Introduction by Bernard,

"If you read the final chapter of my book, Chronic Pain Self-treatment, you will fiind that my hope for the future is that people in pain will not have to treat themselves. There will be practitioners throughout the country who will know what to do to prevent chronic pain, and to properly treat and reverse it if it does occur.

However, it would take a large amount of money to train large numbers of Schatz Technique® Practitioners.  My life has been focused on helping people in pain, not in amassing wealth.  So, the money necessary to train large numbers of practitioners is not available at this time.

Right now, people with chronic pain have no choice--treat themselves or continue to suffer.  My book provides them with the information to successfully treat and reverse their pain.

There is one person who I have trained to perform all aspects of The Schatz Technique®.  She is the only person, beside myself, certified to perform The Schatz Technique® Method.  Here she is:"

Hi, I'm JoAnn M. Christy, former Registered Respiratory Therapist and currently a Certified Massage Therapist. I have also been thoroughly trained and have obtained credentials as a Certified Schatz Technique® Practitioner through a 2.5 year apprenticeship with Bernard Schatz, P.T.

Although Bernard's book Chronic Pain for Self-treatment will teach you everything you need to know to reverse your own chronic pain, my work has become known in the town of Charlottesville, VA, where I live and work.

I'm always willing to consult by email if you have specific questions regarding The Schatz Technique® Method and am available for sessions by emailing me with the form below.

If you have purchased Bernard's book, you are well on your way to reversing your own chronic pain and I wish you every success with your journey of self-healing.

Sincerely,

JoAnn M. Christy, C.S.T.P.
