Earlier this year I consulted a specialist in Marbella about my knee joint. I was advised that the only option to repair the cartilage damage was a stem cell implant with a keyhole operation. That did not trouble me too much but the thought of eight weeks or more on crutches and a bill of some 16,000 euros did.

When you asked me if I would like to be one of your first MRT patients, I felt that I had little to lose. During the course of the treatment, I had the time to relax and read a book, something that I have not had the time to do in recent years.

The clicking in my knee has stopped and it no longer troubles me like it did. The problem has simply faded away and I give it little thought now.

I am sure that as more people discover the advantages of MRT, that operations and long recovery times will be a thing of the past.

Thanks again.

I started my MBST treatment on 3rd July, 9 in all. This treatment was for my lumber spine.

On the 2nd day I had an increase in pain which only lasted a few days. During the treatment I definately felt my back improving, although I was tired at times, my back was less stiff, getting out of bed was getting easier by the day and getting in and out of the car too. Two weeks after compleating the treatment, I felt my back was becoming much stronger, this was also noticed by my Pilates teacher. My husband said that I was much happier and less frazzled! I was also feeling much taller.

3 weeks after completing my treatment I was able to drive from Estepona town to Marbella. Something that I had been unable to do for at least a year. Of course this gave me a real boost and I felt much more positive about everything.I was much happier and had more energy. 2 months after finishing my treatment I was able to drive for an hour and get out of the car without being stiff and walking stiffly.

Now 3 months since finishing the treatment I´m very pleased with the result.

I started my MBST treatment on my right knee on 23rd July. 5 treatments. On the third day I did get an increase of pain, however after this I could definately feel that the treatment was working.Going up and down stairs became easier even during the week of treatment.

The week after finishing the treatment the knee was stronger and I had no pain. The 3rd week I was able to go up and down stairs without using the handrail. This was just fantastic as before I had to pull myself up the stairs. Now 3 months since finishing the treatment I can go up and down stairs without pain, my knee feels much stronger. I now do not look at stairs or steps as though they are Mount Everest, and asking "is there a lift or alternate route?". I am very pleased with the result.

I started MBST treatment for oesteoporosis on 20th August. This was 10 treatments. During the 2 weeks my whole body ached and I was extremely tired and for a couple of days after. Other than that I did not have any reaction. I had my bone density scan in November and the improvement is dramatic!

After playing squash for the past 25 years, the wear and tear on my knees manifested itself with cartilage trouble in my right knee. Some 10 years ago I underwent keyhole surgery on my right knee. After the operation my knee seemed fine and I returned to playing squash only to experience severe pain 2 years after the operation in the same knee again. This lead to a further cartilage operation and again after the operation it was fine. I gave up squash and have never played since. However, over the past 8 years, joint pain in both knees has gradually developed and is present 24 hours a day. I experience extreme and severe pain when walking down an incline with a stabbing/shooting pain in each knee as I planted each foot on the floor to walk. Also, I found kneeling and getting up to be painful and difficult. Each of my knees became permanently swollen to the extent that I could not see the definition of my knee caps.

In October 2007, I was in Spain and heard a radio interview with a lady called Estelle Mitchell from the Bodyworks in San Pedro near Marbella. I was so impressed with the information on the programme that I booked for Magnetic Resonance Treatment (MRT) on my left knee, as this was giving me severe pain and discomfort at the time. I had a 1 hour treatment each day for 5 consecutive days. In this short time, the difference was unbelievable. My knee became less swollen, the pain previously experienced in walking disappeared and I felt an improvement in my well-being. On the strength of these results, I booked to have the same treatment on my left knee and the results were just as stunning. I now have no pain in walking up or down hills and can kneel and stand without assistance.

My treatment took place in October 2007 and I have been free of pain ever since. I tell my friends it's just like someone has given me a new pair of knees.

On my experience of this treatment I would strongly recommend anyone with joint pains to try this wonderful treatment and enjoy the relief from pain as I have.

There is nothing but good that I can say about the service and treatment I received at the BodyWorks Clinic. Everybody was so helpful. The diagnosis was far more detailed and helpful than those I received from the two surgeons that I have attended in the past. Estelle approached the problem from a different viewpoint to either of them, encouraging me to work on my problem rather then cut it away.

I was sceptical about the treatment, as we are with something we don’t understand, but I can honestly say that I have gone from being in constant pain and on anti-inflammatory tablets, to being practically pain free.

I have cancelled my knee replacement surgery, booked for October. I would recommend this clinic to anybody with knee problems who is considering surgery.

John and Barbara Dixon

A quick note on the MRT is that it has worked well for both of us, after about 4 to 6 weeks after the treatment the pain just fades away. We are recommending it to our friends but they don't seem easily convinced when we explain how simple the whole process is.

Fantastic piece of kit, thanks for making it available to us.

I would like to start by just saying thanks to Estelle and Bob.

Well this is my story. Last August I started to get a lot of pain in my lower back and left leg. I went back to the UK to see a physiotherapist who told me I had crushed my discs in my spine and should go and get an MRI Scan which I did. The results were the same as he told me. I could have an injection into my spine and if this did not work I would have to have an operation.

Well as luck would have it I came back to Spain still in a lot of pain and could not walk very far without stopping to get some relief. I was in bed listening to the radio and it came on about MRI scanning type treatment in Cancelada so I went over to see what it was all about. I spoke to Bob who told me he thought they could help and I made an appointment to see Estelle for an assessment. She told me all about the cartilage re-growth and said she had had some good results so I said I would have the treatments, still not sure if this was the way to go.

Well I started my treatment on the Monday - you have to have them on consecutive days. Well, when you are lying there you do wonder if this is the right treatment as you do not feel anything. At the end of the treatments I was no better but I was told it would be about 8 to10 weeks before I would see some improvement. As I was going to New York for Xmas and wanted to walk without pain, I went for physio about 5 times. I was still in a lot of pain when I went to New York but the pain started to go and by the second day there, I was free of pain and walking about 3 miles a day. It really did work on me and all I can say is thanks for giving me my life back without pain. Thanks again.

Last August I had a very painful shoulder which, after an MRI scan, was diagnosed as Tendonitis. This was causing problems with driving, sleeping, everyday movement etc.

I had 5 x 1 hour sessions, on consecutive days, of MRT. The therapy is totally painless. You just lie down, fully clothed and relax. It does make you feel a little tired and you must drink plenty of water. I saw a slight improvement after the 4th day and the tendonitis gradually improved over 2 months and I now have total recovery with 100% movement and no pain.

Estelle and her team are excellent and make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk through their door. Everything is explained in great detail and they are always ready to answer any questions you may have.

I have just finished 5 days of MRT on my lower back and am looking forward to being pain free in the next 2-3 months.

I can thoroughly recommend MRT and Bodyworks Clinic. We are fortunate to have this 21st century technology on the Costa del Sol.

Well the knee is a lot better than 4 months ago. I was skiing over New Year for 2 one hour sessions a day and that did not give me any problems. Normal walking OK, no limp and walking with full knee movement. Stairs sort of send me a signal to be careful, especially if it’s more than one flight at a time. Power walking, back up to about 5 or 6 kilometres a day but knee sometimes feels tight afterwards, so some days I give it a miss!!

Gerald

As a result of my treatment I have seen a fantastic improvement in my knee, and only after a few weeks I am now back to playing good golf without much pain or difficulty. I would recommend this treatment to anyone.

Bob Green

After MRT I rarely have pain in my knee. I am a lot more active which has enabled me to lose 2 stone!

I mentioned that I had trouble after kneeling, what I forgot to mention was that before MRT I could not kneel down at all.

Nicky Verhulst

Dear Estelle, I want to thank you and your team for your kindness and efficiency. I must say that I did not believe that there could be much improvement as my knee was so bad. But here I am a few months later, much, much better! I can walk normally again and that is great! I still feel a little bit of pain but nothing like the previous pain. Thank you sooooooo much my life has changed. I thought I would end up in a wheelchair. Now I know none of this will happen thanks to your treatment. Thank you, thank you, thank you, kind regards, Nicky.

Carol W

I found the treatment very straightforward and have been very pleased with the result. I am looking forward to having my other knee done later and feel sure that there has been considerable benefit in ease of movement of the knee. Also I no longer have the unpleasant grounching noises coming from my knee joint which I presume was from bone rubbing on bone.

Bill Bridgeman

Re my recent treatment on the MRT “MACHINE”. Thanks to the machine, I no longer suffer with any back pain and am able to play golf, my favourite pastime. My first treatment was at the end of July and thanks to the “MACHINE”, my back was pain free by the end of September, just 2 months from beginning to end.

Carol

After this recent cold weather I can report more on my hands. I have had no pain in my fingers even after playing golf on cold days. My fingers are not inflamed at the moment and have not been at all this winter. I feel as though the circulation has improved as my hands are not as cold as they used to be. Thanks for everything.

Brenda G

Since the treatment in late March the only real discomfort I have had is when I bend sometimes and there is this grating sound coming from my hip. Otherwise, I have experienced no pain, and particularly the pain in the groin which heralded the need for my first hip replacement.

Mark Graham

After running the half marathon in Rotterdam, I aggravated an existing problem with my knees and found it difficult to play Padel, which I love. I knew Estelle by reputation and decided to go for a consultation. I was very interested in the re-growth of my pounded knee cartilage using the latest Magnetic Resonance Therapy developed in Germany. My knees will never be as good as new but I believe that MRT has helped me get back to enjoying sport again.

I recommend everyone I know to consult with Estelle and the team. Even though the clinic is state of the art and very professional, it retains a family atmosphere and you feel at ease and well looked after there.

Our friends who have had treatment are also very enthusiastic about the Bodyworks Clinic and the way Estelle shares her extensive knowledge and experience with them.

For us, Bodyworks....Works, you guys are excellent.

Jenny Orr

3 months after having the treatment, I am pain free. I can sleep, walk, do all the usual things daily (showering and hair washing were very difficult, as was walking and getting into the car after being on my feet). I am absolutely certain that the MRT treatment, together with orthotics and exercise have cured the back pain from which I have been suffering for the last year and a half. Wonderful!

Brendan

I am only back in Marbella since the 29th and I have played golf again without any real problems. I have no real pain in the shoulder only some slight discomfort.

I am very pleased so far and hopefully it continues to improve over the next months. I will keep in touch and let you know. It has made a huge difference to my quality of life.

Thanks

Pat Opificios

I am really pleased with the effect and the treatment I received. This has greatly reduced the pain and has allowed more mobility in everyday life and actions.

I would recommend anyone with this kind of problem to have this treatment. The clinic have been very helpful and have explained everything clearly at all times.

Debbie

I would have no hesitation in recommending this treatment to anybody in my situation. I believe it has improved my life considerably.

Dr S

The pain is much better now.

Summer has been fine, I trained well. The therapy obviously had effect. I felt that the therapy smoothed the joint and capsule. I feel more well. I was extremely sensitive to physical exercise the first time, as you said. I have been stronger. I am walking better and much more straight. Now I am a little worse again, a little too much physical activity during the summer!

My conclusion: effective therapy.

Michelle Silver

Before MRT, I was in a lot of pain in my back and hip.

Estelle recommended MRT because I was taking the maximum amount of painkillers and even then, I was in pain. I thought I would have to live in pain forever but within a few weeks I was pain free. It was like a miracle treatment for me, and I’m so happy I tried it. The pain has never returned.

My husband says it is wonderful as he “has his wife back”.

God bless Estelle for curing me, she’s only little but blimey she’s good!
