Dear Ann, Paul and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for him.

My husband Paul had a motorcycle accident in June 2004 which resulted in a broken leg/ankle. This followed a long difficult 5 years of pain, infection and complications. Paul was unable to contribute 100% to the running of his business as he had long periods of time off sick. He had no quality of life, the pain took over and lead to depression and insomnia, we were both at breaking point, our marriage was suffering and the future was not looking good.

The pain just got worse and from March this year it became so severe that weight bearing was almost impossible. He saw a new consultant in July of this year who told Paul that he now had severe osteoarthritis and the only way to reduce the pain was to have his ankle fused. Paul was devastated at this news. The thought of another stay in hospital and running the risk of contracting another infection was high. His consultant said that if he was to contract another infection the only answer would be an amputation. Paul was determined to find another answer, he said he would explore every possible avenue before he made a decision.

It was at this time when Paul saw an article in a magazine about MBST. We had some enquiries and found Ann Clare Physiotherapy. At this point we were both extremely sceptical and didn't honestly think for one moment that it would work. After various emails and telephone calls to physiotherapist Ann Clare, it was arranged for Paul to begin his MBST treatment on the following Monday.

The treatment was completely painless and was for 1 hour each day over 5 consecutive days. On the evening after the first treatment Paul told me the searing pain that he had been having for months was gone. We both agreed that the treatment was highly unlikely to have worked this quickly, neither of us wanted to build our hopes up at this early stage! He had suffered so many knock backs over the last 5 years I was afraid it was just temporary. It was by no means temporary. Paul continued to make the most amazing progress.

Along with the MBST Ann has given Paul physiotherapy exercises, ultrasound, acupuncture and lots of advice. We have never met anybody so dedicated and enthusiastic about their work. She told Paul she would get him back to work full time by January 2010! He had another 5 day MBST course at the start of October, just as a top-up and continues to be pain free.

I know how this must read to anyone who is unaware of MBST but it worked, Paul is proof that this treatment worked. His life now - only 10 weeks on - is a world away from his/our life then. He is back to work part-time. He has exercises to do each day to help build back up his muscles, is back running his business and finishing all the building projects at home he started before the accident. He has his life back and I have my husband back! We cannot thank the MBST and Ann enough.

We want as many people as possible to know about this amazing treatment. If you or one of your patients ever want to contact us then please do not hesitate. We can never thank you enough, you mean so much to us both.
