A mom reports: “A neuro optometrist has been treating our son for processing issues using special prescription glasses. She initially believed there was an ‘underlying cause’ for his issues since his eyes and brain were not working well together with the glasses.
“We sought out the Gillespie Approach to see if fascial strain could be the ‘underlying cause.’ Dr. Gillespie worked out a number of extreme strain patterns in my son’s pelvis, trunk, throat, and eyes.
“We returned to the eye doctor for a follow-up visit, anxious to see if the results of Dr. Gillespie’s treatment would be reflected in my son’s eye exam. The results were nothing short of amazing. His prescription went from 150 in both lenses to .50, and he now only wears them for extended periods of reading.
“She said the results were ‘remarkable.’ We are so grateful to God for the healing that he has brought to our son through Dr. Gillespie’s treatment.”
“The tests below represent a visual of the strain patterns in his eyes before and after the Gillespie Approach.

“The image on the left is early in his eye treatment. The zig-zag and squiggly lines show his irregular eye movements missing the target lines. These results are with wearing his special glasses.
“The image in the middle is two years later. The glasses are helping to bring some areas into balance, but a lot of zig-zag and squiggly lines still reflect his irregular eye movements. Again, these results are with wearing his special glasses.
“The image on the right is another two years later and after working with Dr. Gillespie. The function dramatically increases in every area! And this test was done without wearing any glasses. The eye movement lines are smooth and directly on the target line. Prior to our appointment, Dr. Gillespie told us that there was still ‘a little bit of strain pattern in his left eye.’ I was thrilled to see that this report reflected his assessment. We’re continuing treatment to release the remaining strains.”
