The long-term benefits of MBST® therapy
"After ever-increasing pain in both knees my orthopaedist diagnosed me with advanced arthritis on both sides", says Angelika Gauss. "My condition before therapy was very bad, by night I was in pain when I turned and in certain positions my sleep was disturbed. And as if that was not enough, the pain continued in the morning and getting up without using my arms to help me, and even after walking once I was up, caused me considerable pain", she continues.
"I could still walk further than a kilometre but could no longer walk without limitations. Climbing up stairs caused only slight pain as did coming down stairs. Crouching down also caused slight pain but going over uneven ground still didn't cause any problems. You can imagine that the pain I was in did not make daily housework easy anymore."
"For me the therapy finally started working six to eight weeks after the five hour sessions of magnetic resonance therapy", reports the patient. I noticed how the pain continued to lessen during sleep and when I got up in the morning there was no pain, and standing and going over uneven ground didn't cause any problems", the 54 year old housewife and mother continued. "Crouching down however did still partly cause some slight pain, and stairs remained the same with mild pain. Only after six months of therapy did all situations where I had previously experienced pain or mild pain become problem-free. Even one year after therapy all situations in which I used to experience pain now have no problems."
She concludes: "I had never expected or hoped that only five hours of therapy for each knee joint would have such a long-term effect. On the advice of my orthopaedist I repeat the therapy every year with three hours of therapy on each knee and am practically free of pain in all situations and can continue my work as housewife and mother as normal."
