The Tomo Touch

Feb 2015

UPDATE: I cannot say enough good things about The Tomo Touch and Tomo Shimano! I had a foot injury from running in a parking lot with the wrong shoes at an exercise class, and a medical foot specialist decided I had tendonitis or a stress fracture. I spent about $2,000 getting an x-ray, an MRI, a walking boot, and eventually, special insoles for my shoes...but they still couldn't clearly and definitively diagnose me. After three weeks, my injury wasn't improving, and the doctor suggested giving me a shot and wanted to put me on anti-inflammatory and pain medication. In the meantime, I was in so much pain that I spent a few days on crutches. As a result, my neck started to hurt, so I called Tomo to see if she could help with the neck pain. While I was there, I told her about my foot, and she worked on my leg, noting that the muscles were incredibly tight. After a single visit, I was remarkably better and able to spend a full week out of the boot and without the pain I'd been in for so long. After a second visit, I can safely say that I am 99% cured of this injury. Tomo is extremely well-educated and well-trained, and she really knows what she's doing. In fact, from now on, whenever I have an injury of any kind, I'll be calling her first. She's the only one I trust to resolve injury and pain without medication (side effects, yuck!) or surgical intervention. If you do one thing to improve your health this year, I HIGHLY recommend seeing Tomo. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I went to Tomo with pain under my right shoulder blade and a problem in my hip that no one seemed to be able to solve. Within 90 minutes, I not only learned more about my body and what's been going wrong with it than I've ever learned from any practitioner or doctor, AND Tomo had done a lot of work to remedy the situation. I walked out with no pain under my shoulder blade and no pain in my hip. Over the course of the evening, my muscles, unused to being so relaxed, started to tighten up, but by morning, everything felt GOOD! I'd been in pain long enough that I forgot how good feeling good felt. Tomo is exceptional at figuring out what's causing the pain and fixing it. I'm thrilled with the results!!!
