients are saying…

“At age 45 I couldn’t move anymore. My back was so bad I could climb stairs. The Myotherapy gave me back my movement & freedom again. I am now 58 & still at the things I love, cutting firewood, fishing, being in the woods, moving rocks & gardening. I Steeple Jack for a living & I am still doing that.”
~John

“I was hurting my joints. Certain places in my neck & back was so stiff that I couldn’t barely stand. After treatments I am more flexible & not so stiff. I learned all the trigger points & also do streching which really helps me stay linber. I have an incurable disease.” ~Sharon

“In the years I have been coming here, it has helped to reduce the trigger point pain. It has also helped to promote a greater flexibility and mobility. I have also had headaches for 25 years. I still do but not quite as severe. Even though all of these things still occur, I know it has help to reduce the severity of the pain from these conditions.”
~Barb

“I had been a competitive weight lifter for many years. For about a year I had been suffering with chronic pain. I had used other methods of pain control with little change in my condition. With numerous treatments over an extended period of time most of the pain was eliminated. I would recommend this type of therapy over the others that I tried. I was able to go from daily discomfort to being relatively pain free.”
~David

“I had a lot of muscle pain all over, mostly leg and hip. It affected my ability to do daily task and work. It always helps after a treatment. It helps me to sleep and to work better less pain in back and hip.”
~Pat

“I first saw Carla Hedtke for a Trigger Point Myofascial Release after first seeing a Chiropractor, a Sports Clinic, a Physical Therapist and several Doctors for my back pain. After an hour and a half session of Trigger Point Myotherapy I walked out (I had just about crawled in, I was in such bad shape) Pain Free! And I didn’y go back to see Carla for almost a year, I felt so good. Her therapy is miraculous and I recomend her to anyone with back pain.”
~Jon

“I am a professional artist and have been for nearly 20 years. Painting is not only my career – it’s my life and my passion. Approximately 5 years ago, I was having severe problems with my right arm, wrist and finger. I could not paint for an hour a day or I would experience terrible pain an numbness in my arm and fingers. I was wearing a brace and teaching myself to paint left handed when Carla Hedtke came into my gallery. She saw the brace and offered help. After 6 trigger point myotherpy treatments and stretching techniques, I noticed a huge improvment. I can now paint for 6 hours a day with no pain or numbness. I am thrilled to have found a non-invasive cure for my problem.”
~Joan

“I have been going to receive Trigger Point Myotherapy for severla years. The rewards have been to numerous to count. Once was after a fall & injury to my left elbow which thanks to Trigger Pont Therapy returned my (L) arm to complete full range of motion and strength. Another was a fall down the stairs injuring both knees. Following a few sessions of therapy, my knees are normal and pain free.I find it extremely beneficial to receive a monthly maintenace session to keep my muscles loose and functioning. It is unbelievable how tense an tight our muscles become during the course of daily living.”
~Marjorie

“I came to Carla for a severe pain in my hip. After 3 treatments the pain was gone & still is. I’ve now returned for treatment to my knee. After 3 treatments the pain is gone & I have decided to do a monthly treatment plan.”
~Violet

“Carla Hedtke’s treatments have made a signigicant difference in my life. Due to the trauma I sustained in an auto accident I was unable to turn my neck far enough to back safely down my driveway and lifting my one and half year old caused me a great deal of pain in back and shoulders. Carla’s skillful and commpassionate care have lowered my pain and have increased my range of motion. I would recommend her to anyone who needs healing from pain (and the discouragement that goes with it)!”
~Renee

“When I began treatment in December of 1994, I was extremely exhausted & weak, got very little restful sleep. I had frequent headaches & heart palpitations, had intense pain throughout the muscles of my body, inc. deep compression pain in my left shoulder also w/numbness on the right side, if I tried to sleep on it. I relied on reg. doses of Tylenol to keep the headaches & the pain level manageable so that I could continue my daily tasks, cut back my daily 2 1/2 mi. walk to 1/2, cut back gardening to 3/4 & laid down for 1/2 – 1hr. in the afternoon. Today, much of my energy has returned, my sleep is restful of few interuptions & only occasional delays, the heart palpitations are gone, the headaches are few the numbness is gone & the pain level has dropped. Good-Bye Tylenol!!!

I can once again sleep on my R. side (or back-which I never could before). I have more energy to complete daily tasks, walk 2 1/2 – 3mi. on a hilly terrain (we’ve moved to a hilly area) & once again enjoy gardening on a limited basis. Myotherapy treatments are now limited to a monthly maintenance level. I adhere to a vitamin supplement program, good nutrition & daily stretching exersises. I thank God for all those who have shated a part in bringing me to this stage of healing.”

“The first time I visited Carla Hedtke for trigger point Myotherapy I had pain, loss of strength in my left wrist and thumb due to arthritis. Since I am left-handed, it was difficult for me to write, as well as do other daily fine-motor tasks. After working with Carla, I have significantly less pain & more strength & range of motion. Writing is easier for me now than it was prior to trigger point.

I have visited Carla for other physical problems as well. I could not lift my right arm above my shoulder height & had difficuly lifting even relitively lightweight objects such as my curling iron. With a combination of physical therapy & trigger point Myotherapy I have regained my range of motion & strength without the accompanying pain that I had experienced. Trigger Point has also helped reduce headache & neck pain for me. Trigger Point Myotherapy and the accompanying stretches/exercises work like a “full-body tune-up” for me. My positive results include less pain, more range of motion and more strength. I’m a believer!”
~Marilyn

“After reading articles in the local paper and a recommendation from my daughter-in-law, I was ready to try Trigger Point Therapy. I was very surprised and pleased to immediately feel easier movement in my neck area, (the area which I felt, needed the most attention.) With therapy to the whole body, other areas were also effected, movement of legs, arms, hips, and shoulders. I highly recommend giving Trigger Point Therapy a chance to change your life.”
~Margaret

“I heard about Carla through a friend and decided to give Myotherpy a try. At first, I went infrequently, not getting imediate results. However, I eventually started visiting Carla every two to three weeks, doing the stretching exercises Carla had taught me at home between appointments. Eventually, with patience, after about 3 to 4 months, my muscles have “remembered” to relax. Now on a “maintenance plan”, I am virtually headache free.
Carla ia able to zero in on the precise needing attention on my visits. She is very thorough, literally treating me from head to toe.”
~Susan

“Before I saw Carla I was experiencing pain throughout my body. My muscles ached and I felt like a train had hit me. Doctors had offered drugs and muscle relaxers but I did not want to become dependant on drugs. When I went to Carla the first time-she asked lots of questions the doctors hadn’t asked, and when she began the treatment my body felt free (meaning I could move my neck and arms and legs more freely). The actually trigger point can be painful but it’s a “feel good pain”. Carla taught me stretches which I do at home and also taught me how to help myself by pressing on certain trigger points. Carla has helped me be able to function much better in my every day tasks, I continue to see her on a regular basis and whenever I have acute muscle problems I know she will help them relax.”
