Brian's Success Story




Brian's Success Story

Brian is a 67 year old male and he had the following musculoskeletal imbalances:
  •  Forward head (upper cross syndrome) and leaned forward
  •  Right dropped shoulder
  • Right dropped hip 
  •  Overdeveloped right upper back (thoracic) and lower back (lumbar)
  • Spine pulled to the right creating a “C” shaped spine
  • Vertebra are too close together on the left side which is a risk for bone spurs in the future
  • Bulging discs in L4 and L5 on the left side 
  •  Right lumbar muscles (erector spinae) are over developed and pushing on the sciatica nerve going down the right leg
  • Tight muscles in the neck and low back
  • Tight quads (quadriceps), calf (gastrocnemius), and hip (adductor) muscles
  • Weak glutes, hamstrings and abs 
  •  Knees touched before the ankles touched (Q angle) causing inflammation on the inside (medial) of the knees
  • The pressure on the outside (lateral side) part of the knees were wearing out the meniscus and cartilage
  • External rotation at both ankles caused a fallen arch and put him at high risk of getting plantar fasciaitus (a painful condition on the foot that feels like you are standing on a nail) 
  •  Poor circulation in his feet and legs
After six months of work. Brian made remarkable changes. All his joints lined up. All the pain and discomfort are gone.

“Gary you have changed my life. I’m doing things I haven’t done before.  I’m walking every night.  My golf game is much better and I’m hitting the ball 25 yards further.  I have more energy.  I really feel great! Thank you! Can I still keep coming to see you? I just feel so good!” 

I like that! I love to see someone's life change.
