Problem
When Michael, an Ironman® and Tri-athlete competitor, came into Maitri Healing he was in severe pain and was unable to train. Though his knee was most obviously affected, there was also pain radiating from his abdomen and groin. A thorough assessment revealed fascial restriction in the groin area.
Treatment
During the assessment, Michael instinctively crossed one leg over the other-a clue to the source of the problem. His answers to further questioning were revealing: Michael often sat like this at work with his back hunched over. Over time, this awkward and confined repetitive position was ‘crunching’ and twisting the groin area. CranioSacral Therapy and a simple stretching plan helped to alleviate the restriction in the groin, and eased the stress on the area from the knee to the abdomen.
Result
After only one session Michael was able to begin training again. Three sessions later, he ran a marathon.
“It was amazing how quickly Ramona was able to zone in on the problem. There’s no doubt: without the therapy I couldn’t have run the New York Marathon.”
