"I used to have a severe headache and stiff neck due to my TMJ disorder, as well as fatigue problem. My dentist has worked on fixing my teeth and jaw problem while Else worked on my head, neck and the rest of my body to rebalance my posture and structural alignment using combined therapies. Else has "magic fingers" and a gentle touch that brought miraculous results. After every treatment with her I always feel re-energized and I can feel that my body is opening up and straightening. What really amazes me is how with such a gentle and painless touch Else has managed to heal my body, while no other physiotherapist or body worker that I've tried before has been able to do so. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is looking for an effective but gentle treatment for any physical problem. Thank you so much Else, now I can have an active life again. "

"I'm a Salsa dancer and avid athlete but sadly I hurt several of my right leg muscles due to over-exercising and was not been able to recover for almost 2 years. I tried all kinds of treatments but nothing gave me such amazing results as my treatments with Else. More importantly though, she not only improved my physical state but also my mental state. Prior to meeting Else I was really depressed because I hadn't been bale to dance or exercise for over a year due to my injury. I spent that whole year crying almost every night, unable to fall asleep due to the sadness and eventually I even started thinking about suicide. This was the worst time of my life. And to be honest, I had NEVER been depressed before. And then things got even worse! After all the suffering, one day out of nowhere, my knee popped when I was getting out of bed and suddenly I had excruciating knee pain. So now I was left with chronic hamstring, groin and hip pain as well as knee pain SO BAD, that I couldn't even stand. By the time I discovered Else's clinic, I was a complete mess both physically and even more so mentally. But Else changed all of that. First of, I must admit that I abused my body and didn't rest when the first injury happened. I kep going back to dancing way too soon and re-injuring myself. So what did Else do? She was a tough cookie and scolded me for being so bad to my body. And you know what? That was EXACTLY what I needed. Finally someone set me straight! But she wasn't all tough, she was also extremely nurturing and empathetic. I immediately felt a sense of relief and trust for Else. After giving the emotional support, she began to treat me with her combined therapies and I was amazed at the results. After the first treatment, I immediately felt more balanced both emotionally and physically. And the next day my knee pain reduced by about 60%; it was like a miracle. Then the followng day the knee pain came back again but I didn't get down about it because Else helped me to strengthen my mind. As such, I patiently waited for my next treatment with her. To make a long story short. By the 4th treatment my knee pain was COMPLETELY gone. I was flabbergasted! My other injuries also drastically improved but unfortunately since I dont' live in Singapore and had to go back home to Korea, I didn't have enough time to continue treatments. Currently I feel a 100 times better and am booking a flight back to Singapore just so I can see Else again. She is THAT amazing!!! Most people and even my doctors in Korea have never heard of the therapies that Else does and couldn't believe my amazing results, or even more so, the fact that I am paying $600 just to fly back to see her for two more treatments (especially considering the fact I am not rich), but she is worth it!!!

"Else's work and dedication as a combined therapist has done miracles to my lower back and sciatic
nerve. Together with other disciplines I experienced and took on board during the months of my '
disease', Else's work was essential to my rehabilitation of full recovery. I was told by specialist
doctors and by traditional physiotherapists in Singapore, Italy and Australia that I had to go through
surgery if I wanted to go back to a normal life. I endured the pain and chose to combine Westen
Medicine with alternative modalities which could support my natural healing. Today, after 7 months
from the first day I was stroke down by a slipped disc to my L4/5 vertebra and a consequent
stenosis, I am back to work full time, I briskly walk, swim, excercise regularly with Pilates and
Functional training: I live fully alive and healthy....without surgery!
I recommend Combined Therapies to anybody who suffer from back pain or an injury like I did
myself.
Thanks Else."

"My 12 year old son was diagnosed with bulging discs and fibromyalgia in September last year,
however after a trip to the UK and a three day course in the Lightening Process he was feeling much
better but still had lower back pain and a chronic headache that was with him 24/7 . My lovely
outgoing sporty boy was beginning to feel very down and going to school and doing the activities
that he loved was exhausting. He had a myriad of tests by a number of doctors and treatments by a
chiropractor but nobody seemed to be able to offer any relief until we found Else! I still cant believe
how i found her- simply by chance- scouring the internet looking for ideas on what treatments to try.
Else was the only one who could relieve Luke's pain. At first things just reduced a bit - but enough to
get Luke through the school day and the weeks activities. Luke could not have coped with the
constant pain had it not been for the sheer relief he experienced during Else's sessions. Over the
following weeks the severity of the pain reduced significantly and my son is laughing and smiling
and is sooooo much better. Luke and I really dont know what we would have done without Else in
those dark days- chronic head pain for a child is very scary and extremely stressful for the parents
and family - however we trusted in Else and her healing hands and we will be eternally grateful- she
is truely a caring person and a gifted practitioner and healer who is committed 100 % to helping her
patients.
After seeing her "magic" hands work on Luke - she has now weaved her magic with my arthritic
ankle, my daughter's podiarty problems and my other son's extremely tight muscles and my
husbands back!! I would urge anyone with a pain problem to go and see Else and experience the
gentle magic for yourselves."

"Since she was 7 our daughter Emily (she is now 10) had been suffering from knee and hip pain that
no one could explain. A reduced hip movement was discovered during a routine doctor's visit which
prompted further examination. She had x-rays, ultrasounds and many examinations from varied
specialists both in our home country and in Singapore. Although most specialist could see there was
a problem each one had a different opinion. Worst of all, no one could help her with the increasing
pain she suffered. As time went on she started walking with great difficulty and had to refrain from
many of the physical activities that she loves. Many nights she was kept awake from the pain and
our frustration of not being able to help our daughter started to take its toll on everyone in the
family. At times we were worried sick about her situation and we began to fear for her future.
Luckily we were introduced to Else and Emily started to have sessions 2 times a week. At first the
relief would only last half a day or a whole day. As her pain and her stiffness was so bad and had
been like that for so long we were just relieved that finally something was helping our daughter. A
half or a whole day of reduced pain was such a big relief to all of us that although the pain reduction
seemed short lived it was all worth it to us. However, as time went by the pain reduction would last
longer to the extend that she is now totally pain free and fully active again. She walks normally and
now only comes to Else for maintenance every 4-6 weeks. Probably the maintenance is not even
nessecary but we are not taking any chances of being brought back to the same situation. Better
safe than sorry. Else has been our savior and we are forever thankful for bringing back health for our
daughter. Else is incredibly patient and skill full but above all its her loving care for our daughter that
has made it such a pleasure to come for her treatments. We now recommend Else to anyone we
know who are in some kind of pain."

"A friend of mine recommended Else to me. I was in severe pain due to a degenerated disc in my
owner back, and the intense chiropractic treatment I was given, made me even worse. So I visited
Else in a very bad state. I had stiffened up and could barely sit down. My first meeting with her was
a conversation, because Else wanted the whole story of my back pains, and also to inform me about
her own approach. I decided to stop the chiropractic treatment, choosing Else's softer combined
therapy. She said, she might be able to help me improve within 5-7 treatments. This was contrary to
the chiropractor, who said I had to forever stop running, playing tennis and horseback riding, which I
loved. This made me of course very sad, as I pictured a very dull life ahead of me....
The first treatment at Else's Combined Therapies Clinic was a turning point. Else's soft approach
spotted all my aching points, and I was tremendously relieved of all my pain as I lay on her massage
table. I felt a strong sense of lightness in my whole body, and the experience made me quite
emotional, sensing a new attachment of my heels and body to the ground. I felt very energetic and
agile. Actually Else's treatment started a process that restored my body balance. After four
treatments during a period of four weeks, I was doing so well that she declared me no longer a
patient of hers. Since then I have been feeling really great. I do now have flexibility and movements
in my lower back as I haven't felt in ages, and I do exercise as much as I want to. I am deeply grateful
to her, and recommend Else's treatment to all in need."

"For many years I have had periods with dizziness, a numbness feeling in left arm and leg and
pressure-pain behind my eye. I had pain between my shoulder blades and could not sleep on my left
side. I had seen various doctors and specialists but no one could help me other than giving me pills.
I heard about Else and after just one treatment I felt so much better. After another two sessions with
this very gentle treatment all my pain and discomfort was gone. I could start exercising again! I have
more energy, and I even feel happier!
The quality of my life has definately improved in so many ways. Thank you for everything you have
done for me."

"I was suffering from neck and shoulder problems. After my last treatment at Else's clinic I felt tired
but nicely mellow, as if everything is in place ( thanks for the last tweak, it has settled my shoulder.
You have a gift, not only are you an excellent therapist you are also a very good teacher."

"I am amazed!
In May I fell off a horse and landed right back on my back and injured my T11 vertebrae of the spine.
I was hospitalised for some time and on my return to Singpaore I contacted Else to see how I should
progress from here. I have been wearing a brace for almost 3 months now supporting my back.
My whole body was like the tower of Pisa on my first visit to Else.
Just after four treatments with her holistic approach the results were amazing. I now feel so
confident that my back is healing rhe right way and soon I will be taking of my brace! Not only is Else
using her fantastic techniques but she is also the most caring and thoughtfull person one can hope
for when your life needs to get back on track after a serious injury where one could have been
paralysed!
I highly recommend Else at any time without hesitation!
Kind regards."

"Since I was a teenager I have been suffering from migraine. I have had 3-4 attacks per months until I
met Else Vistisen.
Else has given me two treatments per half a year when she has been visiting Denmark. All together
four treatments within the last year.
Already after the first treatment I could feel that the attacks became weaker. At the present
moment I have no more than one or two headaches within three months.
I hereby give my very best recommendations to Else Vistisen for her wonderful treatments."

"I called Else three days after I came home from hospital. I was in great pain and was unable to get
out of bed, sleep or do anything really. My slipped disc operation was a success, but my nerves had
been trapped for such a long time that they still gave me severe pain.
After the first treatment by Else I was able to sleep a whole night for the first time in months. After
the third treatment I was out of bed and sould walk around without pain. I just could not
understand how Else was able to help with her gentle treatment.
A few months later, Else proved again that she was able to help. I came in with a painful leg and
went out without pain.
Now I believe in Else 100% and highly recommend Else' combined techniques to everybody...
...She is amazing."
