I was referred to Denise by Karen Brownlee, my instructor at the Northbrook YMCA. I had a pain in my right biceps muscle, possibly from trying a biceps dip exercise. This was after consulting with my orthopedic doctor, who had prescribed two types of medication, both of which were ineffective. As a result, I continued to have difficulty lifting my right arm beyond shoulder height.
I met with Denise and liked that it was just her and no one else. Having gone through physical therapy many times before with larger practices, this was a nice change. Rather than relying on machines, Denise determined through physical touch that I had a great deal of scar tissue on my right side as a result of several past surgeries. She worked through this tissue, often painfully, until I was able to lift my arm almost over my head! I also was given the usual exercises to supplement this treatment.
I also had pain in my right and left knees, due to the usual wear and tear. Again, through manual touch, Denise helped bring relief to these areas, and I have been diligent in working to strengthen them.
I am very grateful that Karen first told me about Denise, and of course, to Denise for being very understanding and patient with me. I am so glad that I chose The Manual Touch for my treatment.
