The Lovelight Stories Podcast | How My Massage Therapy Techniques Help My Son-in-law Live With His Paralysis | Patty Perdomo

Today on the podcast I’m welcoming Patty Perdomo. If you haven’t yet listened to the episode right before this one with Ryan and Sarah Gibson, you’ll want to do so, as this is a two-part series! Patty is Sarah’s mom! In the last episode we heard from Ryan and Sarah as they shared details of the tragic accident they endured almost a decade ago. In this episode, we get to hear from Patty through her perspective of a mother, watching her son-in-law go through this accident that ultimately left him paralyzed. In this episode, Patty gives us a glimpse into how it affected their family, and how she discovered new massage therapy techniques that could actually help Ryan feel tremendously better and live with his paralysis! You’ll also hear how Patty is now working to teach these techniques to others, so they too can help others find the relief they need too!

As you’ll hear in the episode, Patty is my massage therapist and after getting to know the story of her family and the work she’s doing, I invited her to join me on the show! This episode in some ways is a little outside of the norm for the type of stories you usually hear, as we decided to do a two-part series. After having listened to both episodes, I think you’ll appreciate hearing the story from two different perspectives, and be inspired by how Ryan and Sarah moved through their traumatic accident and by how Patty found a way to help! Together their story is one of resilience, hope, creativity, and of loving familial support too!
