studied in Finland at the University of Helsinki, and he graduated with his MD in 1973.
Due to the serious illness of his daughter, he moved to Tenerife, where he learned
Spanish and passed the Spanish medical exams at the University of La Laguna in 1976.
In 1969 he received a grant to study with Dr Henryk Seyffarth, a Norwegian neurologist.
Dr Seyffarth had developed a treatment method which used diluted local anaesthetic
infiltrations into the painful sites, which at the time were called myosis. (The therapy is
a kind of modification of the neural therapy of Dr Huneke.) In addition, Dr Seyffarth was
a pioneer in ergonomics and correct posture. At this time the author also realized the
importance of different therapeutic massage techniques, which he started to study.
In 1973 the author did a course in Chinese acupuncture with Dr Felix Man in London. In 1976 he
moved to Oslo, where he was able to study orthopaedic manual therapy (OMT) at Oslo University.
He felt that these chiropractic skills were a very important addition to his treatment arsenal.
Fort the last thirty-five years, he has had his own surgery clinic and has used the combination
technique described in this book. By working with this method, he has helped thousands of
patients to get rid of their pain, gain better bodily function, and acquire a better quality of life.
The book has been already published in Spanish.view less
