Advice & Tips
My physiotherapist is a genius. He uses a combination of physical movement and needling. The needles are momentarily painful but the gain is worth the pain. He has loosened muscles that I had believed were forever frozen. My right shoulder and hip have much improved range of motion and my posture is more erect.

On the days of my massage therapy I am able to redirect my focus on things other than my pain and discomfort. I feel relaxed for at least a whole day if not more and am able to even accomplish small chores around the house with little discomfort.

I always felt sooo good after the weekly massage. It invigorated my mental health, as well as being physically satisfying. Just felt I couldn't continue these on our current fixed income.
