Some years ago, and in desparation to ease a 'whiplash" injury to my neck I was advised to "go to the Hallamshire" and see Trevor.

Enquiries at the hospital of that name drew a blank and I was eventually redirected to the Hallamshire pub on West Street. I there spoke to a barman who was the Trevor in question. To cut a long story short he rubbed his hands together and placed them on my neck. They were as cold as ice. He removed his hands, rubbed them together again and applied slight pressure once more to my neck. This time there was a feeling of intense heat and I felt immediate relief from the chronic pain I had suffered for some months.

I remained pain free for a long time after that but I have never been able to rationalise how Trevor was able to generate cold and then heat merely by rubbing his hands together. Can anyone come up with an answer? Thanks anyway Trevor for the cure O.P. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

He probably was a faith healer and delt with your pains by laying of palms on you i have add this kind of healing myself at a spiritulist church and it was a wonderful soothing feeling and so relaxing. But my pains are back lol

Actually, there's a more mainstream therapy called contrast bathing which is similar in some respects.

You alternate the application of an icepack - or a bag of frozen peas at The Towers - and something warm - like a hot water bottle.

This seems to help me when I have cricked necks and such.

It sounds like Reiki treatment to me. I am going to be atuned in the next couple of weeks by my good friend who is a reiki master. She's reikied me many times when I have had back pain, and it never fails to work! :thumbsup:
