MY DOCTOR TOLD ME MY CONDITION WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO LIVE WITH - THEN I TRIED SHIATSU - 3 WEEKS LATER I COULD WALK AGAIN!

There is so much in the news at the moment about the NHS not being prepared to spend money on anything other than DRUGS that often, mask, but do not get to the root cause of conditions. Some GP's feel that Western Medicine offers the only cure. Shiatsu, a Japanese body therapy, is recognised by the NHS and available in some areas. This is my story on how Shiatsu cured me. I fell from quite a height straight on to the corner of a concrete slab. Within hours my leg was 3 times its normal size and a very hard lump appeared below my knee. I rang Jeanne Heppell, a Shiatsu Practitioner who practices at the Belper Natural Health Centre. As the injury was serious, she insisted that I had an xray and saw my GP. before she would give me a Shiatsu treatment.

The doctor took one look at my leg and I was rushed to the D R I with a suspected blood clot. I had massive internal bleeding, my foot was black and too painful to put to the floor. I was given a tubigrip bandage and sent home. The doctor said that the lump was unlikely to go. If it did, it could take years and I would have to live with it. He said I would probably never be able to kneel again or walk normally. I was still in pain, my leg was very swollen and I could not put my foot to the floor.

I WAS DEVASTATED, MY CAREER DEPENDS ON MY BEING ABLE TO KNEEL AND MOVE EASILY. Jeanne Heppell gave me a Shiatsu treatment. She worked on the lymphatic system to reduce the swelling and then worked on my knee to disperse the lump. The pressure immediately eased from my leg that was previously so bad it felt as if it was about to burst! I WALKED BACK TO MY CAR!!!! The following week Jeanne gave me another treatment and afterwards the swelling was GREATLY reduced. By the third treatment the bone like lump below my knee HAD GONE!!!!!

This is the second time that Western Medicine could do nothing for me, and the second time that Shiatsu cured me. I know Shiatsu is amazing but I am glad that I suffered the injury so that I had the proof for myself. I would not be back to normal today without the amazing power of Shiatsu.
