My name is Nadezhda and I\u2019m 41 years old. I come from St. Petersburg, Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago, I consulted a neurologist because of bad neck pain. I couldn\u2019t turn my head and the left side of my head became numb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The neurologist had a CT scan of my neck done. When they gave me the contrast agent needed for the scan, I lost consciousness while I was on the drip. Then they gave me ten massage sessions and laser treatment. Each time I was also given three injections of pain killer and vitamins. It helped the pain but only for a short time. My blood pressure rose very high after each treatment. My work causes static tension in my shoulders so my head, neck, and shoulders are always sore. It also causes constant dizziness, nausea, and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next time I went to the neurologist, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the doctor prescribed blood pressure medication and antidepressants. I thought the cause of my issues was something completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I read positive reviews online for a Finnish manual therapist called Hannu Timonen. I decided to make an appointment with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained to me what was causing my pain and said it can be cured. I had his treatment four times. The first time was agonizing and the second one was quite painful, too. But the day after the second treatment, I felt like I had a new lease on life. As Hannu said, healthy muscles don\u2019t ache when he massages them, in fact, you could fall asleep in that case. But people like that don\u2019t need treatment. On the third time, I felt I could relax and on the fourth time, I nearly fell asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannu gave me home instructions for maintaining my muscle condition. The instructions were for stretching and self-massage that he demonstrates in his YouTube videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Hannu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
