@jenniferhunter I have so enjoyed reading everything you have posted about MFR. An injury to my back in early March and ensuing pain was dismissed by the PT I was seeing following knee replacement surgery in February. I finally spoke to my surgeon, who sent me to a physiatrist, and an MRI showed endplate compression fractures at L4 and L5, a bulging disc at L4-L5, severe stenosis at L4-L5, and mild stenosis at L3-L4. Two lumbar injections are not providing the relief either my physiatrist or I had hoped for, and I keep thinking “If I could just get everything to relax and stretch out, maybe my poor spine, butt, hamstrings, and calves could figure out how to be normal again.” I definitely do not want a typical PT experience, so I located therapists in my area trained in the John Barnes’ MFR method, had a wonderful conversation with a therapist, and hopefully have a first appointment in a couple of weeks. Thank you for all your thoughtful, detailed, and informative posts.
Good to see you again Jennifer, sorry about your ankle though. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
