Prime Blueprint

Shirley Fornaseri (Massage Therapist) - Dr. Heus’ treatment and ProBodX are reflective of the integrity she has and the knowledge she possesses of the body. In addition, Dr. Heus applies what she teaches to her own life and is an inspiration to all she works with. I have never met another person that gives as much of themselves in their work.

As a body worker I find the most important part of our existence is “balance”. Dr. Heus’ program restores balance through her treatments, exercise, and guidance in diet and lifestyle. I have seen the most amazing results in myself, and others that have worked with her.

Dr. Heus’ treatment and ProBodX integrates the body and mind in ways I have never before seen. ProBodX has the unique capacity to facilitate the pumping of wastes out of the body and does not result in the accumulation of lactic acid. The program restores the health to the muscles and the body as a whole.

Sarajane Reyes (35 year old mother of two) - ProBodX has reminded my body what it was like to move with the ease and grace of a child while adding the strength, stamina, and endurance of a very competitive athlete.

Chris Donells (Arizona Diamondbacks) - I worked with Dr. Edythe Heus during the off season following shoulder surgery. The treatment, training and nutritional guidance was unlike anything I had previously experienced. Dr. Heus developed a program for me that restored my shoulder while getting me in outstanding shape. Following my physical at spring training I was told I was in the best shape of anyone. I feel like the 20 year olds!

Joaquim Cruz (Gold Medalist 800 meters) - Athletes and coaches are always searching for a unique workout that will give them the edge and differentiate themselves from other athletes. Dr. Edythe Heus has developed a breakthrough training approach that will help athletes train and compete at the highest level.

Penny Blackwell (Triple Jump) - In the course of my track and field career I have learned many physioball routines which strengthen the core. And that’s fine. But I needed something more functional …. More adapted to me and movement. ProBodX not just strengthens the core… it teaches the body proper operational alignment, correct segmental firing, and awakens muscles shutdown due to improper technique, bad posture and just plain over training. It’s almost like getting a new body…. Just on the surface with toned muscles. But getting a stronger, more beautiful body from deep down inside, right to the top of your head.

Steve Carter (49 year old, Fireman for 22 years) - I have witnessed the development of the ProBodX system over the last 5 years and have come to appreciate it’s “out of the box” approach to achieve functional performance enhancement for daily living, career longevity and sport performance. I especially appreciate the rehabilitation and preventative aspects that this functional approach delivers.

ProBodX provides a multitasking, multi system approach to the neurological and physiological development, rehabilitative and preventative needs for any one who enjoys being active.

Jill Thompson (teacher in health vocation college) - Women over 50, rejoice! As a small woman just over 50, I've begun to have concerns about developing osteoporosis and keeping myself fit for my upcoming senior years. At first I was skeptical about ProBodX, but encouraged by a friend, I decided to get the book and give it a go. I wanted an exercise program I could do at home, and this seemed to fit the bill. I got the slantboard, large gym ball, and two hand bells as my equipment and began to follow the Basic Program in the book. Wow! In two weeks my balance had improved tremendously. In four weeks my posture and alignment had improved noticeably. By six weeks I had 3 inches of increased overhead reach! I discovered this when I reached up and grabbed some mixing bowls on the second shelf of my kitchen cabinet that I used to have to stand on a foot stool to reach. Now I can reach them! My everyday movement and balance has changed tremendously. I'm much more stable on my feet when stepping in and out of the shower/tub. Since a real concern for people dealing with osteoporosis is imbalance and falling, this ProBodX program has really given me new found strength and balance and therefore more confidence in all my physical movement. All my body movements have become easier, more fluid, and also stronger. I can do the workout in my living room, rain or shine, day or night, hot weather or cold. I have finally found the perfect workout system for me. I highly encourage others to try it?

Anne Pollack (Cellist) - From the very start of my experience with ProBodX I heard my body tell me: “Yes” In my continued practice of this brilliant exercise system, I have become accustomed to my body regularly asking me for more and more!!! To have learned a series of movements that stretch me as deeply as they strengthen and tone me comes as an answer to a long search for a system of exercise that takes care of my whole being. In just two and a half weeks I lost weight and am in much better shape.. and I have noticed a drastic reduction in chronic hip, leg and shoulder pain, as well as improved posture and wonderful feeling of overall strength and centeredness.

A stunning surprise came to me from the first day of practicing of ProBodX: my bowing arm suddenly had finer articulation awakened in it, and the proper use of my shoulder muscles came without even thinking! It was as if the neurological toning had matured my cello playing, instantaneously!

Brenda K. Brashears - Probodx is like a paradigm shift for my body. As an elite cyclist for many years I feel like my body developed one dimensionally. Probodx has helped to identify and correct some muscle and joint dysfunction as well as provide an enjoyable challenge athletically.

Katherine Duncan - As a cyclist and triathlete in my mid 40s, I discovered how critical it is to maintain a certain level of fitness. ProBodx gave me a source of physical and mental power that has been a great benefit to me. There are so many types of fitness programs out there, however, ProBodx is the most intelligent and comprehensive program for overall fitness.

Kim Coulter (Outrigging Canoe Team Paddler) - ProBodX is the first program that has made an overall difference in how my body performs. Now everything I do is easier, from everyday activities to extreme sports. ProBodX will be an essential part of the rest of my life.

Ashrita Furman (Guinness Book Record Holder for the most Guinness Book world Records) - There are many doctors in this world, but few healers. Edythe Heus is a genuine healer, but something more. She is a pioneer in guiding people on the path to optimum health, fitness and well-being and I have had firsthand experience of her extraordinary talents.

I am an endurance athlete and for the last 20 years I have been challenging Guinness world records. I’ve managed to capture more than 50 official records in such diverse categories as somersaulting (12.2 miles), basketball dribbling (96.5 miles in 24 hours), backwards unicycling (53 miles) and pogostick jumping (23 miles). The feats are a bit out of the ordinary but they all require a great deal of physical stamina and unwavering concentration. In the course of training for and setting these records, I have had no major injuries, but suddenly, in October 1996, something totally unexpected happened. After an easy workout I got so nauseous and weak I could barely move and was bedridden for two days. Having endured two previous bouts of amoebic dysentery following trips to the Far East, I immediately revisited the parasitologist, but all his tests came back negative. I then went to see a renowned gastroenterologist but he too could find nothing wrong. I was encouraged to rest for a couple of weeks and train again, but within hours of exercising I suffered the same debilitating symptoms. Frustrated, I went to an internist who specializes in treating athletes and had a complete physical. The doctor was astounded at the excellent shape I was in, which made my reaction to exercise even more mystifying to him.

I get tremendous fulfillment from pursuing world records and pushing my body to its limits and I was determined to unravel this mystery. I tried alternative medical practitioners including an Ayurvedic doctor who gave me pills for my liver, a Chinese doctor who prescribed herbs, an acupuncturist, a kinesiologist and a number of chiropractors. My condition didn’t improve. Finally, a friend recommended Edythe, calling her a miracle worker. Edythe’s schedule was packed but she agreed to see me once a week on her lunch hour. I was instantly impressed by her positive and caring attitude. She asked me questions no one else had thought of asking, took copious notes and gave me tests others had completely overlooked. It was clear Edythe has a profound understanding of how the different systems of the body work and, like a detective, she began to piece the different clues together. She showed me that my ‘sudden’ affliction had actually been developing for some time, but I had been unaware of the warning signs.

Edythe’s perceptions were sometimes uncanny. She described possible injuries I might have suffered which I had completely forgotten about, like the time I was thrown off a galloping horse. Edythe also pointed out the effects of certain stresses to my system about which I was completely oblivious. She corrected my diet, gave me nutritional supplements to support my overworked adrenal glands and developed a training program to correct certain skeletal imbalances, even inventing some of the exercise herself. Within weeks I was back on the roads again and after a couple of months I was completely cured. I feel better than ever and have broken 9 records in the last two years, more than I have ever achieved in a 24 month period.

My experience with Edythe is not unique. I know several of her other patients who had been ailing from certain maladies for years, some of them quite serious, who found relief under Edythe’s loving care. I believe her success is a result of her extensive knowledge of both ancient and modern healing science, her creativity and ingenuity and her vast heart which motivates her to find solution to help people. She not only eliminates disease but teaches you how to prevent injury and achieve bountiful health. A number of my friends who are athletes have made incredible progress under her guidance.

Edythe is a visionary whose approach will eventually have a significant impact not only on sports medicine but on the entire field of health care. I will always be grateful to her for restoring my health and teaching me to listen to the wisdom inherent within my own body.


		Mark Norby (Stuntman) - I met Dr.Heus and began performing her exercise program 18 months after injuring my lower back doing stunt work. During that period I went to physical therapy, acupuncture, shiatsu, yoga, kung fu and any other form of exercise recommended to help strengthen my core. But not until I began to do the exercises that Dr. Heus prescribed, did I feel any noticeable improvement. Now it has become my staple means of stretching and strengthening, on and off the job. Her understanding of the body's energies coupled with an amazing grasp of its science are the best recipe I have found for my physical well-being. At one point in a sometimes rough vocation, I had hoped to merely maintain the conditions of various 'sore' spots, but through ProBodX I have significantly increased my strength, agility, and most especially, my balance. It has offered me an extension of my career longevity, but more importantly, a greater quality of life and health in all arenas.
