| "Last October, almost three months
ago, I slipped on our stairs in the early morning and , of course,
realized that I had hurt myself badly. However, I went back to bed and
managed to doze off. When I woke up again, I could not lift my right arm
at all. My husband, Joe Yaver, had to help me get dressed and drove me
to the emergency room. I have to say that I can’t remember ever being in
so much pain. The x-rays showed that I had dislocated my right shoulder. My arm was in a sling for days, and life was awkward to say the least, especially since I am right handed. I couldn’t move my arm, shoulder, head, or neck without pain and sleeping was a big problem, as I could not lie on my right side or turn my arm without piercing pain. Needless to say, when you don’t sleep properly and you are in pain, you become rather irritable and short tempered - not so easy for your family to deal with! Thank goodness for good friends: My friend, Jean Gorton, seeing the misery I was in she recommended that I go see Rick Phan, who had helped her greatly. I took her advice and am very happy to say that after just six treatments I have improved significantly. I am very happy with the results. Since the injury I have only seen Rick and my family physician, who told me the other day that he thought I had made a remarkable progress in such a short time. Needless to say, he was very pleased with the result of my massage treatments. After a total of 18 visits, Rick and I have concluded that treatment is no longer needed. My shoulder, back, and neck are back to normal, and I move without constraint and have even resumed my classes in water aerobics. A total relief from pain, I feel great again, have more energy, and enjoy moving around without pain. Rick is an excellent massage therapist, and I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in pain to seek Rick Phan’s help.". -Agnete Yaver, Retired, Bellingham, WA |

| Today was my first visit to see
Rick Phan. Our friend Susie Pierce recommended Rick to both my husband
Alec and I. Right now I am very uncomfortable. I have suffered from
intermittent tightness in my back near my right shoulder blade for
approximately six years. Also, during these episodes my right fingers
would fall asleep. However, for the last two weeks, I have been
experiencing pain in my back that runs through my shoulder and down my
arm and into my fingers. My spine feels all out of joint and my neck is
extremely tight. Need I say that I am horribly crabby as well? Rick is extremely confident that he can help. He put me on a schedule of two massages a week for six weeks. I’m very excited to get started and find relief. I’ve now had eleven massages and have one more to go. I’ll start by
saying that I feel great! Progressively throughout my six weeks of
treatment the pain in my back and neck subsided. Numbness and tingling
in my right fingers, my fingers have not fallen asleep for several days
now. I am back to feeling comfortable in my own skin. My crabbiness is
all gone and I have developed a new friend. I will recommend Rick Phan
to anyone. Thanks Rick! |

For many years I have suffered from neck, shoulder
and forearm pain as well as upper and lower back pain. I have had
physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care and have used over
the counter pain relievers to try to alleviate the pain. At varying
times I would be relieved for a short term, but the pain would always
return. |
