Yeah, been there and done that, and it isn’t a lot of fun because they seem to feel that they are getting it right and if you do it their way it has to get better. They have made it worse for me.
That being said, how would you like to take care of it yourself, do it quicker than they can and do it in a much more sensible way than they will give you? If you are interested, I will forward to you the easy to follow instructions on how to do it. You will save yourself from all the running and time lost. They may keep you coming for six weeks and then you still don’t feel better at the end. And i may take you less than fifteen minutes now. Let me know and I will forward it to you.

This is much like physical exercise class. Wear or bring tee shirt and shorts. Don’t take any extra medication before you go, just what you would be normally taking at that time. Please pay good attention. They will be teaching you a group of exercises, many that you can do at home. The harder you work and the more you practice what they teach you the better this will work. A positive attitude helps, don’t be afraid they are there to help you feel better.
