Surviving P. asked:Needles has received the following question, we need YOUR answers! I'm having a Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) implanted on July 14th. After having chronic diverticulitis, I had a laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy in August 2014. Since December 2014, I've been suffering with chronic abdominal pain. Every test has been done and I moved from diagnosis to just pure pain management about a year ago. Basically every doctor I've seen is just assuming it's scar tissue at this point. My hope is that maybe someone in this group has had an SCS procedure and can give me some post-op advise? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!!!

Peter P. asked:Is anyone here certified in Rolfing? Does anyone see a rolfer for bodywork? Any advice for someone who is considering taking the path? Edit: Basic training through the Rolf Institute costs $17,000; Is the ROI worth that much?Kevin M. replied:The institute has started regional trainings just this year. I believe there's one on the west coast and perhaps one in the Midwest course as mentioned above. All can be found on the Rolf.org website.

Jenn M. asked:Any recommendations for an SI practitioner near Williamsport, PA?Karin W. replied:I had to look on a map to see where this is, even though I'm from PA. Looks like it is north/central PA, a good bit north of Harrisburg. No idea who might be in that area. Did you try rolf.org, google, and iasi?Jenn M. replied:I tried rolf.org and Google. Figure some folks may not be in the directory and was hoping to score a good referral :)

Helen F. asked:Anyone have recommendations for a miraculous rolfer in Philly?Rebecca L. replied:Thanks, Scott! TC, I'm happy to talk more with you about Rolfing and your experience with it (there are lots of people who claim to do Rolfing, who are not actually trained as Rolfers). You want to seek out the real deal. You can find a listing of Rolfers on www.Rolf.org.

Susan M. asked:Personal trainer just left my house - weight training with dumbbells, some on the big exercise ball. I am totally exhausted - She is very good, but challenging, so that's what I need. I'm trying to decide whether to go to my husband's chiropractor or a massage therapist for some tight muscles I have, especially my shoulder blades. I was "rolfed" years ago, so I'm leaning toward deep massage. I don't have any spinal issues, nerve problems, or sciatica. Any opinions. It's gorgeous out - oh, and my canopy arrived -another fun project for Jim. LOLSusan M. replied:http://www.rolf.org/about Rolf Institute of Structural Integration www.rolf.org Named after its founder, Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Rolfing Structural Integration is a fo...rm of bodywork that reorganizes the connective tissues, called fascia, that permeate the entire body.See More

Ariel Z. asked:Hello LMT community, I have been a massage therapist here in Oregon for 5 years, and some burnout has set in. I am passionate about helping clients heal, yet the newbie spark has softened after these years of clinical work. Now an experienced therapist with hands that know, and practical knowledge that makes a day to day difference for clients...but a tired healers spirit. So, I am asking for some help!! I am ready to invest in renewed training this spring. I need a new school of knowledge that allows me to work smarter, not harder, connects emotional healing/physical healing while also focusing on posture and structure. I am looking for something that is a trusted modality, sought after and makes for a good return on cost/time invested. After 5 years, would like a new credential that helps establish my credibility as well. Do you have suggestions for modalities to study, world class training in the area? Thank you for your input! Ariel Zimmer, LMTKarin W. replied:www.rolf.org PS. feel free to call me if you want to chat about it. 503-230-0087. Also my site has more info, www.portlandrolfer.com. Wanted to mention, the only downside is traveling to Boulder for the training. It will be 2-3 trips, Advanced Unit 1 (2 weeks) plus 2 2-month intensives. One upside to the KMI training instead is that it's offered in Portland sometimes (and it is a solid training).
