" Last summer I found myself at a crossroads in my life. As a result of an injury several years ago, I had been experiencing sever pain in my lower back, hips and the front of my legs. Being a very active person, and also a part-time ski instructor, this pain was preventing me from doing the kinds of things that I loved. I found this situation to be unacceptable.

On the advice of a trusted friend, I contacted Rebecca Debus. I was vaguely aware of the nature of the Hellerwork Process but not of any of the other alternative therapies that she so skillfully and caringly employs. Rebecca very quickly gained my trust and confidence because of her obvious care and concern for helping me with my pain issues. Her ability to quickly assess my needs is remarkable to say the least. She was able to identify and define my core issues and together we formed a therapeutic partnership and planned a course of treatment. Within a matter of weeks my pain had noticeably subsided. With Rebecca's help I came to understand the "whys" of my pain and for the first time I felt as though I was part of the process, not an object of the process.

At this point, I am two weeks away from beginning to teach skiing again, something that would have not been possible without her help. Rebecca has helped me to understand how to change my movement patterns and this understanding will prevent the reoccurrence of my back pain. And for the first time in a very long time, directly because of Rebecca's help, I am looking at a pain free future!

Would I recommend Rebecca Debus to people with pain issues similar to mine, absolutely! Would I recommend her to people who want to understand how the functioning of their body affects the incidence of pain in their lives, again and without reservation - ABSOLUTELY!! "

Back Pain Relief

For back pain relief (including relief from sacroiliac pain and sciatica pain) I use the tools I am guided to during a session of Life Healing. Two beneficial tools for an in-person session in the Philadelphia area are Hellerwork and Brain Therapy.

How Jessica Found "Instant Relief"

Jessica was complaining of severe hip and low back pain. As a nurse, she had to work, but was “hardly able to walk or stand up straight”. She was “barely functional” even after Chiropractic, acupuncture, muscle relaxants and narcotics.

Nothing she did gave her relief from her back pain.

During our session I balanced her energetically, opening the flow of energy from her hips through her feet, then proceeded to do Hellerwork on her hip rotaters and surrounding area.

When Jessica stood up after the session, she was amazed to have “instant relief.” The pain never returned.

Hellerwork For Back Pain Relief

I often explain the process of Hellerwork to my clients in this way:

You receive an owner’s manual with many of things you buy such as a DVD player, TV, car, or microwave and it reveals how to use the item you purchased to its maximum potential.

No one, however, received an owner’s manual for their body. We are not born with a manual telling us how to use our bodies to their maximum potential.

I see Hellerwork as that manual.

All the life healing work I do is based on the belief that the body, mind, and spirit are inseparable, and Hellerwork is a tool that integrates the body, mind, and spirit. It facilitates balance through all of these parts.

The body is a living library of everything that we have ever experienced, and these experiences actually show up in our physical structure.

When a session begins, I observe a client’s physical structure.

I see the history they carry with them emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Through the process of observing the client’s structure, I discover the areas that need to be released and restored to balance.

Next, the client will lie on a massage table and I begin to bring more balance to their body by using a variety of gentle deep-tissue bodywork techniques to realign the body and release chronic tension and stress.

Also, verbal dialogue is a powerful part of the Hellerwork process. It assists the client in becoming aware of any emotional stress that may be contributing to their physical tension.

In addition, Hellerwork educates the client in how to do everyday movements in a more balanced way. Clients learn how to use their body with more ease and balance to maintain the results of each session. Connecting movement and body alignment, allows clients to restore their natural balance.

Traditional Hellerwork is based on a series of 11 one-hour sessions.

Hellerwork Corrects Imbalances

Many new clients will come to me for relief from back pain (or sacroiliac pain or sciatica pain).

Hellerwork is very effective for back pain relief because back pain can arise from imbalances in a client's physical structure. Once clients realize more balance through the Hellerwork series, many report relief from their back pain.

Balancing the body also has helped clients with sacroiliac pain as well as sciatica pain for the same reason. A balanced body functions better with more ease and grace.

To understand how Hellerwork can help back pain, sacroiliac pain and sciatica pain, think of your car for a moment.

Yes, your car.

When you hit a pothole with your car, sometimes it will throw your car out of alignment. If you don’t get it realigned, first you will ruin your tires and eventually more serious problems will arise as the misalignment affects your suspension.

The same is true with your body.

At first misalignments may be experienced as minor aches and pains. If ignored, they may become more serious problems such as knee pain, back pain, sacroiliac pain and sciatica pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain.

Hellerwork is a powerful tool to address these problems.

Craniosacral Fascial Therapy : Another Tool
For Back Pain Relief

CSF Therapy , another method for releasing chronic tension and stress, is powerful alone or in conjunction with Hellerwork.

CSF Therapy was developed by Dr. Barry Gillespie, who saw that craniosacral, dental, and fascial aspects of the body are in reality one system.

He discovered that the integration of craniosacral, fascial, and TMJ-dental bodywork produced a powerful therapeutic effect for both children and adults.

Although CSF Therapy is effective for back pain relief, it does much more. Alone or combined with other aspects of natural care, CSF Therapy can be a beneficial modality for conditions in children as well as adults.


"...like night and day since I've seen you.
The back is great, the neck is better and
the knees are great. Thank you very much!"
