My name is Joan, and I’m a 44-year-old mother of two teenagers. My life has always been busy—caring for my children and working tirelessly at a personal care home. I’ve spent years looking after others, but I never imagined I’d find myself in a position where I couldn’t take care of even myself.
It all started with a slight pain in my lower back and right buttock. At first, I brushed it off, assuming it was just a minor ache from working too much. But within days, the pain grew excruciating, shooting down my leg like lightning. Walking became difficult, and soon, even basic tasks felt impossible. Work, which I loved, became a source of dread.
I saw my primary care doctor, who prescribed painkillers and muscle relaxers, but they only dulled the pain briefly. He referred me to an orthopedic specialist, who ordered an MRI and tried different medications. He diagnosed me with Sciatica. Despite their efforts, nothing truly worked. My condition worsened to the point where I sometimes needed a wheelchair just to make it to appointments.
For nearly a year, I lived like this—stuck in a cycle of frustration and despair. I couldn’t work, and I felt like I was losing not only my independence but also my sense of purpose. One day, during a visit to the orthopedic office, a nurse quietly pulled me aside. She whispered, “You should try Brian at The Miracle of Massage. I’ve seen him help people in your situation.”
Desperate for relief, I decided to give it a chance. My first session was eye-opening. Brian’s approach was unlike anything I had experienced. It was intense, focused, and personal. Each session dug deeper into the source of my pain, addressing areas I didn’t even realize were contributing to my condition. It wasn’t easy, but after eight visits, something miraculous happened—I was completely pain-free.
Walking without pain felt like a gift. Being able to go back to work, care for my patients, and be present for my children was nothing short of life-changing. I’ll forever be grateful to that nurse for her kindness and to Brian for his patience and expertise. The Miracle of Massage truly gave me my life back.
