Mr M collapsed at work with a serious back injury and was air ambulanced to hospital. After four hours he was sent home to rest for six weeks. No x rays or scan were carried out; he just received painkillers and advice.

I offered to go and see if I could do anything to help. He was in severe pain and bedridden, so I suggested that we tap to lessen the discomfort. He was very sceptical but was in so much pain he "would give anything a try". After the first round of tapping he experienced a rush of energy through his body that still amazes him today and after 15 minutes working with his pain and the fear of the injury he was able to get up and take a shower. I worked with him over the next couple of days and he applied the procedure himself between times, until he was able to get in a car and get to a chiropractor, as I had felt, both intuitively and as a body worker myself that his problem was in the pelvis and not the spine. Since he had his alignment corrected, this very sceptical man has had no recurrence of this injury and still uses the tapping to lessen his stresses, which were a contributing factor to the back injury.
