A lady who devoted.
over 30 years of her life
helping to relieve the pain
of others has died.
T lier,e W Ole r
(Pfrimmer) died in her
Bayfield residence on
March 11. She was 72
years old. •
The founder of the
• Pfrirnmer Clinic at RR 2,
Bayfield was known
internationally for her
unique technique called
Deep Muscle Therapy'.
The therapy, which
• Mrs. Pfrimmer taught to
over 60 peoplethroughout
the world is usedior those
• suffering from crippling
conditions.
Mrs. Pfrirnmer, who
was born in Brussels,
• Belgium, became a
registered masseuse in
1948. • She was a
child of five and a half
when the family movedto
the United States. She has
resided in Canada for the
past 48 years.
• She attended Detroit
Schools and the College of
Swedish Massage in
Chicago where she
learned she could cure
her own crippling con-
dition that had left her in
a wheelchair.
Paralyzed from the
waist down, doctors had
told Mrs. Pfrimmer that
• she would never walk
again. She had strained
all the muscles in her legs
from carrying, heavy
bags of laundry onto
ships in the Goderich
harbor when she
operated a laundry
business during the early
1940's.
Using her knowledge of
muscle patterns, Mrs.
Pfrirnmer began treating
herself and after three
months, she was walking
on her own. After healing
herself Mrs. Pfrimmer
began intensive research
into muscle manipulation
and developed Deep
Muscle Therapy.
Completely devoted to
her work, Mrs. Pfrimmer •
fought for decades to
have the medical
profession acknowledge
her drugless technique of
restoring muscles to their
natural state as a viable
alternative to surgery.
Although her work was
never acknowledged' by
the Canadian Medical
profession, she received
awards and support from
medical associations in
the United States.
Although Deep Muscle
Therapy was not ac-
cepted by many skeptics,
through her belief in her
work, and her religion,
Mrs. Pfrirnmer devoted
her life to curing hun-
dreds .of people and
• teaching her technique to
• other doctors, nurses,
chiropractors and
•masseuii". She arso—wrbte
two books on the
technique.
Mrs. Pfrirnmer began
• teaching her therapy in
1971 and by 1979 she had
• 63 graduating students,
many who operated Deep
Muscle Therapy Clinics
throughout Canaaa, the
United States and the rest
of the • world. More than
800 others had applied to
learn the technique.
According to her wish,
• her clinic and training
school from which many,
have graduated in recent
'years, will continue.to be
operated at RR 2 Bayfield
under the direction of her
• trained therapist, Mary
Kish, R.T.D.M.T.R.M.
Along with her work,
Mrs. Pfrimmer was also
a former vice president of
the Society of Registered
and Remedial Masseurs
of Ontario and in her
lesiure time, she
•'collected stamps and was
an organic gardener and
herbalist.
Mrs. Pfrimmer was
known and loved by many
and was survived her
daughter Rosemarie
Hunfalvy (Mrs. . Victor
Kosman) of Washington,
Michigan; a sister, Mrs.
Angeline Nigra of
Detroit; and five gran-
dchildren.
She was married in 1963
• to Michael Sawcher who
predeceased hey in 1973.
She was a member of
the Jehovah's Witriesses.
