Robert,
Having a
variety of different muscular problems
and getting no relief I enlisted the
help of Robert to try a new approach.
After several visits I found my overall
well being to have improved greatly.
He’s taken the time to get to the root
of my problems and addressed them
accordingly. I was impressed with his
knowledge about different parts of the
body and how they were to be treated. I
would HIGHLY recommend his services to
anyone who wants to feel better.

It is
with great pleasure that I write this
testimonial for Robert Trevino Jr. Mr.
Trevino was referred to me by my
chiropractor, Dr Michael Duddy. I was
experiencing back and leg pain as a
result of a pinched nerve. I was also
experiencing tension pain in my neck and
shoulder area. After only one session
with Mr. Trevino I saw a tremendous
difference.
First,
the relaxation value alone was
beneficial. However, unlike most
massages, Mr. Trevino worked on the
specific area relating to my pain and
massaging of the deep tissues and
muscles worked wonders. During the
entire session he made me aware of what
he was doing and what benefits I should
expect. After each session, I
experience a definite difference in the
degree of pain in my back, leg and neck
areas. I can attest that therapeutic
massage has a place in pain management
and Mr. Trevino’s expertise in this area
served as a valuable asset in helping
me.

I highly
recommend Mr. Trevino and would
encourage anyone experiencing pain to
try therapeutic massage in combination
with conventional treatment. I
personally will continue to avail myself
of his services in the future.

Robert,
I appreciate working with you for over
the past few months. This a long
testimonial, but believe it (or not), a
very short version of my story.
People don't realize what I have gone
through to get relief for my strained
feet. When I say strained, I mean that
I could barely walk, let alone run, or
ski. Also, I developed severe lower
back chronic pain.
I am 37 years old now, but my problems
with my feet began in my mid to late
20's. I was warned by a podiatrist at
age 18 that I should wear orthotics or I
will have a lot of problems in the
future. I wore them but lost them
during my first six months in the
military. At the time my feet felt okay
so I didn't bother to get new ones.
When I was 26 or 27 I started to feel
sharp, shooting pain in my arches during
activities like roller blading, skiing,
and ballroom dancing. I felt very young
to have this happen to me. I went to
numerous foot doctors and tried all
kinds of orthotics and nothing really
provided the relief I needed to resume
these activities. I stopped altogether
ballroom dancing and rollerblading
because the pain was excruciating. I
continued to ski, but in great pain.
By the age of 35, I was fed up with all
the orthotics, and all the
recommendations for foot and ankle
surgery. My feet were now hurting ALL
THE TIME even with my orthotics. I
began to do internet searches of the
symptoms I was having, and the medical
names of the foot conditions I was
diagnosed with. I visited top-notch
foot doctors in New Hampshire and Ohio.
|
Some of my diagnoses include severe
Plantar Fasciitis, Functional Hallux
Limitus (a big-toe flexion limitation
during gait), Ankle Equinus (an ankle
dorsiflexion limitation), and a
leg-length discrepancy (short left leg). Do a
web-search and you will find that the
only available treatments are orthotics
and surgery. Some chiropractors
claim to treat many of these conditions
as well.

I traveled all the way to Cleveland to
see a new foot doctor, an
extremely bright and compassionate guy,
and he told me there was a pelvis connection.
If he never told me about the pelvis
connection, I might not have ever
discovered SET (read on). He
referred me to a chiropractor in Detroit
that said I had a jaw condition (TMJ) that was
affecting my pelvis and my feet. I took
all these clues and did some more web
searching and discovered the sacro-occipital technique (created by a
chiropractor for correction of postural
problems). I asked my chiropractor
about it and he said that was what he'd
been doing on me the entire time.
Why wasn't I getting better then?
I did more web research on
sacro-occipital and by some random
chance discovered the SET (Structural
Energetic Therapy) website. After
reading
Beyond the
Box,
things started to click. I started to
have hope.
Since there were no SET practitioners in
Connecticut, I decided that I was going
to fly to Tampa, Florida (the SET home
office), during JAN thru APRIL of 2007.
I realized that my body became this way
over many, many years, and that I was
going to have to make a commitment of
time! I already went through so much
agony, that I would only let the
creators of SET touch me. I was going
straight to the top to insure that I was
getting the best care in the field!
Pam Putnam was my therapist and worked
on me while I was down there. On
January 17th 2007, she did the
core-distortion release on me. After
the very first session, I couldn't
believe how different I felt when I got
up off the massage table. I did 13
weekly sessions with her (90 minutes
each). I was out of my orthotics the
very first day. Over those 13 weeks I
had good days and bad days. My body was
adjusting and settling into its new
alignment. I am an impatient person, so
I became frustrated. I am also someone
that has the common sense to know that
the therapy is a process! Just
like how my posture was gradually
eroding,
and pain was increasing over the years
- was a process. I had to stick
with it and commit to it!
While I was in Tampa she told me about
Robert in New Jersey. She said he is
one of their most promising students and
I should continue with him upon my
return to Connecticut. I was happy that
I could continue my SET therapy, but I
was disappointed because at that time he was still only
a student, and not yet a SET graduate/Certified
SET Therapist.
I was reluctant to go.
After two months in Connecticut, my feet
were beginning to act-up really bad
again. So I called Robert and made an
appointment. He picked up where Pam
left off, and I have improved
immensely. I continue to see Robert
weekly, and my posture is finally
holding better, and the pain in my feet
is about 80-90% less of what it was when
I first started SET....and still no
orthotics!
You have no idea how many different
types of MD's, DO's, chiropractors
(traditional chiropractors, chiropractic kinesiologists, and chiropractic
neurologists), foot doctors, osteopaths
I have seen...maybe 10 or 15! I
also tried Rolfing...I did the entire
10-series of Rolfing, and was very
disappointed.
There is nothing that even comes close
to SET in resolving chronic pain. SET
balances your body. As soon as you feel
pain coming on, get in and see a SET
practitioner. The longer you wait, the
longer it will take to reverse the
postural problems that led to all the
pain in the first place.
I believe that it is an absolute crime
that people do not know about this. Most
doctors don’t know about this! I
believe in time SET will be a mainstream
healing modality, suitably recognized
throughout this country in perhaps even
the entire world. The good news is-if
one is fortunate, if lucky enough to
have stumbled onto this website, or
ANY SET website, it could very well be
the beginning of a wonderful journey
back to a healthy and properly
functioning body.
January 5th, 2008 was the
first day I went skiing in over three
years! (Something I thought I
would never be able to do again)
