I had the good fortune of meeting Joy Waugh years ago when my then nearly 12 year old female giant schnauzer's hips began to go. Joy would perform cranio-sacral massage for her for about an hour and a half every other Monday and she would show me how to do maintenance stretching and massage in between visits. We were able to maintain my schnauzer in good health until she was one week shy of 15 years old and all that time she could run and play with dogs half her age and, until the very last days of her life more than three years later, she appeared to be pain free. Of note, the normal life span of giant schnauzers usually is 12.5 years.
Convinced of what a miracle worker Joy could be with animals, i thought she might do just as well with people and , several years later , my wife began to consult her re chronic back and hip and knee pain and, once again, Joy proved to be a miracle worker.
We have moved to Davis, California or we would still be driving to Braintree to see Ms. Waugh. I cannot recommend anyone more highly and I have done so on a number of occasions.
