Common does not mean normal

Even though many of these symptoms are commonly experienced, it is important to recognize that none of them should ever be considered normal. Some of the symptoms on this list may be relatively easy to fix, and some people find results in one session. However, some of them are not so easy and may take months to resolve. There is no guarantee that Holistic Abdominal Therapy will resolve all your symptoms; however, I find that it frequently leads to improvements, and there are often benefits beyond the initial goals.
