After 2 years of various treatments on a broken collarbone with no real success I came to Philip pretty despondent. I started on the 11 session course first and the initial progress was fantastic. I continued on after the programme and still visit Philip occasionally now. For the first time in many years I have no real discomfort in my shoulder and back, which has enabled me to continue playing sports that I really thought I would have to give up. Philip has been great to deal with and good at explaining the process, I would recommend him and the Hellerwork programme to any long term pain sufferers. When
I originally entered into this work I was unsure as to what the outcome
would be although I was mindful that some change was needed in my
life. During the sessions, I felt a greater sense of 'unfolding' both
physically and emotionally as I became attuned to the integration
of both my body and mind. The whole experience has been one of the
most intense times of my life as I have gradually become more balanced,
focussed, and indeed a happier entity. Hellerwork, I believe has allowed
me to deal with stress in the most effective manner possible. I would
thoroughly recommend this to anyone who feels they
are not using their full potential. Working
in a sedentary job, and starting with a legacy of minor injuries acquired
over several years from a variety of sports, I worked with Philip with
the intent of being able to regain the ability to exercise unconstrained
by pain, particularly in the back. His work with me has allowed me to
achieve this, but also opened my awareness of the inherent connection
between physical and emotional posture. The process of learning ways
of movement is very worthwhile. My
initial sensation after treatment was amazing. I felt virtually no pain
for the first time in months. My new found knowledge has enabled me
to build awareness of appropriate breathing and posture into Through
Hellerwork, I have developed a new sense of awareness, with relaxation
as the key. I find it easier to breathe deeply as my body finds its
new balance. Philip has a relaxed style which is helpful in drawing
out long standing problems which have led to tension in the past. After
18 months on antidepressants and unrelated neck pain and spasmodic headaches
I began a course in Hellerwork. My main concern was with the headaches
and neck pain which had not been able to be diagnosed by a specialist.
About half way through the program both disappeared. Along with this
wonderful benefit was a distinct change in my posture, which is ongoing.
The increased awareness of mind and body connection has allowed me to
stop taking the antidepressants and become more relaxed and freer in
day to day living. Overall
the sessions led to an increased awareness of what connects to what
and subsequent causes and effects. The later sessions focussing on movement
have helped me to relearn what helps and hinders my journey towards
improved stability and posture. My Osteopath for many years also noticed
improvements in my spinal alignment, so highly recommended. I've
had a lot of bodywork done. My body is paralysed from the waist down,
and this, along with my innate and developed sensitivities, makes it
important to me that those who work with me are finely-tuned operators.
There's always more of me available after a session than at the start
of one. Whether ironing me out from an overindulgence of computer-work,
or helping me navigate a deep mysterious emergence, Philip has been
a true support. I'd recommend him as a bodyworker to anyone, whole-heartedly. My
new ways of standing and moving in my work are familiar to me now. At
the end of my working day I feel less tired in my feet legs and back,
and I don't experience back pain in the mornings when I wake up. My
body feels liberated, open and alive. Philip brings a unique combination
of care and skill to an extraordinary system of bodywork. |
