This is a letter to recommend Mr. Lawrence Gold in the highest regard.
Lawrence is, by training a massage therapist and a certified Hanna Somatic
Educator. He has worked at the Wellness and Rehabilitation Center since my
coming there in August, 1996. He has assisted us in treating a very diverse
and multiple-injured patient population. The majority of the patients seen
at the Wellness Center are those who have usually defied a diagnostic agreement
amongst physicians.
His utilizing Hanna Somatic Re-education has allowed these patients to regain
what the chronicity of their injuries has taken from them. Lawrence’s treatment
techniques and keen eye in evaluation have been a key modality to restore
balance to these altered systems. Lawrence’s ability to diagnose, educate,
and restore a better understanding with patients is his best attribute. He is
well written, well-spoken, and is an asset to have as a key staff member in a
multi-disciplinary approach to musculoskeletal injury and chronic pain.
In closing, I recommend Mr. Lawrence Gold with the highest regard and would be
happy to speak to any of those reading this letter in person in more detail.
Sincerely yours,
Janine M. Talty, Doctor of Osteopathy, M.P.H., Biomechanics
Watsonville Community Hospital, California

To Whom it May Concern:
Lawrence Gold has demonstrated himself to be highly talented, capable of handling a wide range of complaints, and exceptionally thorough in his evaluation procedures, in his clinical methods, and in his documentation.
His methods have proven effective with muscular spasticity, pain, movement limitations, and paraesthesias that have not [been] resolved with standard physical therapy methods.
Based on my experience, I regard Hanna Somatic Education as an invaluable treatment option and believe that your patients would consider themselves fortunate to have his services available as a treatment option.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Bernstein, D.O., Physiatrist
Director
The Wellness and Rehabilitation Center of
Watsonville Community Hospital, California
His interest in somatic practices began in 1970, when he lost the use of his right hand due to pain diagnosed as tendinitis by his doctor. After cortisone injections and bracing failed to bring relief from the pain, he went to a Rolfer®, under whose ministrations he regained comfortable use of his hand -- and discovered the potency of Rolfing® as a path of personal growth.
