Can the pain be in the Fascia? Family from the Faroe Islands sought help in Sweden

Beinta Lassen heard some of the worst things a mother can hear. Her son Torkil called and explained that he was going to take his own life, he couldn’t live with the pain anymore.

After a severe fall that injured both his head and back, Torkil had difficulty walking. He lost his balance, fell down stairs and could barely hold his daughter – not to mention the ever-growing pain.

“I couldn’t live. I had tried everything and saw no other way out.”

Most specialist doctors had done their best, without being able to find the cause of the pain, but mother Beinta refused to give up, and began to seek answers in new research.

“One day I found an article that said that if you have a lot of pain all over your body, and if the MRI can’t find any reason, it must be in the fascia.”

Remote treatment with an innovative Swedish treatment method

Hans Bohlin at the Fascia Clinics was surprised, to say the least, when he received a message in Danish at the end of April 2021 from a woman seeking help for her son.

With experience from thousands of treatments for back pain and frozen shoulder , he felt that it was at least worth trying – so he sent a treatment machine to the Faroe Islands.

Through instructions via Facetime, Beinta was able to treat Torkil herself and the results were surprising, to say the least. For the first time in years, Torkel was free of pain and could sleep a whole night.

“Continue to treat in the same way and you will give the body good conditions to heal itself,” said Hans

In September 2021, Torkil and Beinta went to Sweden to meet Hans Bohlin and the Fascia Clinics in real life for the first time, and Torkil is now full of faith in the future.

It’s gone so well now, and I can focus on the future and do what I want in my life, without pain. Best of all, I can be with my family.

Fascia treatment – a way to relieve the pressure that has accumulated in the body

Research in recent years shows that fascia has a much greater impact on health, aches and pains than we previously thought. Fascia is a solid and fluid network of connective tissue and fluid that envelops everything in the body, from muscles and bones to organs and cells.

The fascia accounts for more than a third of the musculoskeletal system, this is where most of our pain receptors are located and almost all communication in the body goes through the fascia.

One of the most important functions of the Fascia is to receive and relieve pressure – that is, to handle everything we expose the body to on a daily basis. Or as Hans Bohlin himself puts it.

Actually, it’s pretty obvious. If someone gives you a light push on the shoulder, one shoulder goes backwards, the other is pushed forward, the back, hips and legs also follow the movement and in this way the push is distributed over the entire body. In the same way, the pressure from a bang will be distributed over the entire body – and it is the Fascia that receives and relieves the pressure
