Kelly is amazing, and works amazing miracles!

A couple of months ago, I developed sudden onset acute pain in my shoulder, with associated sensory changes and weakness in my arm. This continued for 3 weeks, with little help from primary care. The pain was unbearable and the primary care physiotherapist, said because its nerve pain and not musculoskeletal she could not help. A friend recommended Kelly at The Body Project, and even said if she is unable to help with the pain and symptoms, she would pay for my appointment! Now that’s trust and belief in the skills, knowledge and treatment provided by Kelly.

By this point I had been in pain for 4 weeks and was hardly sleeping at night. Kelly did a thorough history, and even in that her knowledge and experience shone through. She then began treating the area with massage and medical needle therapy, all the while doing a great job of distracting me! She also explained what she was doing, the treatment and what had been going on physiologically, over years likely, to cause this pain. Again, I was blown away by her knowledge and experience. I definitely ached afterwards, but I slept that night!

Over the course of the next week, the pain and aching eased, and having not been able to swim for 4 weeks (I am a triathlete), I managed 30 minutes. Another treatment a couple of weeks after the first, and I managed 45 minutes swim and have been out on the bike. The pain has gone and the ache with activity is less and less. I honestly cannot recommend Kelly and The Body Project enough. To have been told it’s not musculoskeletal, when there was so much musculoskeletal involvement is crazy, considering the treatment and progress I have experienced through expert assessment, knowledge and skills in this area.

My friend was right! Kelly is amazing, and works amazing miracles! As well as the treatment, I now have a combination of exercises to help strengthen this area, and I’m also looking forward to continuing to draw upon her knowledge to help me build strength as a triathlete with a programme tailored to my sport. Thank you so much Kelly and The Body Project.
