I've had TREMENDOUS results! After your body compensates for bone and disc repositioning due to degeneration, aging, and arthritis, MFR therapy RELEASES the tugging by your connective tissue, muscles, et al. upon the bones. It relieves painful pressure and weight. You should try a couple of times before surgery - it will put you in a magnificent position to heal better and continue afterward.
