After a stupidly-long marathon sit/work session on my computer, I was felled by  a nasty back muscle spasm that made me unable to move or sit without excruciating pain.  On Day 3 I met Merl and started Phoenix Wave Treatment. I was able to walk out of the first session fully erect and by the 3rd session I knew I could manage to sit through the long flights back to the US for Christmas with my daughter.  A much appreciated Christmas present that set me up for a full recovery.

 I enjoy walking for both exercise and to keep my weight down, I do like to eat a lot sometimes. I had injured my knee a number of years ago and had been told I would need surgery. My knee had gotten painful enough lately that I was starting to check into Orthopedic Surgeons and had cut way back on my walking. My wife heard of Merl’s treatment and tried it for a hip problem, it seemed to help her but I still looked at it as a hocus pocus stuff. I finally decided to try it before visiting a Doctor, so glad I did. After 3 treatments my knee is pain free and I have better movement than I have had in over 5 years.

 After undergoing recent, full hip replacement of the right hip I was having difficulty with range of motion, swelling and pain. Although I was doing physical therapy the results were very slow. As I worked on recovering from surgery and getting back to “normalcy” some of the physical therapy exercises caused stress to my right knee. Consequently I had to limit the amount of physical therapy for my hip, and start physical therapy for my knee as well. The knee problem was a major set back for the recovery of my right hip. I was afraid that I had hurt my knee to a point where I would need knee surgery. The knee pain and the hip pain were awful. They limited my ability to get around or stand. I had difficulty going up and down the stairs, getting in and out of the car. A young man that works at the Haven Spa suggested that I try this new therapy called Phoenix Wave therapy that uses electrical current to stimulate the muscles and perhaps I could get some relief. I was skeptical, a total non-believer, but I was in pain and stressed about perhaps knee surgery after a hip replacement. So, I took a shot at it. After meeting Merl and getting through the preliminaries he introduced me to the Phoenix Wave machine and went right into the first treatment, treating the piriformis muscle, for my right hip, forty minutes later I was, for the first time since surgery, without pain and had much more range of motion and ease of mobility. I had two more sessions in the weeks to come and then we focused on the right knee. I had two separate sessions for my right knee, with one session which was part in office and part on the exercise machine and the Phoenix Wave machine working together, this was the turning point for my knee. I am here to tell you that my right knee has recovered and the only thing we have done to it is the Phoenix Wave therapy. My right hip and my right knee are in very good shape and the pain is gone. I am now able to go up and down the stairs with ease and using alternating steps, can get in and out of the car with no problems at all. I just purchased a bicycle and will start a new phase in my life cycling since running is out of the question. The Phoenix Wave therapy has been a total game changer for me so far. Thank you Merl for all your help and support!

 For months I suffered from pain in my hip that radiated down my leg due to arthritis, inflammation, and a bone on bone diagnosis.  After only one treatment I was able to lift my leg without difficulty or pain.  Each successive treatment gave me more flexibility in my joints.  I am now pain free and have more energy because I am not exhausted from dealing with pain. I am so thankful this therapy is available in Boquete.
