NYC Medical Hypnotist Alerts NJ Nets Star Jason Kidd to the Many Benefits of Medical and Sports Hypnosis - Via Media

Medical hypnosis is an evidence-based modality. It has demonstrated that it can help people feel better, heal faster and be more effective. In fact, in a recent Wall Street Journal article (Altered States: Hypnosis Goes Mainstream, Michael Waldholz, 10/7/2003), the author cites major hospitals using hypnosis to speed up recoveries from surgery. Still, few surgeons, sports doctors and athletes are aware of its many well-documented benefits.

New York June 27, 2004 -- NYC Medical Hypnosis expert Michael Ellner is trying to alert NJ Nets star Jason Kidd to the many benefits of pre-surgery hypnosis before he has surgery next week. Ellner is convinced the hypnosis would reduce his post surgery pain and speed his recovery.

Kidd, who is considered to be the best active point guard in the game, was reduced to hobbling through the playoffs due to chronic inflammation and pain. According to Ellner, "Kidd could have been helped by Medical Hypnosis." Now, Kidd is having surgery and Ellner wants him to know that pre-surgical hypnosis can help him recover faster and give him a shot at being ready for the pre-season. "There is a growing body of evidence that hypnosis can hasten healing and help Kidd get into his mental game," Ellner explains.

Ellner, an honorary Fellow of the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association, is widely recognized as one of the country's foremost medical hypnotists and hypnosis educators. In 2003, he was honored by the International Federation of Hypnosis with their Award for Excellence in Counseling and Therapy.

Ellner is sure that if Jason Kidd contacts him, he can educate him on the healing power of hypnosis, dispel any misgivings he might have about the process, and even work without trance - by helping him, instead, to attain an enhanced state of meditation. "He has everything to gain and nothing to lose," says Ellner.

Ellner can speak extensively about the many benefits of Medical Hypnosis as well as its specific applications to Sports, and Jason Kidd. He is available for interview.
