Dear Paul,
I have just had a patient leave my practice for a follow-up visit and he accused me of doing his head in. This gentleman presented to my practice 2 weeks ago requesting orthotics. He had been involved in a MVA 23 years ago which had resulted in fractures all over his body including his right foot. He had over the years recieved orthopaedic consults which suggested extensive surgery with a 3% success rate and non-bearing for 6 months. He reported to be suffering foot pain everyday and orthotics had helped somewhat to alleviate pain. During the intial consultation mobilisation was provided and the gentleman left the clinic without pain.
Today he came in for a follow-up without pain and could not believe what has happened, he has already told many other people.
I wanted to say thankyou again, this situation is becoming somewhat the norm in my practice and word of mouth is pushing my appointment book to capacity.
All the best
Iona Millar
Dear Paul,
My wife had been troubled by sesamoid pain for several months, which at times made it very difficult to walk. I had previously attempted several orthotic adjustments, strapping techniques and physical therapies without any success. After mobilising both feet, addressing her hallucis limitis using your stretching technique, and using the Jones protocol to her sesamoid bones she is now almost completely pain free. She noticed a mild reduction in pain immediately and then over the next three days her pain all but completely resolved. I was amazed to see how much extra motion could be achieved in her great toe after such a simple stretch and could really feel it clicking with the very slow gentle movement. Thanks heaps Paul, I will definitely be implementing all your techniques in my practice.
Regards,

Dear Paul and Alex
Thank you for a wonderful workshop. It was more that interesting and informative it was inspiring. What I have learnt has taken the mystery out of scans and will be of great benefit to my patients and practice.
Thank you

my very first paying patient who received Dry Needling was a 65 year old woman who had not been able to move her 3/4/5 digits on right foot. After Tx she was able to move 4/5 very well and bend 3 for the first time in about 15 years. Very happy and astonished lady. What a buzz! Now I know why you are so passionate about this tx.

In february 2008 I learnt the foot mobilisation techniques from paul.
I have contually practised these techniques over the past 6 months and I can say that this has led me to have an increase of 40 new patients a month.
These referrals are by 'the word of mouth'.
I have attended two previous dry needling courses over the past few years that have not consolidated the knowledge and practical information I have gained with Paul last weekend.I feel very confident with my needling techniques since spending two days with Paul .Having live atheletes with dysfunction present was a great way to see the techniques in practice.
I have recently completed both your Foot Mobilization and Lower Limb Dry Needling Course, and the results I am achieving with my patients, are amazing.
Having never performed dry needling or foot mobilization before, I am astounded with the confidence I was able to leave your course with, to instantly begin using my newly learned skills.
Your teaching has not only changed the way I view the foot and body as a whole, but has also changed my approach to treating conditions dramatically. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for making the course content so interesting and memorable.
I sincerely believe all Podiatrists should be equipped with your techniques.
