Hi, my name is Melody. If you are someone that has pain and has tried to get rid of it, I sympathize. When I was young I thought I could do whatever my older brother could do. He and a few boys from town were swinging out over a steep hill on a rope swing. I begged for my turn, trying to fit in. What I did not realize is that I could not hold my own weight. I swung out and landed way down onto the flat rocks below. I was so embarrassed, especially since I was always picked on for being chubby. When the boys asked if I was ok, I held back the tears and answered, “Yes, I’m fine.”
I was not fine. I was surprised I could walk home. I never told my Mom out of fear I would be in trouble for trying to do something so crazy. That was the start of my back problems.
I first heard about Cliff and his unique method in the mid 90s. Although I had gone to chiropractors and massage therapists before, I was assured this was different. I was a little apprehensive at first, but I realized I had nothing to lose. Using the postural exam he looked at how my muscles were aligned. That was something none of my chiropractors had ever done. That made sense to me since no two people have the exact same problems. After the first session using the RPM Method he examined my back again. I was already straighter. I felt great. My back was not tight or sore from the treatment. I felt relaxed for the first time in a long time.
I had a handful of treatments, all of which helped my back feel better than it had ever before. My back was straight! My hips didn’t hurt. I couldn’t believe I felt so good. I had to stop going to Cliff because I moved. I wish I had him closer. To have someone that would work on me and help me without hurting me further was just what I needed. The RPM Method was different. It worked and had lasting benefits.
