✨Client Spotlight: M.Z., 29 | Post-Surgical RecoverySix weeks post-surgery for a severed big toe tendon, M.Z. came in experiencing pain that had spread from her foot all the way up to her jaw, neck, and head. As a full-time working mom of two, she had no choice but to stay active—often walking on the injured foot for relief, despite doctors’ instructions.She presented with poor gait mechanics, elevated left hip and shoulder, and global muscle tension. Pain was a constant 7/10, and she could no longer enjoy yoga or feel at ease in her body.What We Did:I combined acupuncture + e-stim on her lower leg and targeted motor points (tibialis anterior, peroneus brevis, extensor/flexor hallucis longus), plus upper body points (GB 20, GB 21, UB 10) for neck and jaw tension. Soft tissue release, scraping, and mobility work supported realignment and decompression from foot to skull.Post-Session Wins: • Able to bear weight more evenly on the injured foot • Hips appeared more level and balanced • Significant reduction in pain, guarding, and emotional stressystem. Healing isn’t just local—it’s full-body. This case proves just how interconnected we are.
