BP Myotherapy was the only one that has eliminated my pain and spasms
In 1996 I was hit by a car, and BP Myotherapy was the only one that has eliminated my pain and spasms. After reading Bonnie Prudden’s book I have started doing quick fixes on and off since 1996 on friends and family, with fairly good success. And on the advice of various friends and family I went and got my Quick and Advanced fix certificates in Tucson, Arizona. My time learning from these superbly qualified teachers Enid Whittaker, Lori Drummond and Sandra Dirks was wonderful! Theoretical, practical and fun! Many thanks! 😉
