I live in the far NorthWest Part of Houston on the edge of Spring/Klein/Tomball. Can anyone tell me if they have found good medical help in this area please?...
Robin It was nice of you to respond. I am having a really good day and evening. I am not sure but my Chiro Dr G said on Wed that there was a chance it wasn't...

Hi Mary  Thanks for your response. And for the information that there has been more success in recent cases. I have only read thru the first fifty...
I don't want to be a dash of cold water here but thought I better share my experience with physical therapy (so far) - I did great when we stopped all exercise...
It is funny you mentioned buying a car you can sit in. I am only 5 foot tall to start with then add the painful position of driving a car. I bought my Honda...

I don't think you understand the situation. It isn't about the back of the seat, it is about the lowness of the seat. I have to have my left leg at the same...

Mary thank you for posting about the tennis ball treatment. I am going to buy a tennis ball and try it. http://www.bodywork revolution. com/Burlington. pdf ...

Mary sorry to my introduction with so much info. I did not know what to include or leave out so I just sent it all. The fall was really something I do wish I...
I want to put my 2 cents in here about the tennis ball - my doctor basically sent me home and told me to do this. It is hard for me to do. I can only do it...
I agree. Better to have PT or myofascial or ART therapist do the work on you. Typically, people move on to the tennis ball AFTER a PT has done the initial...
Regarding the use of a tennis ball... It may be that you are trying too hard to "lay on it". I describe it as "rolling onto it" Start on your side, on the...
