The
first thing I want to say is that I have very little faith in chiropractors,
or in alternative medicines, or in miraculous cures. Despite the remarkable
things I had heard about Ken Moench (nicknamed, Dr. Pain) I was reluctant
to commit myself to what I thought might be quackery. It was only because
my friend, Bill Stott , insisted, and actually took me there personally,
that I went.
I suppose I was
desperate. Just as I was finally able to hit a tennis serve with some authority,
I developed a very painful muscle problem in my shoulder (actually, the
muscle that runs through the arm pit and up into the shoulder).
So I was like many other active adults in their early fifties: fit, but subject to a nagging injury that was threatening to end my tennis.
Ken Moench treated my shoulder to a series of painful (very painful) massage and stretching exercises over a 45 minute period. At the end of the session, I was remarkably free of any discomfort. I couldn't quite believe it had "worked" and I kept expecting the pain to return. In fact, I did not play tennis for two days, because I felt so good and was afraid that as soon as I hit another hard serve the pain would be back. When I began playing again, however, I had no problems, and have had none since.
I know that it may sound implausible that a single session should so thoroughly have cured so intractable a problem. But there you have it. I still don't know exactly what it is that Ken does, but I can tell you it works.
