Could 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 said he was going to kill himself, he couldn’t live with the pain any longer.

After a bad fall that injured his head and back, Torkil found it difficult to walk. He lost his balance, fell down stairs and could barely hold his daughter – not to mention the ever-growing pain.

“I could not live. I had tried everything and saw no other way out.”

Several specialists had tried their best, but were unable to find the cause of the pain, but Beinta’s mother refused to give up and started looking for answers in new research.

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

Remote treatment with Swedish innovative treatment method

Hans Bohlin at Fasciaklinikerna 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 of thousands of treatments for back pain, frozen shoulder and other conditions, he felt it was at least worth a try – 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 full night.

“Keep treating in the same way and you give the body good conditions to heal itself,” said Hans

In September 2021, Torkil and Beinta traveled to Sweden to meet Hans Bohlin and Fasciaklinikerna in real life for the first time, and Torkil is now full of confidence.

It has 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 accumulated in the body

Research in recent years has shown that fascia plays a much bigger role in 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, it is where most of our pain receptors are located and almost all communication in the body goes through the fascia.

One of the Fascia’s most important functions 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 is quite obvious. If someone gives you a light push on the shoulder, one shoulder goes backwards, the other is pushed forward, the back, hip and legs also follow in the movement and in this way the push is distributed throughout the body. In the same way, the pressure from a slap will be distributed throughout the body – and it is the Fascia that receives and relieves the pressure
