Elkhart, IN Student Comments:

Vicki Hart: I think the DVD is very valuable. It helps to see & refresh the techniques - very helpful. I used the technique for my daughter's migraines. The treatments have been very beneficial!
I work as a therapist for a mobile massage company & work closely with physical therapists & certified nurses at various industrial factories, nursing homes and corporate offices. I have learned from Dr. Rahn & applied the treatment to many different clients & have had great results alleviating pain associated with carpal tunnel & chronic pain related to work injuries.
Michael Beehler: I had CTS surgery in both hands - my left hand still hurt for 1.5 years. After one treatment from Dr. Rahn, the tingling / pain stopped & has not returned for 2 months!
Kim Salaices: My boyfriend has pain in his wrist and hands. I did some carpal tunnel treatment on him & his pain went away - it did not return for a while.
Chris Wagner: Since the first seminar I have worked on several people.............. one man had a frozen shoulder syndrome & has regained 3/4th of the movement in his shoulder and continues to improve. My sister who has had numbing & tingling in her arms / hands. I worked on both shoulders - back - neck she now has no tingling for the last 6-8 weeks. Also, a member of our church comes for work on carpal tunnel & has been very pleased with the results & strongly recommends the treatment to family & friends.
