Probably the best way for me to describe and promote Symmetry is to tell you my personal experience with this approach to postural alignment through corrective exercises.
I had suffered with low back pain for over 20 years. Most therapies helped me for a short period of time, but I never felt completely pain free. I spent many hours having acupuncture, receiving massages and undergoing physical therapy but I still took Motrin for the pain.
Ten years ago I had a bad fall down a set of wet stairs that severely aggravated my already pre-existing condition. Although I never had an MRI, all symptoms pointed to a herniated disc. I continued with the above mentioned therapies, but suffered regular flare-ups. In addition, I began to experience severe shoulder pain which flared-up as well. I had resigned myself to using a natural pain relieving cream several times a day while tolerating my condition.
Through a friend who had achieved nearly miraculous results, I was introduced to Patrick Mummy. His Symmetry seminars intrigued me enough to sign up and study his approach to postural alignment. As a student I was initially evaluated by Patrick and continued with the Symmetry program for 16 weeks. Within a very short period of time I was actually pain free. I was so pleased and surprised that I decided to incorporate Symmetry into my acupuncture practice. By then I was a certified Symmetry Practitioner.
To date I have introduced and treated over 75 patients in less than a year using this approach. Symmetry alone or combined with acupuncture seems to to be the "missing link" that I have been looking for as a practitioner. Many of my patients who suffered with chronic pain are like me now.......pain free. I can't say enough about Symmetry, both personally and as a practitioner.
