spiral fracture of the humerus

Finding myself heading for A&E as I sustained a very serious injury – a spiral fracture of the humerus in my arm, along with a broken bone in my shoulder and numerous very livid bruises all over my body. My first thought was “I need to see Steve as soon as possible” however, back home and a visit to hospital here confirmed I would be in a body brace for the foreseeable future. Three months on and the body brace was replaced with a removable sling with a reassurance from the consultant that I could at last seek remedial therapy. Unsure as to whether Steve could actually do anything for me, I got in touch and made an appointment. An arm that had been restrained in one position 24/7 was not going to move easily but Steve took on the challenge. With his amazing Sigma Q technology he set to work. Now I am totally ignorant as to the ins and outs of how or why this form of therapy works, I only know from past experience that it does – like a miracle. Apparently, Steve told me, I was suffering with Neuropraxia and it was making my movements very restrictive. Steve set to work on locating the affected area and after an hour of treatment he invited me to stand up and raise my arm as far as I could. Unbelievably, I could raise my arm above my head. It was as if someone had unlocked a door inside my arm. Three days on and my arm is still mobile and pain free. I had been warned by the hospital to expect many months of discomfort and recovery; I can’t wait for my next consultant appointment to show her how wrong she was – my recovery time has been halved thanks to Steve and Sigma Q.
