Fannie is amazing! I am looking forward to next weeks follow up visit.
Today was my first visit, for tendon issues in my hand I have had for over 2 years. We spoke for an hour and she asked questions about my medical history, and gave some suggestions. She takes a very holistic approach and explained how, for example, bruxism / jaw clenching can lead to tightness in my neck, leading down to my arms and hands. Another new idea she gave was the diaphragm pushing the brachio/clavicular area up in some women who for instance, gain weight suddenly (as in pregnancy), leading to issues like carpal tunnel.
Fannie is knowledgeable and recommended some vitamins. The acupuncture felt really good where it was causing some satisfying aching in my left hand. Otherwise, besides a minor initial prick, the end result is quite relaxing!
Thanks so much, Fannie!
