@hotfooted Thank you so much! If you need to find a good MFR therapist, there is a provider finder on the MFR website, and you can also call "Therapy on the Rocks" in Sedona, AZ. That is the teaching practice of John Barnes who developed this therapy. They can give you names of therapists who have trained there. Not all of them pay for the web listing.

Healing the body and the mind spirit connection is so important for our physical and emotional health. I started MFR because of thoracic outlet syndrome and I have made steady progress with my physical therapist. A couple years ago, I had to take a break from therapy and had spine surgery on my neck at Mayo. Then after recovery, I started back at MFR. I self treat at home too because my therapist has taught me a lot. As a patient, I'm a poster child for wellness and for advocating for myself and I read a lot of medical literature. I have to work on my muscle strength too because I had lost a lot of muscle mass from the spine problem (cervical stenosis) and working with my horse sure helps a lot with that. He was part of my recovery and I had clearance to ride at 7 months post op. I just returned from a camping trip with my horse and the girls and feel physically stronger than when we left. My horse has also had MFR treatments recently that have helped him, and I've learned some of that and have worked on him in-between his sessions. He had some weakness in his hips, and after one of the MFR sessions, his pelvis (probably the SI joint) reset itself with a loud crack and his gaits got smoother. We just rode about 50 miles over 6 days through some beautiful wooded trails. He's doing some rehab too, and now I'm helping him. Thanks for your kind words.
