______________________________________________________________________________
I am a 75 year old woman with Arthritis and Fibromyalgia. I have had Reiki treatments several times especially during flare ups. I would always find relief to carry me through those bad times. Recently after a fall I hurt my knee and back. Reiki was able to keep me going through the hectic holidays to where they are no longer a concern.
I cannot have a regular massage as I am unable to take any pressure due to my Fibromyalgia. Reiki has been a Godsend for me. I have never believed the adage of “no pain, no gain”, that is so wrong.
Give Reiki a try and you’ll never let anyone put you through pain again. Been there, done that.
