Bryon

Retired

Up until my mid 30s I was an ardent and competitive track and field athlete. Constant injuries from about then kept me from the track and eventually I was plagued with chronic fatigue syndrome. For years I barely managed to make it to work. I finally managed simply to live with the condition - and get on with my life the best way I could. Not easy...but despite years of seeking out medical and alternative professionals here, there and everywhere, it seemed no one could help me. Forward 30 years. Rosilyn was recommended to me. So, almost as a last resort I made an appointment - not expecting anything or even hoping...

I was speechless when at the first session she said, "You love to run don't you...and you really miss it"? Then she said the most extraordinary thing. She said, "You will run again". I couldn't believe it and quite frankly I thought she was crackers. Immediately following the first session though I began to feel better, much better than I'd felt in quite a long time in fact. So I fronted up to the next and the next and so forth. By the 10th session I was better than I'd been for over 35 years! I was so thrilled and happy. I wasn't going to leave it there though. I remembered she said I would run again so I was going to (silently) hold her to it.

Well, I have to tell you that it took four years but run again I am! I just woke up one morning and knew it was time and it was safe for me to run. I immediately packed up some track gear and headed down to the track. I was/am a sprinter. I set up and away I went. I can't even begin to tell you the thrill it was to feel the body fit and able and what's more, willing to run and run and run. And, I'm still running - competing again and have not had one single injury. That was two years ago...I still see Rosilyn on a regular basis - maybe every three months or so - we celebrated our 40th session earlier this year! She keeps all of me in tip top condition and for a long time has been my only health care professional. I am now 73 years old and feel I'm getting younger every year.
