A 47-year-old osteoarthritis patient had the best experience with holistic medicine after entrusting himself to a naturopath from the AUSWEGE Foundation’s network of therapists.
The patient had been suffering from severe pain in his right knee for several years.
It was only beyond conventional medicine that Matthias, an industrial clerk from a town near Hamburg, found effective relief for his long-standing osteoarthritis at the practice of naturopath Daniel, an AUSWEGE therapist.
Three years ago, Matthias* developed osteoarthritis, accompanied by increasingly severe knee pain.
At first, he placed his hopes in conventional orthopedics: “Three injections of hyaluronic acid, outpatient rehabilitation, physiotherapy. Unfortunately, nothing helped!”
After learning about Daniel’s practice, he had three healing sessions there over three consecutive days, totaling 3.5 hours. The amazing result: “My symptoms subsided immediately. The position of my right foot improved, and my stance and gait became more stable. This alleviated my worries and fears about my knee. I do the exercises I learned regularly, although it still takes some effort at first, especially knee movements. I first need to regain complete confidence in my right knee.
After all, the (medical) opinion so far has been that the knee joint should not be bent too much under any circumstances.”
The patient also expresses his gratitude “for the excellent, sometimes very emotional, but above all very effective treatment in a pleasant atmosphere.”
What did the treatment involve? “Above all, it was a mental-spiritual treatment in two sessions – I described this to the client as ‘healing hypnosis’,” explains the alternative practitioner.
“It resolved many emotional experiences. Only in the second step did I treat the muscles in order to completely resolve the physical sequelae that had become chronic over the years.”
What happens next? “The exercises are designed to help the patient regain full confidence in his body after he had already been told he would need a knee replacement. I think the remaining deficits will soon disappear completely once the body makes full use of its self-healing potential.
Due to the long-term flexion deficit in the leg muscles, the muscle structures now need to be retrained to lengthen. Only the patient himself can initiate this – with practice, practice, practice.”
