A testimonial to the benefits of looking after your feet:
This gymnast rolled her ankle, spraining ligaments in her foot as a result of a miss timed landing.
Months of rehab did not help her improve her balance. An MRI showed now anatomical explanation for her in ability to balance, basically everything had healed.
But…someone forgot to tell her brain. The nervous system was still acting like her ankle was injured. When she wanted to balance she couldn’t co-ordinate the contractions to provide a stable base for her to stand from.
In our session we simply freed up all the bones in her foot and helped her move them into full pronation and supination.
Then we worked up the chain allowing her hip, knee and ankle all to flex at the same time her foot went into pronation. This reminded her brain what the correct ‘firing’ sequence was, and literally 5 minutes later she was able to balance again.
If you have chronic pain or muscle problems don’t give up hope. Sometimes the answer are simple…you just got to ask the right questions.

"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
