Ok, so I’m not planning to travel into space anytime soon, but what I have is pain with a capital P! The culprit is this cracked rib and it is one of the reasons that my training is at a complete standstill. What seems like constant pain has caused a lot of discomfort and has contributed to many a sleepless night.

It was when I was talking to a fellow film maker about my injury that he informed me of Scenar and he had been treated earlier in the year for a rib injury, (who would have thought that making films was so dangerous!!) He put me in touch with a local practitioner of Scenar, Sharon Ballard and i went along to find out what could be done.

The treatment available would not ‘cure’ a broken rib but had the potential to provide relief from the pain, something that over the counter medicine was failing to do, it was also possible that the treatment could accelerate the healing process of this nagging injury.

Scenar works in conjunction with the body’s nervous system and during the treatment process a cascade of neuro-peptides and endorphins (the body’s natural pharmacy), is released, and thus the body starts its own healing process relieving pain naturally without any side effects.

It worked!! Yes, I was totally amazed as after the treatment the pain had subsided, what relief!! It is important to remember that my injury is still there and that further treatments form part of a ‘course’ dependant on the individual. I am going back for a further session this afternoon and I am looking forward to more space age pain relief, as I have been in discomfort over the weekend.

This is one treatment that I can recommend to any pain suffering sports people out there; please form an orderly queue behind me!
