Susan is a fantastic listener, resource, and practitioner. I only just recently started seeing her for chronic abdominal cramping I've been experiencing for the past 2 years. While my medical team continues to work on identifying the cause, one theory is that my adhesions from prior surgeries have worsened over time. And while they may not be causing obstructions, they can still cause secondary cramping.
My experience started with a 90min evaluation and Susan was so thorough in understanding my story, my medical history, and how it's impacted my life today. She then used that information to tailor her approach, while disseminating her own knowledge in the process. For example, I really didn't understand why my colorectal surgeon would send me to somewhere called "Pelvicore" as I didn't think I had any issues with my pelvic floor. Susan quickly educated me on why the pelvic floor matters in a situation like mine and it made so much sense, I couldn't believe it wasn't something that was ever explained to me before. In the eval alone I learned a great deal and I continue to reference aspects of it in my day-to-day.
I've been to 3 sessions so far and after each one I can feel a difference. I'd be remiss if I said the pain was gone. That's not the expectation for someone like me in these early stages. Rather, things are more manageable and I understand my pain in a way that my medical team could never articulate. Her breathing techniques alone have provided relief when I feel a flare coming on.
I really appreciate and respect the work that Susan is doing. I highly recommend her if you're experiencing adhesion-related pain or have a complex abdominal surgical history. I've never met anyone who understands the body the way she does.
