I've done this...I can't say it "worked" because I could only afford 1 session.

However, after that session, I felt stoned out of my mind, in the best possible way. Completely and totally relaxed and happy...it was amazing...took about 20 minutes or half an hour to wear off.

So...it does something, definitely. With a longer run of sessions, who know? But I would say ABSOLUTELY try it if you can :)

LOL yeah I know it sounds nuts, but that's exactly what it was like...the practitioner even told me not to drive for a while, so I just sat in my car, talking on the phone and thinking how fucken beautiful life was...definitely not what I was expecting going in!!!!!!!!!!

She's right, Bear! You gotta try it. My doc looked at me and asked if I was ok to drive. I wasn't.

My neck doc tells me it works on releasing endorphins .... so, that can't be bad right?
