After going down the Western Medical rabbit hole to no avail, she discovered Dr. Sarno and her back pain subsided completely. But years later, when Rachel was in her Doctorate program for Physical Therapy, acute and widespread pelvic pain struck. Similar to me as well, this time she forgot all about Dr. Sarno and went full steam into traditional medicine in the hope of helping herself. When the best specialists told her there was, "nothing else they could do for her," thankfully she considered Sarno again, and this time found my work. Rachel had to confront her scientific training around the human body, and realized that there is a huge hole in so much that is taught to PTs and all medical professionals. Embracing MindBody medicine, Rachel was able to TOTALLY recover from debilitating pelvic pain, and now is a MindBody PT!
