Marie Theresa Davis has been such a positive light in my life. After 2 concussions my life changed drastically living in great discomfort not being able to go out and enjoy activities I once loved, not being able to do simple daily activities without asking the help of family members. I was dealing with an overwhelming number of symptoms from dizziness, pressure in the brain, migraines, blurred vision, pressure in the eyes, oscillopsia (a condition where everything i looked at jiggles) ringing in the ears, severe neck pain, light sensitivity, internal tremors, I felt a sensation like the floor was bouncing while walking or as if I was swaying while sitting or resting Etc…Dealing with all these symptoms was so uncomfortable and scary that naturally I started to get anxiety and at times panic attacks. What was more frustrating was that after seeing numerous doctors all I got from doctors was "concussions can be complicated and hard to treat because there are so many systems in the body that are affected when the brain is injured so just go home and REST " 1 year went by 2 years went by now on my 5Th year still living in so much discomfort and doctors continue to tell me to rest or that they can’t do much after all this time your Likely to remain with these symptoms it’s called POST CONCUSSION SYNDROME or they would say "oh i feel so bad for you it must not be easy to live in so much discomfort but you look great! " I was so tired of not being taken seriously not being listened to and annoyed by everyone saying I looked great when living In what felt Like a bad dream. I was becoming very frustrating not knowing if I’d ever get my life back again or if I’d ever be able to go out for dinner or travel or have kids being Only 28 years old when the accident first happened and now 33 and still fighting to find the right treatment. At this point I knew I could no longer go back to how I used to be, but all I wanted was at least some relief from the symptoms days that were manageable. I refused to believe there was no treatment out there. I was very persistent and kept researching and researching other people’s stories who had had very similar experiences as me after a concussion and for years lived in pain and were also tossed aside from many Doctors. I finally found a new neurologist after 5 years of Seeing multiple neurologists who diagnosed me with a compressed brain stem, oscillopsia, upper cervical spine instability, binocular vision dysfunction, vestibular migraine and of course post concussive syndrome and these conditions resulted from the brain injury. I tried vestibular therapy, physical therapy and vision therapy all helped a little but none helped enough to live comfortably or be able to manage daily life tasks without help and then Marie Theresa Davis came into my life! I had come across CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY while researching treatment options for concussions. I did not know much about it but felt like this was my last resort and I had nothing to loose from trying. When I called Marie Theresa, I was in awe on how knowledgeable she was and most importantly how she took 1 hour of her time over the phone to explain to me in details on how Craniosacral therapy works. She was also the first person really listen to all my symptoms heard my story took time to understand how I got the injury and how she believed my brain was impacted and explained to me what her method of treatment would be. What is great about Marie is that she does so many other types of therapy’s, treatments and messages that she is able to tailor a very specific treatment plan incorporating several treatments into one session to tailor to your specific needs for maximum benefits. In my case she has incorporated Craniosacral therapy for total body rebalance as well as myofascial release for my compressed brain stem and cervical spine along with neuromuscular massage and lymphatic drainage where she has been able to release so much fluid and inflammation in my brain decreasing the pressure immensely. I am finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. My symptoms have diminished remember, healing does not happen over night it is a work in progress but I have seen so many positive changes and will continue to be treated by Marie for as long as needed and will continue to also have monthly sessions even once all better to keep up with a better overall quality of life. Not only is she very knowledgeable about her treatments but she is simply a beautiful soul. Kind, loving compassionate you can really sense that her true calling and passion in life is to heal and put a smile on people’s face. A true healer with hands of an angel. Do not hesitate to call and never give up fighting for your health. There is always a solution and Marie Theresa Davis was mine let her be yours.
