Hosting our 2nd in a series of three Wellness & Weight Loss Retreats at Bliss Island this week. This is my second time participating (while co-hosting) and I’m simply amazed by the results.
Retreat Host & Coach Chris Kidawski put me on his table to administer his permanent pain relief body work yesterday. I had heard him say that he can make most chronic pain go away but I was pretty pessimistic that he could fix my three decade long chronic hip issues in one 60-minute session on his table.
Since my twenties (I’m 51), I have been unable to cross my left leg over my right knee while sitting. This lack of mobility has led to multiple leg injuries on both legs. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on doctors, trainers, massage therapists, professional stretchers, chiropractors and even surgeries (on injuries to my knees & Achilles due to this issue) in an effort to loosen up my hip to give me full range of motion, all to no avail. Doctors would tell me things like “you need to stretch your IT band every day” or “you should get hip replacement surgery.”
In less than 60-minutes, Chris put me on a massage table and started to manipulate my fascia. Via his expertise, he was able to eliminate the trauma that created the adhesion in my fascia that was holding my hip into a locked stick position. The photos below show the difference in my range of motion between my good right hip, where my bad left hip was at pre-work, and where I am now at post work. This is the first time I’ve been able to cross my left leg over my right knee since my teens.
My very first question of Chris, was would it be permanent? His answer was music to my ears. He said, “That problem is permanently over. That chronic contraction is released.”
I can barely believe it. I’m so grateful.
Our next Wellness Retreat is Nov. 1-7. DM if interested. You can learn more at  https://www.blissretreats.com/weight-loss
