Client Story, Phyllis

How many people absolutely love their job? I do!!! Everyday I am able to help clients live life with less pain, more mobility and higher fitness. Some of you may have noticed that I don’t blog all that often. Until now I just didn’t know what to write.  A few weeks ago it hit me, my clients have so many inspiring stories and I am excited now to share them with the world.

Today you get to hear about Phyllis. This amazing lady started working with me at the suggestion of one of my other wonderful clients. She had sadly been diagnosed with a herniated disc. When I met Phyllis she was in a lot of pain. She explained to me that her daughter (who is now a doctor) recommended she try exercise therapy and avoid surgery at all cost. At our first appointment I could see how much pain she had been living with. I have suffered from back pain myself but nothing like this. I prescribed a series of exercises and Phyllis got a small amount of relief. She worked diligently on the exercises and the next week we added more. She was alway so receptive and truly worked hard , she was motivated because she could see that if the exercises could give her some relief directly, then with time and practice, eventually she would reduce the pain completely.

This is what Phyllis had to say

“Carolyn’s contagious optimism gave me the necessary hope that helped my avoid lower back surgery. Her ability t diagnose the problem and guide me through specific exercises decreased my discomfort right away. With less pain I was able to gain strength by following the exercises she prescribed and prevent a recurrence. I am now able to use the exercise to strengthen and relieve muscle tension. Carolyn’s knowledge, experience, positive attitude, and gentle guidance allowed me to regain flexibility, relieve my paind and to become physically active again.”

As I said she is an amazing lady who has done her “homework” (exercises) regularly. Her hard work has paid off!!!
