“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.”

“From June to August I had such limited use of my right hand that the simple task of writing was excruciating. When Dr. Leiberman diagnosed my condition as DeQuarvains Tendonitis, he called it the “Carpel Tunnel Syndrome” of the 90’s. The doctor prescribed physical therapy for 6 weeks, 3 times a week. I was told not to play tennis until I could perform the Finklestein stretch.

After the six weeks, I was still not able to play tennis and certain motions were still impossible. I gave up on the Physical Therapy as it seemed the only one benefitting was the PT clinic.

Prior to my session with you, I had played tennis a couple of times and needed to ice my wrist and elbow afterwards. I also took Motron to minimize swelling. However, since my neuromuscular therapy session with you, I now experience absolutely no pain after two hours of rigorous hours of tennis. My range of motion is restored to normal. I am able to perform the Finklestein stretch. And I experience no pain when pressure is placed on the large wrist tendon.

Not only do I credit you and your healing techniques for my recovery, I also credit you for the killer serve I now have. The two may not be connected, but I credit you anyway.”

“Your work was so stellar. I can’t believe I am not limping! I feel great, and the work cleared so much — even a mild depression I have felt the last couple weeks.

The work was good. My body is balanced, and I released so, so, so much pain.”

“I have had back and neck pain for as long as I can remember. I broke my back in Feb ’08. The doctor said I was healed about 3 months later. My physical therapy and body work and acupuncture continued all year. Yet my back and neck pain had never been worse. Nothing gave me any substantial relief. My first visit with Art was transformational. He gave me more benefit than a year’s (2 and 3 times a week) worth of “work” combined. It felt as if my body was breathing for the first time in years. I could so very obviously feel.clearer, freer, more open. My session was profound. So much “came out.” I could physically feel the blocked energy releasing. Arthur had given me a shot of Noni juice before the session. When I arrived home, I was giddy. My friend joked “are you sure he didn’t drug you?” Art also showed me a simple exercise that I have been doing for 3 days that has been so beneficial. I haven’t been this optimistic about my recovery since many years before I ever broke my back. I knew after my first visit that this work that Art does would be life-altering for me (and surely all bodies). Thank you Arthur. A profound thank you.”

“I’ve been in constant pain since 1995. I’m of common ancestry from my native relations of this northern hemisphere. I am considered to be very strong – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But some days I have not been too close to any of those most wondrous virtues because I have pain in my spine in three areas: neck, mid-back and tail-bone areas. I couldn’t turn, stretch or reach toward any area. Don’t even think about walking or running. I began to believe that my life at 55 was over due to the pain. I tried to believe that it was all in my mind and that if I don’t think about it and take up to 12 pain pills a day that I will survive. Soon I experienced bad stomach cramps, pain and constipation. I wondered if the “medicine” was truly holy and sanctified by the “doctors” who gave me the prescriptions.

Anyway, I met Art Jaffe at Mystery School in 2002. He “ironed” my pain out of my back, out of my limbs, through my finger tips and toes and out of my head. I could swivel in the chair from both directions while staying stationary. Pain is still present, however I’m able to move, lift and transport my art work from place to place. I’ve reduced my happy pills to 1 or 2 in 10 days to 30 days. I’ve benefitted from Mr. Jaffe’s ministrations. Could this be the Creator’s healing work through Mr. Jaffe’s hands? I believe it is. I could quite possibly become a whole healed person again. Thank you.”

“Describing Arthur Jaffe’s work in words is a rather difficult task. My trainer recommended me to go there after an injury that caused me great pain. It took Arthur less than an hour to make it disappear. As I’m still struggling with lower back pain from a herniated disc and related discomfort I try to have at least 2 sessions per month. His abilities are truly unique and his way to identify problems is astonishing. I have sent numerous people to see Arthur and they always come back with a very big smile and regret not having known about him earlier. Give it a shot, I promise you won’t regret it.”

“For years I had suffered from severe back pain and hip pain as a result of a childhood accident. I had sought treatment in several areas: medical, chiropractic, massage and acupuncture. I was aware that as a result of the years of pain and intensity for the work I do, that my body had become extremely painfully tight.

Then I met Art who began to do deep tissue release work on me, In all the treatments I received from him, he as compassionate, skillful and thorough; I felt totally at ease in his care. In addition, he exhibited an intuitive ability so necessary in healing work that goes beyond dexterous manipulation. After a few sessions, I was delighted to feel more flexible and energized. Areas of my body that had felt like steel (hips, abdomen,
solar plexus back, shoulder and neck) were now soft and pliant. I had felt a deep physical relaxation that I had not felt for a long time. He followed this up by showing me exercises I could do daily to keep my body flexible and free from stress and pain.

I am deeply grateful for all Art has done in restoring and improving my physical health, I recommend him without reservation to anyone needing healing. He has a great gift and I hope that many people will have the opportunity – like myself – to receive his excellent care.”

“Two years ago, I severely injured my right foot /ankle/hip (broken culcaneous, dislocation of ankle, bi-lateral tear of Achilles’ tendon, bruised and scraped torn muscles into back). The road to recovery had been along and challenging one. The ankle continued to swell and cause pain, and many compensatory patterns in the muscles persisted despite long bouts of physical therapy, various forms of massage and other healing modalities.

My first session with Art Jaffe was a 20 minute introduction. After this treatment, the pain reduction was around 50%, and the increase in mobility and range of motion increased by 40%. And I experienced enough improvement to do a second session, which was long because I live 9 hours away and can only see Art once per month. I let him work until he stopped, and that turned out to be 3 hours, Major body changes have resulted from this session. I no longer feel my foot is one solid muscle! I am working to maintain the higher degree of flexibility/range of motion that resulted from this session not only in my foot but throughout my body. Even my teeth have been realigning as a result of this session. My hips are far more flexible and far less painful. I have more strength throughout my body which shows itself when I pick things up I am no longer over-compensating for old injuries. I do not have to brace myself to pick things up.”

“I am a brick-layer by trade. The spasms in my back were so severe that during these episodes, I was unable to work for days. I had pain in the front and back of my legs. My right foot was numb; my lower back felt like a bread-board. I had tension between my shoulders which also caused headaches. I could not sleep for more than 2 hours a night.

I had been going to my chiropractor three times a week, and was getting no relief. My co-worker Brain recommended Art to me.

On my first visit, Art started to work on my back. During the visit I could actually fell the negative energy leave my body. I went home and slept for 10 hour straight! After three more visits, all my symptoms were gone. I still visit Art for therapy, and have recommended him to several people – many of whom have taken me out to dinner because they, too, have finally found something that relieves them from pain.

Under Art’s direction, I have become proactive in m back care. I have taken up yoga and swimming. I also take part in weight loss programs. He ha also made me a much more positive and well as pain-free person.”
