Don't settle for pain.

Hello, I'm Eileen Sauer, and I suffered from chronic headaches, backaches, and tiredness for over a decade (I'd been in several car accidents and bad falls, including getting thrown from a horse). I was constantly seeking treatments, with varying results, and improvements came slowly.

In 2003, I was referred to a cranial therapist who studied with Dallas Hancock, and after two sessions I was pain-free for three months.

Today I'm more than halfway through an intensive, two year program in advanced SET therapy, which took this work and brought it to a whole new level by combining cranial/structural work with the deep tissue protocols.

Why TouchRelief.com?

I'd spent 16 years in the IT industry doing software development and technical training, but after seeing amazing transformations in myself and others, I felt compelled to add a new career to the list.

Helping people with their healthcare issues requires good listening, communication, problem-solving and detective skills, and those with an extensive computer background like mine are often forced to hone these skills.

Add to this the hand/eye coordination and sensitivity of a gifted pianist (I'm a grandstudent of the famous composer Claude Debussy). Plus the compassion of one who has suffered from chronic pain...

...and the result is a healthcare professional with an unusually strong, broad background who can work with you to get back on track.

Some Results

I have:
  • helped those with fibromyalgia to sleep and to live a more normal life.
  • banished leg cramps and restless legs.
  • helped people in excruciating pain who could not walk into my office unassisted, walk out of my office on their own.
  • helped people realize, after a single session, that they didn't need cortisone shots.
  • helped marathon runners regain their effortless 20 mile runs, and golfers improve their swing.
  • added inches to peoples' height after a single head, neck and shoulder session.

The vast majority of my patients quickly discover they can come in on an as-needed basis, usually every 1 - 3 months or more (sometimes never again). In many cases their problems disappear after one or two sessions. Therefore, while I do not handle insurance cases, many patients find this to be a cost effective route as the goal is treatment with as minimal a maintenance program as possible.

SET Techniques

Structural Energetic Therapy (SET - http://www.structuralenergetictherapy.com) is the integration of Cranial/Structural techniques and soft tissue protocol, developed by Don McCann that effect long-lasting changes by addressing core postural distortions found in 90% of the population. If you have chronic back, hip, knee, calf, ankle, shoulder, neck, or headache pain, this can treat these issues. If you suffer from scoliosis, herniated/bulging discs, TMJ, or carpal tunnel, these can also be treated.

Side note: ironically, marathon runners often have serious issues with respect to this core postural distortion (e.g. the left adductors will feel like the Golden Gate Bridge). Untreated, this distortion pattern puts them in a position where they may become vulnerable to injury.

I found a similar problem at a cheerleading and dance championship event. Since we are born with this core distortion, even children have this distortion. For those active in weight-bearing activities like cheerleading and gymnastics, needless to say I was dismayed but not surprised to find a high incidence of back pain and injuries directly related to this core distortion, even at such a young age. Correcting the core distortion will go a long way to helping them improve their performance and improve their chances of remaining injury-free.

I learned in August 2005 that there are only 50 SET therapists within the US, and none in Europe.

Experts strongly recommend you drink plenty of water 24 to 48 hours after a session. This helps the body to flush out toxins released during a therapeutic session.
