A few words about “Body Wise” with Pnina Saar

When I was told by an orthopedic back specialist that the only way to relieve my ever-increasing back pain would be major surgery, I began to actively search for other options. I tried a wide variety of different treatments, therapies and techniques, both in classes and privately, for which I paid dearly in time and money.  In many cases I got relief for an hour or so after a treatment but soon would find myself again in pain and I would have to restrict my movements even more.  Over a period of almost a year I did not improve and I began to feel rather like a cripple and frightened that I might spend the rest of my life this way.  I heard about “Body Cognition” from a friend and decided to give this a try as well. To my amazement, from the first lesson with Pnina, already I felt a real improvement and the most wonderful part was, that that improvement stayed with me. I began going to classes twice a week, learning more and more about how my body works and how to help it heal itself. With each class, I felt better and better. I continue going to weekly classes and plan to make this my routine for the long run. Today, when I feel that tiny warning pain in my back, I know what I need to do. I have “got my body back”; I lead a very active physical life.  I appreciate it more that I ever did before.   Thank you Pnina!

 I think I should go back and tell that Doctor a thing or two…
