Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain: “In November of 2005, my shoulder started hurting.It was a sudden onset, for no particular reason that I could identify. I had ongoing visits with my chiropractor and attended massage therapy.

My range of motion was still limited. Having not received any relief, I resigned to the fact it was something to do with aging and I would have to live with it. After consulting with Martin and sharing my life history, he asked me some questions.

I came to realize that as a child my father had hit me with his belt. In November, I was very discouraged with my youngest child and even though my parenting style had been to never hit my child, I gave him a spank. I was so mortified that I had done this, I felt tremendous guilt that I had done what I promised myself I would never do.

When Martin showed me the motion one would use to hit with a belt, I felt a horrible déjà vu. This was how my father would have hit me and that was where my shoulder had hurt. My body was protecting me.

Through releasing my feelings and emotions about this event I was able to instantaneously regain my range of motion and have it to this day.”
