Hal is extremely wonderful. Having constant back pain, I sought every type of solution; injections, inversion tables, medicine. Nothing seemed to help! Getting desperate I called Hal Brickman to setup an appointment. He sat me on a comfy couch and had a normal conversation. He was able to conclude that an increased amount of stress was the cause of the pain, hence nothing else was helping. With his guidance, a month later I have no back pain! I have continued to see him as I consider him a close friend now. Happy to have found him!
