Hip Pain, Low Back Pain Testimonial

I am so thankful to have this opportunity to share the wonderful experience I have had at Mind Body Healing Center with Dr. Garett Tomsin, DC.

I am a 65 year old woman who came to Dr. Tomsin because I was a physical and emotional wreck. I couldn’t sleep because of pain in my lower back and a racing mind. My hips were so painful I walked with an obvious limp. I thought for sure I would soon have to have hip replacement surgery.

One day I was seeking an alternative method of treatment. I found Dr. Tomsin in the “Holistic Practitioner” section of the phone book. I called Dr. Tomsin’s office that day and they just happened to have an appointment that day, Aug 29, 2007. Little did I know I was on my way to a new and healthy life!

My first impression of the Center was very favorable. It is in a central, urban location in a very nice home that has been converted into an office. On entering, I felt a very busy but very peaceful atmosphere. I was immediately greeted by Potter, little office dog who looked after me until Roshael took over.

The introductory examination was very thorough although it was different form any other medical examination I had ever experienced. Dr. Tomsin’s explanations were clear and he described just why I was having problems. He explained the B.E.S.T. system of treatment and gave me reading material so that I could study about this “physical yet non-forceful energy balancing procedure used by the hands to reestablish the full healing potential of the body.” He emphasized that the body knows how to heal itself if given the right support. I was just so thrilled that he thought there was something he could do to help me that I was willing to follow his instructions and recommendations.

Following the B.E.S.T. treatment, I took the opportunity to first change my diet. I learned to eat at least “75% fruits and vegetables and 25% everything else.” Dr. Tomsin also recommended several supplements that my body was in great need of.

I started to feel better right away.

My next challenge was to change the way I was thinking about my body and my life in general. I purchased two books written by Dr. M. Ted Morter, Jr. the founder of the B.E.S.T. healing technique. He approaches the patient from a holistic viewpoint – physical, mental and spiritual. I was also introduced to the DVD “The Secret,” which was playing in the office when I went for one of my appointments. I purchased a copy to play at home. Once I started to think in a more positive way and support my body with better food choices and supplements, my body did in fact begin to heal itself.

Dr. Tomsin gently encouraged me to find other ways to help myself. I researched yoga exercises and found stretches that supported me. I found beautiful music for relaxation and I joined a group that teaches meditation techniques. I began to grow sprouts to add nourishment and flavor to my food. And now, Nov 7, 2007, I am well on my way to a healthy, happy and productive new beginning. I am eager to learn new ways of supporting what has already been established because I know that if I continue to work with Dr. Tomsin, there are no limits to the improvement my body can make. My gratitude to Dr. Tomsin and Dr. Morter is boundless.
