Tap Your Back Pain Away.

This technique actually relates to acupuncture, which we will no doubt look into in future posts. It’s called EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves not needles, but tapping various acupuncture points whilst at the same time focussing on an upsetting feeling or memory.

In the story I found on prweb.com it is claimed that this can produce often dramatic results. This technique was first found to help stress, anxiety and depression. However others are focussing on physical pain whilst tapping and finding that too is dissolving, sometimes permanently. 

Hertfordshire-based therapist Peter Donn first came across this technique back in 2003. He subsequently trained in both EFT and TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and started treating people professionally.

He offers one day workshops teaching the techniques, and the results do seem impressive. Including one lady who had suffered 18 years of back pain requiring daily pain-killers whose pain disappeared during her first session and hadn’t returned a week later. 


Another participant at this workshop said 12 years of back and neck stiffness had disappeared (and remained gone three months later).

Sounds impressive, and I’m all in favour of non-invasive treatments where at all possible. If you want to read the whole thing go here.
