I had cervical spondylosis for three years and had tried just about everything – from physiotherapy to acupressure. Eventually it aggravated to lumbar spondylitis and I was advised bed rest for a month. I then read an article on Vardan and thought I would try FMT.
I don’t understand exactly what they do with their hands, but from the second session itself my condition showed definite improvement. My back pain became better with correction of my sacrum and coccyx dysfunction, along with neural tension release; and posture education in sitting, standing and sleeping.
I have continued with the follow-up supervised exercise sessions. Even if the pain occasionally returns, I know exactly what to do. Now I am taking antenatal sessions at Vardan to build up my upper body strength and core & pelvic muscles!
I had cervical spondylosis for three years and tried just about everything from the usual physiotherapy to acupressure. Eventually it aggravated to lumbar spondylosis and I was advised bed rest for a month. I then read an article on Vardan in TOI and thought I would try FMT, especially since my in-laws had already benefited immensely from it.
I don’t really understand exactly what they do with their hands, but I would simply say that my FM therapist (Ekta) pushed everything back into where they should be in my body! I found the treatment a little weird at first because it was initially painful — but it worked and I was won over. I came for 12 sessions over six months, and from the second session itself my condition showed definite improvement.
If you are in acute pain for a long time, the body’s resistance and ability to handle it decreases. Once the body heals, as mine has, tolerance and confidence increases. I have continued with the follow-up exercises and it has been a year now. Now even if the pain occasionally returns, I know exactly what to do. In between I took a car trip and the pain came back with a vengeance but I simply did what Ekta had taught me, from exercises to posture and the pain receded!
Also, my FM therapist has built up such a relationship of trust with me that I know she will understand what I need and what I can take. I was amazed at how her hands found the exact spots where the pain was the most. So now I am having ante-natal sessions at Vardan now to build up my upper body strength and core and pelvic muscles!
