Fascial Counterstrain, something I knew nothing about. My wife convinced me to go see Dr. Edwards. Today, after my 4th visit, I am thanking God with all my heart that I trusted my wife.I had given up hope long ago. I have a rare Neuromuscular disorder that can’t even be diagnosed.. The last day of November, 2020, I woke up quadriplegic — out of nowhere. My wife had to push me off the bed and drag my 225 lb body into the bathroom and somehow get me on the toilet so I could pee. I thought I was dying. The next day I woke up fine but it was harder to walk. The next day quadriplegic. Life went on like this every other day until I was walking with a cane — at 37 years old.No doctor could explain it. The only thing that helped was gathering cows in Northern Nevada. The dry country vs. cold, humid climate of the Cascades helped plus the horses movement beneath me helped retrain my brain to walk. Fast forward almost 6 years and we’ve been living in New Harmony but the drier climate had the opposite effect than the cold humid one — instead of my muscles just quitting on me, they wouldn’t quit. Certain muscles have been flexed 24/7/365 for almost 6 years. Every neurologist told me the same thing — “when we poke an electric needle in your muscles it shows they are flexed while you’re at rest.” “Oh really, doc, I never noticed that!!” Anytime I got sick every single muscle in my body would Charlie horse and after 6 hours of waiting for the first episode to stop and an ER trip later all they could do was pump me full of drugs and send me home.For six years I’ve been in my own secret flexing competition and the pain just kept getting worse each year until finally I had to take the devils poison that killed my brother. EVERYTIME I went to my pain doc or my neurologist it was just to treat symptoms. Everytime they told me the same thing, “You’re able to live a pretty normal life and that’s because of medicine.” Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful but this year I gave up hope — hope was more painful than the constant muscle flexing that just never quit.Today, I would not be surprised if the Lord Himself combined with power from our Father healed by similar touch and method.A miracle occurred! Dr. Edwards with hands and this new science— had my neck gently bent, and touching two opposing spots, stopped my biceps from flexing! After 6 years of 24/7/365 and they relaxed!I’ve been around the block several times, hopped every fence and zig zagged through it over these last 6 years. I’ve been open to anything and everything. I’ve been told earth bound spirits were possessing me, my chakras were blocked, that it was all in my head, that I had Myotonic Dystrophy, that I would never be the same again, that I’m a liar and a faker, you name it, I’ve heard and tried it. Even blessings. Nothing worked, except Doctor Edwards.I don’t pretend to understand the science of it completely. But today several things connected in my thick head. My neurologist told me that there was something irritating my nerves and that the goal was to identify it and get rid of it. And then he quit his practice to work somewhere more prestigious. But he gave me a piece of the puzzle: something inside my muscles that was irritating the nerves.Then during my first visit Dr. Edwards gave me the second piece of the puzzle: what was irritating the nerves and the way he gets rid of it. Inflammation can build up in certain mediums in our bodies, like fascia and that he is trained (and IMO amazingly good at) “letting the flies (inflammation) out of the barn (fascia).”For the dubious I hope that helps.The moment I stood up after he finished today, I dropped my arms and they straightened out so much it scared me, I thought both my arms were going to hyper-extend. Nope! I simply forgot what it felt like to have biceps that weren’t constantly flexing. I did a little jig and I felt like I was on the show “The Chosen”. I knew that thru this Doc, and new scientific understanding of the body, God had performed a miracle.I’m so excited for the rest of my muscles!
