A Fibromyalgia & Bursitis Case Study
Living with fibromyalgia and hip bursitis can affect far more than pain levels. It can impact posture, movement, energy, confidence, and independence. This short case study highlights the practical, visible changes that took place over five Spinal Touch sessions, using clear markers rather than long explanations, so you can quickly see what gentle alignment work may support.
Comparing the Markers as Session 1 to the Same Markers at Session 5
| Marker | Session 1 | Session 5 |
| Fibromyalgia pain | 7/10 | 6/10 |
| Bursitis / right hip pain | 10/10 | 5/10 |
| Fatigue & Tiredness | 6/10 | 4/10 |
| Cognitive function / brain fog | Present | 2/10 |
| Daily medication use | Morning: 2 × Cocodamol 350mg & 1 × Naproxen 500mg Daytime: 2 × Cocodamol 350mg Evening: 2 × Cocodamol 350mg & 1 × Naproxen 500mg Total: 8 tablets daily | 3 days per week: 1 × Naproxen & 2 × Cocodamol 4 days per week: 2 in the morning & 2 at night Total: 3–4 tablets daily, depending on activity |
Fibromyalgia & Hip Bursitis
This case study follows a 58-year-old woman living with long-standing fibromyalgia, chronic right hip bursitis, and ongoing nervous system stress. Prior to starting Spinal Touch, she experienced widespread pain, significant fatigue, disturbed sleep, and reduced mobility. She also relied on a walking stick and regular pain medication to manage daily life.
Outcome so far
Across the first five sessions, the client has shown steady and meaningful changes. These include reductions in pain and medication use (cut medication use by 50%), improvements in posture and balance, increased energy, better sleep, and greater functional independence, including arriving at Session 5 without her walking stick. Progress has been gradual and cumulative, reflecting both the gentle nature of Spinal Touch and the long-standing nature of the conditions being supported.

Why this works
Spinal Touch is a gentle, non-forceful approach that allows the body to reorganise itself naturally. Rather than pushing or manipulating, it supports the nervous system to settle, enabling alignment changes to occur in a way the body can integrate and maintain.
