Janice Balsamo-Mancini Hilo, HI, USA

T-10 complete, May 1986

I was hit by a car weeks before high school graduation. I was in a coma for 10 days, suffered a TBI(tramatic brain injury)which still affects me today.
I've tried to move my legs off and on throughout the years; I found some hip movement, which I showed to my docs. I started PT, with bio-feedback and walking with braces; this showed no improvement.
I lived in Pa until I could not stand the cold anymore, so I moved with my husband and two daughters to Hawaii. In getting settled, I neglected my care till my lower back pain became intolerable. I researched the internet and found a rolfer, chiropractor and aqua therapist who all understood and believed in self-healing and the power of intention. I can now walk in water with weights and floatation belt, which will strengthen my muscles.
