Due to years of exercise, exasperated by four babies and poor body alignment, I exhausted my body. Over the past five years, I underwent many non-invasive procedures to reduce pain and continued an active lifestyle. Finally last year in 2014, I succumbed to take drastic steps and underwent surgeries for my patella to fix my knee and rotator cuff to repair my shoulder. I figured out the surgeries could extend the mechanical usage of my body parts but I was aware that I needed to change habits and master new routines in order to stall aging erosions and avoid any further injuries. My aim is to be able to do things I love with my family, such as skiing, hiking, tennis & kayaking.

 

 

I was referred highly to Nelson and to my delight, it’s been a fun, refreshing, and challenging experience. The initial sessions were focused on releasing tight muscles to reduceand eliminate pain. I was particularly dejected due to chronic sciatic nerve pain at the beginning but Nelson has been very diligent in his quest to help me move pain-free quickly. Recent sessions are more rigorous with me breaking out a sweat and catching my breath. Nelson’s presence, vision, and mastery of his art are inspirational. It’s impressive how well he listens to me and my body; how creative he devises exercises for me; how meticulous he guides me through the sets; and how funny he is as he quips and sings me to create new habits.
