Hi everyone
I just wanted to share my experiences with Rhys and Pax Bodywork and the changes I have seen in myself. I am in my 50’s, I have had long term pain and stiffness in my neck and hips due to an accident 25 years ago, I am dyslexic and to boot have a diagnosis of PTSD from childhood trauma which has caused me to hold a lot of tension in my body, not be at home in my body, get anxious and I found it hard to stay grounded in certain situations.
At the end of 2019 I was looking for something that could support me from many dimensions to heal, rebalance and release emotions, memories, pain (physical and emotional). I wanted something physically based that could help unlock what I felt stored/ stuck in my body. Someone I knew referred me to Rhys.
Rhys is such as nice, gentle person who is very passionate about what he can offer. When I explained what I was after he suggested that it would be important to create a level of trust first before we could start working at some of underlying causes and he created a space that enabled this.
I have now been receiving regular treatments from him for over a year. The treatments are really relaxing and done fully clothed. Fourteen months on I feel like a new person. My hips are now level and I rarely get pain in them, this has helped straighten my spine which has taken tension out of my back and shoulder and I no longer notice pain in my neck.
This has helped me to pick up more exercise and I feel much stronger in my core body. My body feels grounded and balanced and I feel like I am thriving.
Emotionally this process has really supported me as it has helped me become aware of where I am holding my emotions and anxiety in my body and the treatments have assisted to release these. This has made me more conscious of how I store emotions in my body during the day and has helped me find ways outside of treatment sessions to keep releasing them. The treatments have certainly assisted me (along with counselling and a lot of work on myself) become free from my past and let go trauma and the wounds created by that.
Definitely feeling happy, free, connected and grounded and pain free these days.
