Susan’s Success Story



Susan’s Success Story

Susan is a 59 years old female who was in so much pain she was unable to do many of her favorite activities.  She had the following symptoms and musculoskeletal imbalances:

  • Dropped hip because of a mobile SI joint
  • Legs bowed out at the knees
  • External rotation at the right knee 
  • Leaned forward in the gate
  • Bulging discs in L4 and L5 
  • Pain around the left hip
  • Sciatica pain down the right leg
  • Pain on the lateral side of the right knee and ACL
  • Pain in the right rotator cuff 

After stabilizing and lining up all of the joints, Susan’s pain went away. She’s now back to speed walking, her favorite thing to do. 

“Thank you Gary for all you have done for me. You gave me my life back.”

Wendy’s Success Story




Wendy’s Success Story

Wendy is a 50 year old female.  When she came into the office she has so much pain and discomfort she couldn’t even drive a car. Wendy had the following symptoms and musculoskeletal imbalances:
  • Forward head (head upper cross syndrome). 
  • The top of the neck (atlas) is hypermobile causing her to be dizzy all the time and unable to drive a car
  • When sitting up she would have to wait three minutes to stabilize herself before walking because of the hypermobile neck (atlas)
  • Leaned forward in her gate with an anterior pelvic tilt
  • Very tight quadriceps, hamstring, adductors and gastrocs
  • Weak abs, glutes and hamstrings
  • Right dropped shoulder
  • Left dropped hip
  • Scoliosis
  • Sciatica pain down the left leg
  • Mobile right SI Joint
  • All the muscles around the SI joint were very tight
  • External rotation in each hip, knee and ankle
At our 6th session she had no more dizziness.
At our 8th session her SIJ went in and stayed in.
At our 10th session she went off all pain medications.
At our 11th session she went and got her driver license.
At our 12th sessions we stabilized and lined up all the joints. Her flexibility is now excellent and all her symptoms are gone.

Wendy said  to me, “Gary, thank you for changing my life! I’m doing things I’ve never done before like driving a car. I’m active with my three children. I’m excited about the future. I’ve never thought about the future before, there are great things I have yet to do in my life.”  

Her husband said, “Gary, I have a new wife. Thank you!”

Kristin's Success Story


 
Kristin's Success Story

Kristin is a 30 year old female. Because of her pain she stopped doing many things she enjoyed. Below is a list of her symptoms and musculoskeletal imbalances:


  • Forward head (upper cross syndrome)
  • Pressure at the T6 and the nerves pinched with each breath
  • Hunch back (kyphosis) 
  • S curve in the spine (scoliosis)
  • Left dropped shoulder
  • Right dropped hip
  • Excessive lumbar cure (swayback)
  • The L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 were too close together and the nerves pinched (If the spine is not corrected and lined up she could get bone spurs and then surgery)
  • Legs and knees are off center (Q Angle/knocked kneed)
  • Inflammation on the inside of her knees
  • The meniscus and the cartilage is wearing out on the lateral side of her knees (If not corrected the meniscus and cartilage could tear and break up causing surgery)
After 24 sessions her joints all lined up for perfect posture and function. She is now doing more things. She is now running and hiking again. She is also back into dancing.

"Gary thank you, I will never forget what you have done for my body and my life. Everything has changed for me." 

Six months later she called me and shared the great news about her getting married to a wonderful guy.
