Testimonials ~~~

I want to tell you again how grateful I am for the inspired and insightful work you do on my body. For years (probably 20) muscle knots and spasms have been a painful problem for me. When I came to you I was physically incapacitated and seriously limited by pain. I feel you have been the key to releasing my body's healing powers and have given me my life back.

The Myofascial Release therapy done before my dental surgery and after helped me to not have so much pain in my jaw. This time I didn't need to take so much pain medicine and my jaw doesn't feel like it is out of position.

I have found Dana Briggs, owner of Safe Touch Integrated Body Therapy, to be a skilled and competent practitioner. Being as I stand for periods of time when coloring and cutting hair, my body is always receptive to the gentle and thorough unwinding and release of any physical or emotional stress. Having bodywork done is a gift I give myself. I receive benefits to my mind, body, and spirit on such a deep level. The therapy continues to be beneficial to me for several days after a session. I am thankful for alternative methods of treating the whole body and use its connection to implement well being.

I was suffering from patella subluxation due to hip misalignment which made it so I was unable to walk up and down stairs very well, or get up out of a chair, and clearly unable to care for my three young children. Due to the stress I was physically undergoing I seemed to have become extremely hypoglycemic. I could not eat any sugar, fruit or bread products without having physical symptoms arise. I felt I was falling apart. I saw a knee doctor, who of course prescribed surgery. I saw an endocrinologist who prescribed a medication to help my stomach empty slower (which he said I would just have to take the rest of my life). I didn't like the options that "traditional medicine" had to offer, and so I was willing and grateful to have myofascial release work.

My hips were put into alignment and with strength training I was able to regain more freedom in movement. It ended up being somewhat of a spiritual journey for me. I learned more fully the connection between my physical health and my emotional health, and that is where the power in this type of therapy lies. I had to learn to let go of my pride. I learned to get more in touch with my emotions instead of pushing them down. I learned to let myself feel. Honestly, though I must also acknowledge that I feel it was only through prayer I was able to have it 'work' for me. I had to pray before each session to let go of my pride, to be meek. I also had problems with tendonitis and after treatment I would be relieved of my pain in a day or so. Physical therapy and chiropractic work take so much longer.

Myofascial Release Massage really works! I had my second neck surgery to fuse some vertebrae, but unlike the first - this one didn't take the pain away. My wife couldn't stand watching me suffer and gave me a gift certificate for a massage. Well, it was wonderful! So I went for the series and am now completely pain free. Thank you, Dana.
