A client had been on holiday swimming with dolphins and, one day, jumped from a yacht into the water to join them. But she had landed badly, bruised her coccyx, felt strangely twisted, and had even wondered if she had cracked some ribs, as she found it difficult to breathe. It affected daily life, as it was difficult and painful even to get up from a chair.
She had had a long-standing lower back pain that resolved some years ago after a few Sukshma Marma treatments and wanted to see if Sukshma Marma Therapy could help with the current issue.
After the first session, which included a standard Marma back treatment, she felt better but the issue hadn’t completely resolved. When she came for a second treatment, we started with a simple Emotional Release Technique that Dr Schrott had shown us. It took a while to get the correct form of words but, once we found it, it worked brilliantly.
Then, during the back treatment, she seemed to jump when I was putting oil on a particular area of her back. The oil wasn’t hot, so it wasn’t that. She said that that particular area felt very sensitive – so I investigated.
There was sensitivity / tenderness around the adjacent costovertebral joint (where the rib meets the spine). I then treated the joint in the usual Sukshma Marma way – i.e. very gently – and, after a minute or so, felt a release, which the client confirmed.
After the treatment she said she could breathe normally, no longer felt twisted, and was able to get up off a chair much more easily. Sukshma Marma Therapy never ceases to amaze me. Simple, natural Marma treatments can have such profound effects.
