I decided to try this regime of treatment. It took 3 weeks for therapist availability and yesterday I had my first session. She was/is lovely, has been doing it for 6 years and her background is in science. Very knowledgeable and as it's her own business knows only to well the benefits of being warm and welcoming.

She was very concerned at how tight the muscle tissue etc is in the lumbar area and additionally upper back and cervical. She worked on me for about 75 minutes and at times it was quite painful. She said for me to use heat packs particularly around my neck / shoulders repeatedly over the weekend and I'm booked to see her again this Monday morning with a further follow up in 2 weeks. She told me to tell her when anything hurt to much so she could back off on the pressure so there were some occasions.

Today my neck is hurting where I injured it in the car accident and my lumbar area also quite painful. Apparently that is to be expected after your first initial treatments. Has anyone else had the same experience?
