This has made such a difference and I can really recommend it to anyone in pain.” IP
7.10 Peter from
7.09 Gwyneth from Ceredigion writes “Before treatment my back was extremely stiff and painful, especially first thing in the morning. SInce treatment the stiffness is much reduced, and I have considerably less pain. This is the only treatment to have given me hope for a less painful future.” BHR
7.08 Josephine from Mid Wales writes “Treatment released a lot of tension over whole back area.

I find I need this treatment periodically to maintain the flexibility and suppleness of my spine as I have at least three trouble spots which affect my posture.

April 2002 - June 2002

5.13 Lilian from Mid Wales writes “I can do a certain amount of gardening without feeling I cannot straighten up afterwards. I try to keep my back straight at all times.” BHR
5.12 Pat from Mid Wales writes “It has given instant ease of pain, more flexibility of movement. It helps the deportment plus gives one a better sense of well-being. An excellent treatment for instant relief of backache.” BHR
5.11 Elizabeth from Worcester Park writes “Reduced pain, loosened back and straightened it. I felt straight and taller. Relaxed muscles.” IP
5.10 Mandy from Margate, Tasmania writes “Although I didn’t have any real back pain, I have a slight curvature of the spine that I was previously told could not be straightened. The PAM has straightened my spine, relieving a slight stiffness and my back does not get as tired as easily as it used to. This gives me more peace of mind that I will not have so many problems down the track when I am older.” JM
5.09 Kathleen from Claremont, Tasmania says “Stiffness and pain are relieved immediately. Walking is freer and easier. During the PAM treatment the spine feels as though it is being massaged. In short I get instant relief from the treatment.” JM

5.05 Caron from Mottingham writes “Having tried all other forms of back treatment bar hospital opration, I tried PAM as a last resort. The rsults have been amazing. No longer do I have a “nobbly” spine and constant ache when walking, exercising etc. My spine is straighter, digestion easier and no pain at all.” IP

5.02 Justina from Tasmania writes “Quicker results - no after discomfort. Treatment just about instant.” JM
5.01 Tony from Mid Wales writes “An orthopedic surgeon has suggested that the only solution to my back problem is surgery. Unfortunately his view of my back problem is not a holistic one and hence I regard surgery as too risky. The PAM treatment is a holistic view of the back and has given me back pain relief and consequential sciatic pain relief in my foot. The resultant increased flexibility of my back has allowed me to maintain a rigorous exercise routine which allows me to build fitness which also benefits my back.” BHR
January 2002 - March 2002
4.31 Jim from Cradoc writes “It gives me a great quality of life almost pain-free by keeping my neck back and hips correctly aligned, and reduces tension in associated muscles and tendons.

4.30 Roy from Toroona writes “More movement now in the neck and less lower back pain.” JM

4.15 Nick from Gwynedd writes “Before treatment I was in so much pain that I could hardly walk. Three PAM sessions later and I was back on my feet and back to work. Treatment got to the root of the problem rather than just relieving the symptoms. (Feels great too!!!)” BHR

4.13 Anne from Manchester writes “Quite a lot of relief. Gained more mobility” SA
4.12 Ann from Cardiganshire writes “I am now pain-free for most of the time, I can stand up straight rather than round-shouldered. I was previously conscious of myself gradually curling forward to try to counteract the pain” BHR
4.11 Mr Wright from Sandy Bay, Tasmania writes “While I continue to suffer mild pain in my lower and mid back, the treatment has taken the “sting” out of the pain. I was not looking forward to a life with the pain I had. The PAM treatment every three months has helped greatly.” JM
4.10 Rachel from Tunbridge Wells writes “Released tension, massive reduction in pain. I am now walking tall and can pick up my daughter without dreading it.” IP

4.01 Catherine from South London writes “I would well recommend the “PAM treatment” as having seen Irene only a couple of times I felt considerably better than usual.

3.27 David from Manchester writes “Two treatments with PAM a vast improvement” SA

3.24 Paul from Ceredigion writes “My chronic pain has gone, my spine is loosely more flexible. I an now bend further and twist/rotate with comfort and without fear! In the morning I swing legs out of bed and stand up, which I haven’t been able to do for many years. Life is transformed.” BHR
3.23 Piers from London writes “It has removed all the stresses and muscle spasms in my back and it is now pain free and flexible.” IP
3.22 Richard from Sheffield says “After a particularly severe episode of back trouble in November 2000, conventional physiotherapy helped initially but then I began to feel that my back was getting worse again and at the same time the physio was telling me there was nothing more she could do to help. Since embarking on the PAM treatment there has been slow but steady improvement to the extent that I am now almost back to normal.” JW
3.21 Duncan from Clapham says “I thought PAM was simple, quick and painless. Very, very impressed.” IP

3.13 Mr L from Durham wrote “I am writing on behalf of my son who is only 12.We have just found out he has scoliosis and has to wear a brace. I turned to the internet in despair and the first site I found was P.A.M.’s.!! I e-mailed you and got a reply straight back with Pam Bruce's number. Michael has had his first treatment and we could see an improvement straight away. He said his back felt "lighter and easier to move". We are feeling very hopeful this treatment is going to work after such a good start.We will keep you informed with his progress.” PB
3.12 Madeleine from South London writes “It has significantly reduced pain levels from scoliosis and has even begun to straighten my spine.” IP

I have discovered that I can have PAM treatment sooner (while my back is still very painful and tender) for there is no outside manipulative twisting of my back or body.In other tratments where it is a massage followed by twisting (if this the right word) I tense up and resist because of the pain.” BHR
3.6 Elaine from Mid Wales who has been having back problems for over 20 years says “...Relaxing. Informative on posture & walking - good practice”. BHR
3.5 Eirian from Mid Wales writes “PAM relieves tension, eases pain and stiffness and improves posture (I feel taller too!). All these things contribute to total body well-being.” BHR

3.2. Fay from Surrey who has suffered from back pain for as long as she can remember says “After each session I feel much better - muscles are more relaxed and the aches and pains are much relieved. I have had relief from severe sciatic pain, sinus (facial pain) and trigeminal neuralgia. I can wholeheartedly recommend P.A.M.” IP
3.1. Ken from Mid Wales reports feeling much better in the neck and lower back. He describes the treatment as follows:- “[1] Pam treatment located affected areas. [2] Pam treatment “loosened” affected areas.[3] Continued sessions have maintained my back in much better condition.” BHR

2.25 Alison from Ceredigion says “It has allowed me to stretch and maintain a proper posture relieving strain throughout my back.” BHR
2.24 Lorraine from Aberystwyth says “I have had traditional chiropractic treatment weekly or several times a month for several years and I experienced relief and mobility of/in my back with a few sessions of PAM that I did not notice with the traditional chiropractic treatment.” BHR
2.23 Mrs S from Gwynedd says “After 1-2 treatments any stiffness, discomfort and pain disappears. Although not a permanent cure, this treatment is incredible compared to any other I have tried. One treatment every six months should keep my symptoms at bay.” BHR
2.21 Mrs C.Evans from Aberystwyth says “I feel liberated. PAM has brought flexibility to my back that I’ve not known for a long time. An unexpected bonus was that my sinuses cleared and I now breathe easily. I’m able to do so much more and there is this great sense of well-being. BHR
2.20 Liz from Ceredigion says “Compared with conventional osteopathy, PAM is not painful - no cracks or clicks! and the improvement is instantaneous. After 20 or so years of fortnightly visits to an osteopath, since PAM I’m now down to one visit per 6 months (unless I do something silly) to make sure everything is still in its place. I recommend PAM to everyone I know who complains of back, neck, shoulder ache etc. and I can’t believe why more people don’t know about or use PAM. I personally haven’t felt so well or have so much confidence in my back for donkeys years, so much so that I’m now a part-time gardener, something I wouldn’t have thought of, or been capable of a few years ago. I have now stopped looking for any other treatment for my back and neck as I have found a method of treatment which “puts me straight”.! Many thanks to PAM’s inventor, and most of all to a practitioner who uses it like a concert pianist does a grand piano. Thanks!” BHR
2.19 Mrs Williams from Aberystwyth says “I think that people who suffer back pain need to know that this type of treatment is available. The pain relief is wonderful. It is not true that you have to live with constant suffering of back pain - this treatment really does help and should be available to all.” BHR
2.18 Ann from Mid Wales writes “Started treatment with severe continuous headaches and migraines, pain in shoulder and most of spine, very little energy. After two or three treatments energy levels increased but not sustained. Continued treatments gradually decreased pain, headaches and migraines. After three years of treatments headaches and migraines and back pain have all diminished considerably and time between treatments has now increased to 3 months. I highly recommend the treatment, it has been a long haul but well worth it. BHR
2.17 Sian from Aberystwyth says “When I first went to Bethan Humphreys Riley for treatment I had a bad back pain and could hardly walk. After two treatments I was much better and have continued to have PAM treatment every six months. In the past I have always suffered from back pain but now I am pain free.” BHR
2.16 Mr M from Aberystwyth has been suffering from back pain for over 20 years. He describes the results of the treatment as follows: “Increased mobility. Stiffness substantially decreased. Back more supple and flexible. Muscles seem to be stronger and more supportive. Posture improved and straighter when walking. Improved elasticity generally.” BHR
2.15 Mrs Evans from Mid Wales says “Prior to the treatment it was agony to sit and get up due to my sciatica. After only the first treatment I could walk and sit without too much pain. Recommended!” BHR
2.13 Mrs B from North Wales reports “I lead a very active lifestyle ie. landscaping and farming. I was physically very fit, and then through self infliction slipped two discs in my spine. For 6 months I was virtually immobile, although receiving treatment from an osteopath, who gradually brought me back to approx. 60% normality. I started p.a.m. treatment and have never looked back.“ BHR
2.12 Jennie from Mid Wales had suffered from back pain for over 30 years. She says “PAM has loosened up the part of my back that was pretty solid, resulting in much improved mobility and flexibility. Understanding my back has also resulted in my being able to rectify things myself.” She goes on to say “The most important thing for me was to be believed – for so many years I was told there was nothing wrong with my back! No GP, physiotherapist or X-ray could find anything wrong. (I had several riding accidents in my late teens.) But at times my mobility was severely impaired! (The PAM practitioner) discovered that my spine above the waist was “solid”, and told me that I was compensating for that by tensing other areas of my back. The result was that my lower back would seize up, and sometimes because of that, and my twisted posture, I couldn’t walk. Nowadays, if I feel my back stiffening I can do some stretching exercises to release my mid back, and a bit of gentle to brisk walking will loosen me up altogether. I am now 52, and face a more active and flexible future than ever I would have had without my practitioner and PAM.” BHR
2.11 Jim from Cardiganshire has been coming regularly for review treatments. He says that “It has given flexibility where there was immobility, loss of discomfort, rebalanced. I use the treatment to prevent immobility, like servicing a car. It makes me more flexible, postpones the immobility of ageing. GP’s give pain killers!” BHR
2.10 Mrs Jennings from Montgomeryshire writes “My extremely painful sciatic pain disappeared after just two treatments. I found the practitioner to be friendly, professional, and helpful. The information given was to the point and the treatment although it felt strange at first was very effective.” BHR
2.8 Tess from Mid Wales writes “Following a prolapsed lumbar disc, the treatment allowed the injury to heal quickly and has subsequently encouraged a greatly improved posture. I now feel 6 foot tall even though in reality I am only 5 foot!!” BHR
2.6 After three treatments Mr C from North Wales writes “the treatment has allowed me to return to doing all the physical things, like gardening/golf, which were too painful before.” BHR
2.5 Mr B from Mid Wales is feeling much better in the neck, lower back, arms and shoulders and hips. He says “It has straightened the spine and the muscles now respond better to some stretching exercises, thus helping to keep the back supple and stronger for a longer period.” BHR
2.4 Mr King from North London writes “No more pain in the lower back, shoulders and neck. I can now lie down on my back without being uncomfortable or in pain. Much more flexibility and whole back feels much stronger and stable. A great treatment and I would highly recommend it to anyone with back or neck problems.” BHR
2.3 Mrs H from Cardiganshire reports improvements in the head, legs, lower back and neck areas. She writes “I feel as if my back has been “unlocked” and my whole body feels much straighter. I also feel much more upright.” BHR
2.1 Mr and Mrs G. from Merseyside are pleased to have discovered PAM. Mr. G who had back pain for over 10 years reports “My doctor told me that my backpain was caused by scoliosis and nothing could be done. I was advised to take painkillers when the pain was bad. As the PAM treatment had been successful for my wife, I decided to try it. I had approximately three treatments, and two years later I am still pain-free.” Mrs G had been suffering from backpain for over 20 years, had tried a host of other treatments before discovering PAM. She says “This treatment has changed my life, before discovering PAM I had treatment from more than 20 practitioners but my condition was slowly deteriorating.
