Rachel's Journey from Chronic Pain to Recovery
Rachel, once a certified arborist, experienced a drastic shift from a physically demanding lifestyle to chronic pain and fibromyalgia diagnosis. Her journey began with knee pain from a desk job, leading her to pursue outdoor work. Despite challenges in wildland firefighting due to shoulder pain and physical limitations, her symptoms escalated, affecting multiple joints. Despite medical misdiagnoses and discouragement, Rachel's turning point came when an attentive doctor identified emotional triggers underlying her physical symptoms, leading to her discovery of the Curable app.
Curable App: Catalyst for Physical and Mental Healing
After a comprehensive evaluation of her emotional past and the Curable app's approach to addressing pain triggers, Rachel embarked on her healing journey. Skeptical yet intrigued, she delved into the app's resources and success stories before committing to the introspective work. Gradually, her physical symptoms, encompassing limb pain and muscle weakness, faded, allowing her to resume physical activities pain-free and regain confidence in her body's capabilities.
Introspective Work and Renewed Hope for the Future
Through introspective work and acknowledging past emotional stressors, Rachel experienced a newfound connection between her mental and physical well-being. Despite initial skepticism, she embraced the Curable app's approach, addressing childhood experiences and focusing on mental wellness. This shift in mindset, alongside gradual symptom relief and renewed physical capability, highlighted the powerful impact of addressing emotional triggers in alleviating chronic pain and fostering holistic healing.
Rachel had an unconventional job: climbing trees for a living. But when her knee pain and shoulder pain start to spread throughout her body, she had no choice but to stop working for several months. Plagued by tingling in her arms, back pain, neck pain, chest pain, and an array of other symptoms, Rachel was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. After the drugs she was prescribed failed to make a difference, Rachel turned to yet another physician for answers. After two hours in the doctor’s office, Rachel emerged with a new understanding of what might be causing her pain. The next day, she turned to the Curable app to see what she could do about it. Listen to hear the full story of how Rachel was able to take back control over pain, resolve nearly all of her physical symptoms, and return to the job she loves in the treetops.
