My wifes friend organised a one day workshop for MUSKELYM and I volunteered to e one of the test clients. MUSKELYM is a Musculo Skeletal Lymphatic Therapy and deals with all types of problems associated with the body and how it works.

On the morning of the workshop, I wondered why I had volunteered. I had loads of work to do and really needed the time to catch up. Anyway, once I was there, I was pleased that I had committed myself to it. Mike Colqhoun, the creator of MUSKELYM did the demo on me. I have suffered for as long as I can remember with a tightness under my left shoulder blade, about half way down, below the inner surface. This is what the class were interested in, hence my selection from the countless people who applied.

There was a comprehensive questionnaire that Mike went through and to me it felt quite thorough, which was a good thing as far as I was concerned. I then had to get changed into my shorts with a towel and sit on the massage bed, ready to be the guinnea pig. Mike felt the area in my shoulder and without being directed went straight to the painful site. He then felt the oposite side of my chest and linked it up with a painful site there and then on to my knee and pointed out that there was an anomoly with the joint just below my knee. I am not a medical person and I cant remember the details, all I know is that the misalignment of my knee jointwas key to the pain in my shoulder.

Low and behold, Mike manipulated my knee joint and the pain in my shoulder went right down. There was still a small ache there, which I expected as the actual pain had been there for a long time. The session was three days ago now and the pain has gone.

Having has a motorcycle accident when I was 17, I had a catalogue of demonstration areas on my body and Mike proceeded to line up the top of my spine, line up my hips and a whole bunch of other stuff. I felt really great and prefectly in line when the session finished.
