Back Pain

A Personal Message From Katherine Allen LMP, Founder of Healing Myofascial Release

Do you find yourself concerned about persistent back discomfort and stiffness, even after ample rest?
Are you feeling frustrated because conventional remedies like pain relief medications, massages, or chiropractic sessions have proven ineffective, and your pain appears to be worsening?
Is the fear of exacerbating your pain holding you back from returning to running or other forms of exercise?

If you prioritize your health and seek a lasting solution to lead a more active life free from the constraints of pain, then you’ve landed in the right place!

Many often dismiss back pain, assuming it will resolve itself. It’s a frequent tendency to attribute it to an uncomfortable sleeping position or simply view it as a universal experience at some stage of life.

If you find yourself in this situation, rest assured you’re not alone. We encounter such sentiments regularly.

In fact, back pain is a prevalent issue among both runners and athletes who seek our assistance in the clinic.

Before Seeking Treatment At Healing Myofascial Release, Many Of Our Patients Grappling With Back Pain Are Advised To:

Simply "rest" or take a break from exercising, with the expectation that it will eventually dissipate (only to find themselves still suffering months later).
Accept it as a "normal" part of aging, something they must endure.
Rely on pills to enable movement and exercise for the long term.
Consider surgery and injections as the sole recourse.

However, The Reality Of Back Pain For Runners And Athletes Is Quite Different:

Resting doesn't bring about any substantial change. You may experience brief relief, but once you resume activity, back pain and stiffness persist (as you may have already experienced!).
Experiencing back pain and stiffness with age is not a standard or expected occurrence.
Pain medication can be addictive, pose risks, and potentially lead to other bodily issues.
Surgery and injections are not the exclusive solutions; they are simply the options offered by surgeons.

When facing a back injury, the abundance of available options can be bewildering, leaving you unsure of the best course of action.

This might involve attempting a specific stretching regimen recommended by a friend, only to find it ineffective for your situation.
You may have sought advice from various healthcare professionals, including different massage therapists, but found their suggestions and interventions to be unhelpful.
Additionally, following exercises recommended by "experts" on platforms like YouTube might have exacerbated your pain rather than alleviating it.
Even engaging in a yoga or pilates class could have been hindered by persistent discomfort, ultimately leaving you feeling worse.

Throughout this, the doctor’s advice may have been to rest and rely on medication.

When Addressing A Significant Issue Like Back Pain And Stiffness…

The choice of healthcare provider is crucial for your well-being.

Selecting the wrong provider could lead to undergoing risky surgery unnecessarily or developing a lifelong dependence on addictive pain medications. Opting for the “least-invasive” and most natural treatment is absolutely crucial in putting an end to your back discomfort and stiffness, and preventing its recurrence.

To achieve this, it’s imperative to go beyond merely alleviating the pain and seek a provider who is committed to understanding the underlying cause of the pain.

This is the path to obtaining a lasting solution to your problems.

What People Say About Healing Myofascial Release

I was introduced to Katie at church after my car accident. The services offered were nothing like I had seen before. I came in with a concussion and the Myofascial Release resolved symptoms quickly. The mental fog from the concussion cleared faster than the doctors expected and the Myofascial Release is the only thing I wanted and needed while recovering.

As a practitioner myself for almost 20 years and dealing with chronic pain from repetitive movement and an autoimmune condition, I can say that Katie is hands down one of the best practitioners I've come across. She is intuitive, skilled, knowledgeable, and very professional. She can release years worth of fascial restrictions in just a few treatments.

Our experience with Katie and Healing MFR was incredible! She was gentle, thorough and explained everything to us in such a professional way. She is incredibly intelligent and kind and knew exactly where to put her hands to do the work! Can’t wait to see how much better my little feels after her appt!
