Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hi Mike, I haven't complained YET, as Mike has shoulder surgery today, but I DO plan to! Loudly and clearly! I'm going to say that either I get to see the one I saw Wed. or I won't be back! To begin with, I hope you did complain about that first session. And if you haven't complained yet - you should, preferably in writing to the clinic Specifically about that first session - a couple of questions. Did you have inflammation in your neck when you went in? Was the heat moist or dry? Did the " therapist " (term used exremely loosely) bother to explain any of the exercises to you? Did the person demo any of them to make sure you knew how to do them correctly? Were you given any explanation of WHY you were supposed to do any of them? I'm sure I have some inflammation. It was moist heat for 10 min. She did NOT explain OR demonstrate the exercises and didn't really tell me why either. I knew why, but what if I hadn't? The term " therapist " does NOT fit with her at all! Second, I have no clue as to what she was doing with the towel wrapped around her arm and your head. I can't say that it wasn't acupressure, but it sure doesn't sound like any variation I know about. I have, however, most definitely seen situations in the past where someone said they were doing " acupressure " and they most definitely were not. ly, it does not sound like true acupressue. It sounds more like some form of " mobilization. " The way you can confirm for sure one way or the other is to simply ask her which meridian points she was using and why she chose those points. If she wasn't working with the meridian structure, she can call it whatever she wants, but it isn't acupressure. I would be curious about her answers. I wondered, as it wasn't like what you did for me. I will ask her about the meridian points out of curiosity, but I think she just felt around until she felt the muscle or whatever bulging. Does that make sense? I had a notion it wasn't acupressure, but it was at least SOMETHING! I didn't wake up with a headache today at least. I'll give it a few more sessions IF I get her, but if I don't see lots of improvement, I'll stop going and ask for a second opinion. Thanks Mike!
