ML Client
I have had a lovely lady just join my Arthritis program that will consist of a treatment I do for 8 weeks every week.
Then we go onto a maintenance program.
The program consists of my own methodology which I have created to specifically treat Arthritis.
The lovely lady has been suffering for about four years.
She attended a private physio for a while but didn’t help.
Her Gp said there was nothing wrong but decided to send her for a XRay.
She was diagnosed with stage 4 Arthritis in her knees.
She was given co-codamol which makes her sleepy.
Stage 4 Arthritis is considered to be severe. In stage 4 the joint space between the bones are considerably reduced, causing the cartilage to wear off, leaving the joint stiff. The breakdown of cartilage leads to a chronic inflammatory response, with decreased synovial fluid that causes friction, greater pain and discomfort when walking or moving the joint.
There is increased production of synovial metalloproteinases, cytokines and TNF that can diffuse back into the cartilage to destroy soft tissue around the knee. The advanced stage of the disease shows development of more spurs causing excruciating pain, which makes even everyday chores, including walking and descending stairs a challenge.
In cases of severe OA of the knee, an option is performing osteotomy or bone realignment surgery, wherein the orthopedic surgeon cuts the bone above or below the knee to shorten the length and help realign it for less stress on the knee joint. This surgery helps protect the knee by shifting the weight of the body away from the site of the bone spur growth and bone damage.
Another surgical option is total knee replacement, or arthroplasty. During this surgical procedure, the damaged joint is removed and replaced with a plastic or metal prosthesis device. Recovery from surgery may take several weeks and requires patience and discipline, with continuous physical and occupational therapy to regain full mobility.
🌻🌻🌻 After her second treatment my client text this
Hi
Not sure what has happened but oh my goodness the difference in my knees is remarkable.
They were a bit achy Thursday night but they feel so much better. I stood to cook last night and even went and got some shopping myself without too much effort. They are still sore but no where near as bad.
🌻I have given my client specific exercises to do at home between treatments
I am pleased she has responded so well just after two treatments.
And can already begin to do things she has not been able to do for years.
To be able to stand long enough to cook and get shopping with out help is just a start but a wonderful one.
Please share this with anyone you know suffering with Arthritis be it osteoarthritis or rheumatoid or any other type.
Or if they are in any pain.
