Body Whispering - Neill

Neill had been to visit 'Mr F' to check him out on Tuesday.

"Neill ofers an Integrated Therapy approach and uses Mc Timoney-Corley Chiropractor, Equine Touch and Cranio-Sacral Therapist and Visceral, Neural, Vascular Manipulation Therapy."

Basically, I wanted to get to the root of the problem of 'Mr F's stiff backside. Neill was recommended to us by our barefoot trimmer lady. Neill has treated 'Princess Leia' twice and she seems much happier within herself.

I decided to book Neill for 'Mr F'.

I cannot really explain in words what he has done. The entire visit was a little overwhelming for myself as I kind of learnt a lot and yet at the same time it leaves me puzzled and intrigued  ...

Many refer to Neill as 'The Body Whisperer'.

While he was working on 'Mr F', Neill noticed that there was a displacement of the kidney and liver, most likely caused by a trauma some time ago. I do not know if 'Mr F' ever had a fall when he was racing, in fact I know nothing about his past except for the fact he won a few races. 

In addition, Neill also recognised and adjusted a not symetrically aligned pelvis (pointing forwards). He also checked up on 'Mr F's prostate. And then there was a bone that was assymetric in 'Mr F's anus and yes, Neill showed me where it was so that I could feel it before and after he worked on it.

The entire time 'Mr F' was looking at me as if to say: 'Is this guy ok touching me?' - 'Yes, its fine. Relax.'

'Mr F' was at times very confused and looked at me for confirmation 'hey, its still feeling odd, you letting him do it?' - 'Yes, just hang in there'. 

'Mr F' was observing Neill very intensly and examined him every now and then. It made us both smile at times to view the rather puzzled expression on 'Mr F's face. A face than then suddenly softened, as though some heavy burden fell off his shoulders, follwed by sighs of relief and much yawning. 

Whatever it was the Neill did, it seems to have had an effect.

I cannot help but ask and question everything and Neill patiently answered many of my questions. I think he realised that I was kind of hesitant in trusting that his way of work would be fruitful.

Eventually Neill thought that this was  enough for one session and that we give 'Mr F' some time to digest it all and for his body to get used to the changes. I could tell that he felt his own body was a little different now; but he seemed happy with it.

Until Neill's next visit, it is now my job to work correctly with 'Mr F'. Most of all I have to make him move from behind.

Neill also said there was nothing wrong with me riding in a bareback pad. He knows several people who have done the same for similar reasons.

One thing that was immediately noticable: 'Mr F' was carrying himself much better after the treatment, which lasted well over an hour.

Since Neill's visit I have been out riding twice and I do notice a difference, mostly when going up and downhill. He strides out nicely going up hill. And downhill his hip movements are smooth with a lovely swing. And he certainly is filling up his back, particularily the area above his shoulders which was sunken in, Neill said that I probably had the saddle placed to far foward, judging by the still vaguely visible imprint. I still feel bad about that and feel very ignorant.
