For years, I've been walking around with back problems. A memento that I have left over from two births of my children, who were apparently in a hurry to come to this earth. For the image: my youngest is now almost 7.

For seven years I have experienced a nagging pain in my lower back. Usually present continuously, sometimes a bit more intense, and usually growing during the end of the year. Busyness, stress, a lot of driving, not enough rest, it resulted in spit a few times in December, so that I stumbled past the Christmas tree like a 90-year-old grandmother.

Cas talked about his treatment options and the complaints he could reduce or remove. Back pain was one of them.

After a pleasant conversation with Cas, I let him choose which treatment he considered most suitable for me. Fascia Release was the outcome.

In three appointments, during which Cas took ample time for me, he looked at my posture, gave me exercises and captured before and after photos.

But more importantly, he made me feel the difference after every treated body part. I don't think I've ever cried out "unbelievable, bizarre, what a difference, how is this possible" and more cries of disbelief so often.

The treatments were not always very pleasant. Some body parts were almost literally stuck. No flexibility to be found. That was different after the treatment. But on occasion I have cried that childbirth came easier to me than this.

I'm a few weeks away now. My body has had to work very hard. I felt my back take on a different position and above all: I felt a new balance arise.

My complaints are almost gone and I think that with sports and staying physically flexible this will improve even further.

Cas, you are an expert in your field and a very warm person. Thank you!
