Healing a Broken Shoulder

"After surgery on a complete break of the "ball" from my upper arm bone, my whole arm was swollen and acutely painful. Rebecca's expert touch on my shoulder area relieved a great deal of unnecessary tension. She guided the fluids bloating my hand and elbow back up to be absorbed. When I continued the gentle technique she taught me, the swelling virtually disappeared in two days. My recovery time was shortened.

Once my bone healed, Rebecca helped coax my stiff shoulder joint back into harmony with the rest of my body. She has vast knowledge of the various body systems, and deep skill at integrating them through touch and movement.

Her work complemented that of the physical therapists' and played a key role in my complete recovery of mobility and strength. I wouldn't have healed completely without Rebecca's expertise and perceptive touch."
