Testimonials- Read it for your self
Dear Don, Thanks for developing Structural Energetic Therapy (SET) and for teaching it so thoroughly and with so much commitment. SET is the most effective and comprehensive bodywork I have ever been exposed to. I am now regularly using it in my practice to rehabilitate chronic pain and body dysfunction, and most of my clients have experienced extraordinary results since introducing it to them. I am very grateful to be enrolled in the SET Certification process, and I look forward to each weekend in Lutz and to the subsequent positive results achieved after the training.
You are the best teacher I have ever had and it is a pleasure and honor for me to be working with you. Even though it's obvious that you are very dedicated to your work and serious about teaching SET, your good sense of humor and playfulness keeps the learning process light and fun. Being able to coach us through difficult situations without ever making any of us feel wrong or stupid is very helpful and encouraging. I also especially appreciate your professionally written and illustrated training manuals that present the material in a clear and easily understood format for follow-up and study at home.
Since the four months I have been coming to Lutz for the SET training, my new skills have produced unbelievable symptom free results for many of my clients. Performing the Cranial/Structural Therapy (CST), I believe, makes a huge difference, and is paramount in producing the lasting results that I wasn't getting before using SET. Also, doing the muscle testing for evaluation to determine what my clients need and what corrections need to be made is very helpful, and most convincing to them. My work has moved up several levels because of what I have learned from you.
I consider myself fortunate to have met you and
to be working with you personally learning this powerful work. I'm
grateful for your commitment that we all know the protocol before going
home. When I leave Tampa after a weekend of intense SET training I'm
confident about performing my new skills. It feels good to know that I got
just what I came for, and I can't wait to get home and pass it on to my lucky
clients.
(Ken from Minnesota, now a Certified SET Therapist with training completed)
"I went to the SET sessions to alleviate pain in
my right forearm. The pain moved from my muscle to the tendon at the elbow joint
- tennis elbow. Outside of that these are the benefits I did receive: 1)
Balanced my hips - they were noticeably lopsided, 2) Increased my left and right
turning range of my head. 3) Improved my sitting posture to a much better
upright position, 4) Straightened my upright standing posture including
balancing my shoulders. I went to a total of 12 sessions, but these improvements
were attained by the 9th or 10th session. Even my chiropractor noticed my body
relaxed muscles."

"Over the past several decades, I have tried many approaches to ease body pain associated with an injury to the bottom of my foot. I used chiropractic, acupuncture, Tai chi, stretching exercises, energy work, and standard massage. It wasn't until I discovered Structural Energetic Therapy® that I actually got relief from chronic pain and misalignment of my entire body. As a consequence, I am finally free of most of the pain I experienced daily for over 25 years. As I am a work in progress, there is still more to resolve and I am completely confident in the process". Becky Clemments www.TheSoundHealer.com
"The summit stands at just below 10,000 feet above sea level. My climb in Nepal will almost double that to get to Mt. Everest base camp. I have to do a plug here for my massage therapists back in Florida. Many of you know that for the last year I have been struggling with knee and ankle pain that has prevented me from doing things and limited my dancing. I have been to countless massage therapists, chiropractors, doctors, and physical therapists in Boston with no relief. I finally bit the bullet and bought a plane ticket out of desperation, just before leaving on this trip, to visit my old therapists who I used after a car accident I was in several years back. After 2 sessions in a row, I am happy to say I haven't had ankle pain since! and this climb was the ULTIMATE test. There was NO WAY I would've been able to do this climb without the group from Structural Energetic Therapy®. THANK YOU! "This summit made possible by SET!" Tammy Greene - August 2007
"If given the opportunity to improve your health and the quality of life would you take it?? I did -- and am very excited about the results. I have experienced a new and different technique with Massage Therapist Greg Spindler -- SET -- Structural Energetic Therapy. SET not only relieved chronic neck and back pain, it has improved my posture, my athletic abilities and my quality of life. I now run pain free. I no longer wake up every morning with back pain. I can fully turn my neck to check my blind spot when driving. This still surprises me, because for years I have had to rotate my body to see if it was safe to change lanes. SET eliminated my headaches whether caused from tension or migraines. I have experienced approximately 1 year of SET. It is not a "magic pill" nor a quick fix for everything. Some changes are immediate, others are more subtle and can be seen over a period of time. Whether you are an athlete trying to improve your splits, want to reduce your job stress, or just improve your physical being and age more gracefully, SET is a golden opportunity - maybe it does work like magic after all!!" (Pam K, Tampa, FL)
"I started having pain, numbness and weakness of my right hand. The pain was so severe it was beginning to wake me up from sleeping several times during the night. In just a few sessions of treatment using the carpal tunnel protocol.....the pain and weakness completely subsided and my hand feels normal again." (physical therapist, Tampa, FL)
"One client was in such pain with fibromyalgia, and so depressed after being told by his doctor he would only get worse and would live on medication for the rest of his life, that he didn't want to go on. After being treated with the SET protocols he now jokes and laughs and has literally given all his medication back to his doctor because he doesn't need it anymore" (Mickey Harp, Tampa, FL)
"Since the age of 23 I have been going to a chiropractor for back, knee, neck and shoulder pain. While that helped me get through the years, the frequency and severity of the pain seemed to increase with time....and I had to give up some activities altogether. I thought I was doomed to a life of misery and inactivity, and didn't want to become addicted to pain killers. I decided to give Structural Energetic Therapy a try. I have such relief from pain that I've been able to do many of the things I thought I had given up forever, and I find myself calmer, happier, and full of the level of energy I had many years ago." (Carol G., Tampa FL)
"A client came in barely able to walk due to sciatic pain - had several weeks of chiropractic therapy and a couple of months of physical therapy with minimal results and the threat of possible surgery. After only a few treatments he was out of most of the pain, was walking without assistance, and is now ready to return to golf, fishing, etc!" (SET Therapist)
"I originally met Don and Pam at an intermediate low-back seminar where I got relief for myself, and now for my clients. The results - most of my clients walk out pain free, or somewhere between 70%-90% instant relief, but all achieved incredible reduction of the long standing pain. I felt the SET work would only benefit my practice. Along with the cranial work, the results last longer in holding the body correction, in turn keeping the client out of pain for longer periods of time. I am so glad I made the investment in the SET training to increase my knowledge, increase my practice, and save my body from over use and bad posture." (Ross Hoffman, Port St. Lucie, FL. SET Therapist Graduate)
"I feel very blessed to have SET therapy, Don, and Pam in my life. I not only feel that it has corrected a lot of tensions and patterns in my body, but also greatly enhanced my practice.....Learning SET has increased my confidence, my clientele, and awareness and sensitivity of others." ( Debra V. Port St. Lucie, FL. SET Therapist Graduate)
"My experience with SET began after I sustained head, neck,
shoulder and low back injuries in a car accident. I also developed carpal
tunnel that prevented me from working in my chosen field as a licensed massage
therapist. I was advised by a neurologist to find another career.
After months of chiropractic, neuromuscular therapy, and stretching therapy, my
injuries were no better. I was introduced to Don McCann by Pam Putnam and
the day after my first session I was amazed that I was no longer in pain and I
could move with less restriction. I was so excited that I committed to
continue the SET therapy with both Don and Pam. The strength in my hands and my body quickly
returned and I was able to consider returning to work as a therapist
again. This therapy is profound. The impact it has had on my life is
no less than 'simply a miracle'. I not only have returned to my profession
as a massage / bodywork therapist, but I am now in the learning process of the
SET training. I know that this is the cutting edge therapy of the future -
I have experienced it firsthand."
(Laurie F., Clearwater, FL. Trained in SET)
Greg Spindler is my massage therapist and has been for the last three years. I have tried a variety of methods to correct/improve my body alignment and reduce/remove various aches, pains and injuries. Since I was 10 years old, I have been a weekly client at various chiropractors with neck, back, shoulder and knee problems. I was always religious about doing whatever exercises they recommended. At one point in my early 30's, I had both an MD and a chiropractor tell me that I would soon be in a wheelchair and that I should stop all athletic activity to prolong my mobility.
"Greg began his Structural Energetic Therapy training in October of 2003. Since that time, I have only been to the chiropractor one time for a chronic neck problem, and only then because I could not get into see Greg.
"....My chronic neck and lower back problems are all exacerbated by my sports training and my computer related job. I was having severe headaches at least twice a week that would last for a day or more - the kind of headache that you go to bed with, can't sleep and still have the next morning and all day. ....I have not had a single headache since Greg has been practicing the SET methods, and I am almost totally off any type of pain medication or anti-inflammatories. I am very excited about my personal results. I can really tell an improvement in my posture and I do not have the level of chronic pain that I have lived with for years. My running is easier and my form has improved. I took 1 whole hour off my Ironman time from 2002 to 2003. Greg has improved my quality of life with SET.
"......We really 'don't' have to live with pain. I am anxious for more sessions to see just how much I can improve!" (P.K., Tampa, FL 01/15/04)
"I am writing this letter as a testimony to your expertise. Swimming, biking and running multiple races in Ironman Triathlon and am still going at it. I distinctly remember .....sharing with you the results of my MRI and x-rays of my back. The news was not good. A highly reputable orthopedic surgeon strongly recommended that I make major changes to my life style. Not only did he say I should completely quit running, he said that I was rapidly heading for surgery. I did not like what I heard and felt other options had to exist. While physical therapy was recommended to improve core strength, it did not make sense to me. That would be sound practice for a man of considerable size, but my 165-pound distance runner physique was not putting stress on my back. What did make sense was a regular commitment to intense massage therapy. I was not looking for a "feel good" massage. I was looking for something that would allow me to work with less discomfort and compete in my sport. It was then, August of 2003, when Greg [my massage therapist] introduced me to Structural Energetic Therapy. Now when I drive up and see Greg Spindler, LMT on the sign outside, I know that your services have been and continue to be instrumental in my ability to work and enjoy this great sport."
