Before I came to Gymnazo, I had a bad ACL – so bad that two physical therapists and two orthopedic surgeons believed my knee would never fully heal. I felt my life was over. I thought I would never be able to participate in activities again with my kids. Now, I feel like Gymnazo has given me my life back. In one session, Michael gave me an exercise that was strenuous without causing knee pain. I love Gymnazo and can’t believe the overwhelming progress I’ve made.

A hip injury was inhibiting my daily movement. After spending a ton of money on PT and chiropractic work, I was still having constant pain in my hip that would “re-injure” whenever I was active. As someone who loves to be active it was very difficult to not see results. But with Michael, I saw results in just one session. He analyzed my movements, explained to me what was going on, and gave me exercises to improve my pain. He helped me get to the root of my injury and we worked from there. Not only can I work out pain free, but I am able to do hot yoga again and ballet! I just recently went back on ballet pointe shoes as well— this is seriously a dream and miracle compared to where I was this time last year. I couldn’t even sit and walk without pain before I went to Gymnazo. Being able to dance again has set my soul free!

I did a 3D Movement Assessment because of a chronic lower back issue that has developed. I also had an injury to a hip flexor years ago, which led to a lower back injury. I was hoping it could be treated, but chiropractors couldn’t help me. Doing this assessment with CJ helped me understand the root cause of this pain. I have done the stretches that were recommended by CJ, and I have had less pain, which is fantastic for living with this for over three years. Occasionally it flares up and I go back to my homework, and personalized videos to get relief. I recommend this to anyone who is having challenges and may not know what is the cause of the pain. We have amazingly talented people working at Gymnazo that are there for us, willing and able to help with injuries and pulled muscles!

Michael and CJ understand the complexity of body mechanics and how muscles, bones, nerves and ligaments all work together or how their dysfunction causes pain. They can quickly get to the cause of pain and know how to relieve it. I’ve been to chiropractors, physical therapists and neurologists and found more relief faster when working with Michael or CJ!

I chose 1-on-1 training after a shoulder injury while bouldering. Coming back from injury left me feeling a lot of fear and mistrust about simple exercises, and I was scared I would never climb again. CJ helped me rebuild my confidence in my body and use my whole body for movements and power, rather than one muscle group or area. This injury has been something I have been managing for years and CJ was training yet! I appreciate the knowledge the instructors have about anatomy and accessing the power in my body. I also started climbing again!

I had an injury involving C6, C7, and C8 vertebrae, the nerve damage left my left arm useless for six weeks. I am left handed, so a full recovery was necessary to resume my work as an instructor. The diagnosis was Radicular Pain. After a couple of weeks seeing CJ, the pain was reduced by 70%. At the end of four weeks, I had no pain and had recovered most of the power and range of motion on my arm and neck. I have been part of the Gymnazo family for six years now. The coaches and colleagues help me to keep a healthier lifestyle, and keep me out of pain.
