Are you affected by chronic pain or illness? Are you experiencing little improvement or do you feel you have reached a plateau by our current treatment program? Are you sick of taking medication, with little or no benefits and risk of side effects?

Are you willing to take your pain problems to the so-called “back stores”, whose owners and staff are knowledgeable about selling you products but have virtually little education, and clinical hands-on experience treating musculoskeletal problems or chronic health issues?

Back and Body Solutions was created to fill a huge but important void in the field of treating chronic pain and illness. Our unique approach in helping our clients with their health issues focuses on four major areas:

Structural Bodywork:

Our owners and staff have thousands of hours of education and clinical hands-on experience and have successfully treated thousands of clients with injuries from auto accidents, whiplash, work injuries, falls, trauma, sport injuries, post-surgical scarring and repetitive use injuries.

Our main form of bodywork is the John F. Barnes, P.T. Myofascial Release approach, a safe gentle and consistently effective hands-on technique which provides sustained gentle pressure to release myofascial restrictions. Myofascial Release is now universally recognized as the “missing link” in healthcare.

Therapeutic Products:

Receiving effective hands-on therapy is essential but what can you do at home to keep yourself feeling better?

As practicing therapists, we have met numerous people who have gone to the “back stores” searching for answers to their pain problems and are sold expensive products by “sales staff” with no practical education or experience treating pain problems.

Back and Body Solutions carries only the best in home therapy products. We research and test these products on ourselves and our clients first and choose them based on therapeutic value, not marketing hype and promises.

Detoxification and Nutrition Support:

Since 1997, we have worked with hundreds of people who, along with chronic pain problems, are dealing with chronic health issues. Virtually all of these people are being treated in a traditional allopathic medical model with drugs and surgery. This model of medicine primarily treats symptoms without ever investigating the real causes.

A key factor with most chronic diseases is toxic overload in the body. We have found that a program of herbal detoxification, infrared sauna use and proper nutritional supplementation will drastically reduce or eliminate many chronic health issues.

There are over 500 companies marketing nutritional supplement products and many use unsubstantiated claims in their marketing. Some stores have numerous brands to choose from, creating confusion on what to buy, and are staffed by well-meaning people who are not really educated or experienced with the products.

The companies we use for our supplements are owned by doctors in the fields of both traditional and naturopathic medicine. They only use herbs from Japan and Germany and all of the ingredients are backed by published medical studies.

Self-treatment Education:

Regular self-treatment is just as important as receiving regular therapy treatments. We will have classes for self-treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fascitis and other conditions along with back care and stretching classes. Join one of our group classes or receive personal instruction from one of our personal trainers or experienced bodyworkers.

Simply put, Back and Body Solutions is the most comprehensive back and body therapy center in the Sacramento area. There is not a “back store” or therapy center that can provide you with such a unique combination of competent services and ethical marketing of therapeutic products anywhere.

ABOUT US

Back and Body Solutions is owned by Wayne Franson ( see resume ) , a nationally certified massage therapist and Myofascial Release practitioner, and his wife, Claudia Franson, a retired police officer.

OUR STORY

From 1978 to 1998, Wayne operated a successful landscape construction and maintenance company. Years of daily physical labor, plus having a genetic form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis, began to take their toll on his body. He originally sought treatment from orthopedic doctors, who did nothing more than prescribe drugs and told him to prepare for a fused spine.

Wayne decided to try chiropractic and therapeutic bodywork and was able to drastically slow down the progress of the spondylitis and eliminate medication. Needing a career change, he enrolled in massage school in 1996, completing a 500 hr program in 1998 and became nationally certified. Finding that massage didn’t address structural problems and emotional holding patterns that his clients were experiencing, he started extensive training in the John F. Barnes, P.T. Myofascial Release approach.

Wayne expanded into the day spa industry, starting BODYSPA in 1999 but had no idea of what was to grow out of it. After purchasing an inversion table at a spa industry show, many of his therapy clients wanted to purchase one for home therapy use. Later, he saw an infrared sauna at a medical pain management conference. Wayne had eliminated a 20+ year battle with irritable bowel syndrome through detoxification so he bought an infrared sauna for his patients to use in his clinic. His patients like it so much, they started buying them too.

Wayne and his wife, Claudia, started promoting the saunas and therapy equipment at home shows and health fairs with great success. But an idea started brewing in his mind.

What about creating a rehabilitative wellness center, staffed by highly trained and experienced therapists, providing effective hands-on therapeutic bodywork along with therapeutic products and education for self-treatment and home therapy, with spa treatments from around the world.

Back and Body Solutions was born in 2005 and will be growing into a new location in Sacramento.
