Wings,
I hear what you are saying about the difficulty of working on yourself and being able to get a spouse to understand what needs to be done. When I did this therapy on someone who had to travel a long distance to get treatment I would always show a family member or friend what they could do once they got back home. I would have them work with me on the person. By the time they went back home, the family member had the confidence and ability to do some follow-up deep muscle bodywork to aid the healing. The reality is that often times it is a burden or simply impossible to travel 100's of miles twice a month to have therapy.
Dr. Schultz says that a sick person needs to have their muscles worked and to be touched regularly. I know this is true. I have lived it.
I hope that you can find a way to experience/learn this therapy as I believe it will be a great benefit and an important GIANT step to renewing your health. All that you are doing with nutrition and other therapies will only go so far if your muscles are not working and blood and lymph can not flow or feed these areas of the body. My muscles were so 'dried up' they felt like bone. Once these muscles were 'freed' I experienced a cleansing and healing. I had blood and lymph moving and feeding areas that had been blocked for years.
You may have already found and read these newsletters with Therese Pfrimmer, but I include links to PDF files. Hers is a story of a woman who did not believe what a doctor told her and even though she did not have education or training she struggled to find the answer to her health problems and then shared what she discovered, finding a way to help thousands herself and training others to use this technique.

This is what Dr. Christopher and
Dr. Schulze have done. They share and teach what they learned working in their clinics working with real people for decades.
Wings what I can tell you is that if you massage every
inch of your body you can reach as often as you are able. You will get benefit from this. If you don't have the strength to go deeply into a muscle or can't get a good angle, it is better to do what you can than nothing. Soon you will notice that that muscle is changing and you are able to do more.
As for the technique... (when working on yourself it will most likely be easiest to use your thumb and forefinger)the basic idea is to work ACROSS a muscle from several different angles (using your right hand go across right to left and left to right with equal pressure, then using your left hand, go across the same muscle working right to left and left to right with equal pressure. Using this technique work the full length of the muscle -- NEVER work UP & DOWN on a muscle! It is good to first work a muscle not trying to go too deeply and then move on to the next muscle. Once you have covered the areas you want, go back to the first area you worked and you will find you can get deeper into the muscle and into the next muscle layer. Remember there are three layers of muscle and the deepest layer is the one that can cut off the circulation of blood and lymph flow.
The neck, shoulders,feet, stomach, legs and arms are great places to work if you can not do a full body.
If I can guide you in this technique please let me know. I hope you will find the way to the ladies in your area.. Yes, "LIFE HURDLES"... :o)
Wishing you renewed health,
Water
