“A few years ago, I had severely injured my right and, wrist and thumb. My hobby is sewing, and apparently the right hand, wrist and thumb had been overworked by this activity.. My doctor had told me that I had carpel tunnel syndrome, and gave an injection, but that did little to relieve the intense pain. I was severely physically handicapped. I couldn’t wrote, sew or do any of the usual activities that I had done previously with my right hand. I had to learn to do everyday activities chop food, cook, brush my teeth, clean, etc – with my left hand. As I was 82 years old then, this was not easy.
One year later, my daughter, who had received some deep tissues release treatments form Art, asked him if he could help me. He came to see me and massages my right hand. He was very gentle with me, and after the massage I was amazed. My hand felt warm and the pain was gone. I was able to curl my fingers into my palm, and tuck my thumb under them, something I had not been able to do since the injury. Before he left, Art showed me gentle hand, thumb and wrist movements that I could do to keep them flexible. To this day, I am still able to use my right hand without pain and do all the things I love and need to do. I am so thankful for that.
In addition, Art’s treatment had a remarkable effect on me personally. Before he gave me the massage, I had become somewhat dejected. I had felt there was no hope of recovering use of my right hand. He not only healed my hand, he also un-lifted my morale. I am deeply grateful for all he has done.”
