Emma experienced a major shift from chronic stiffness to lasting relief after taking the JKA Solvents and Glue online workshop with Jeremy Krauss. She 'unwound' and solved a mystery of her years-long back and ankle pain through the simplicity and potency of the Jeremy Krauss Approach. Below are her words, shared with permission:
The Physical Shift: From Stiffness and Pain to Ease
Unwinding Feet / Less curled toes / Lower back less stiff / Better knees / Pain free legs
"First, the changes in my body: My lower stiff back is a bit less stiff, my curled up toes are a bit less curled up. My stiff and painful legs are not painful anymore. My knees are also a bit better. I walk better because I can unwind my feet better. The greatest changes are my whole legs; they felt the last time so stiff, unpleasant and a bit painful, and that is really gone! "
The Process: Learning JKA Solvents and Glue Online
A mirror as support + clear and precise demonstrations
"Doing a workshop on the internet without a teacher who can correct me is not an easy thing to manage. What helped me in the first place was the remark of Jeremy Krauss to use a mirror. Because if you are not conscious of what you are doing, you cannot change it, he says during the workshop. The mirror was a great support.
Another very important thing were all the demonstrations with people from the group. If he talked to a person, then I hear it as if he talks to me. And indeed many times I had the same challenges as the person he talked to. The third thing was looking very precisely at what he showed on the videos, like showing how to keep your heel high up at the back leg. All these three aspects were good conditions for me to learn. So yes, I discovered I can learn from an on-demand workshop."
The "Spiral Staircase" Epiphany
Solving the "ongoing pain" mystery by changing a 30-times-a-day habit
"I want to give you just one example how all this worked out. When I looked in the mirror during the workshop, I saw that my right ankle of my back leg was not able to go right up. But instead, the ankle moved to the right, so that my whole foot tilted to the right. It cost me some days to change that habit during the exercises.
Then I started thinking why that happened. And then after a week I realized: In my house is a very steep spiral staircase with small steps. I can only descend that staircase if I tilt my feet and ankle to the right, because the steps are so narrow. And I descend that staircase more or less 30 times a day.
I am not sure if you get what kind of staircase I talk about—you do not have that in the USA, but we have them in old houses in the Netherlands. From the time on I discovered this, I decided to descend the staircase backwards. And then the ongoing pain in my ankle going up to my knee just got less. So very surprising and unexpected changes are happening."
A Worthwhile Investment
More than worthwhile: An excellent and brilliant course that solves years of pain
"I am so happy having discovered this thanks to the workshop. I already was thinking about this pain for years, but so far I could not find out or solve it.
I could not imagine how brilliant this course is. He explains everything excellently and he shows how it is meant to be. For me, it was a lot of money, but more than worthwhile. I am very grateful for the workshop and I am going on with my JKA journey."
This is what it looks like in the course:
