“Hey. look! I’m walking and nothing hurts!”
Jarrett Smilie has helped me turn my life around. I suffered for many years from fibromyalgia and from he after effects of 2 hip surgeries. Physical therapy did not help, and I was reluctant to rely on pain medications, so I coped by becoming less active. Standing long enough to cook a meal was painful. I had no stamina for walking, and I certainly couldn’t keep up with my grandchildren. Because of so much muscle pain, I had to give up gardening. Travel was no longer fun. My world was getting narrower.
When I began muscular therapy sessions with Jarrett, I could see progress right away. I’m sure that my friends and family got tired of hearing me say, “Hey. look! I’m walking and nothing hurts!”
Over the period of several months of therapy sessions by Jarrett,
my muscle function and comfort level continued to improve,
which Jarrett attributed to the reeducation of the affected muscles.
Over years, the affected muscles picked up bad habits (tightness),
which affect the joints that the muscles cross which leads to many bodily pains, Jarrett explained. Jarrett has created an individualized treatment plan based specifically on MY needs, and he has also taught me to practice self-Treatment. The future looks much brighter. I’m planning several trips, and I have a large new flower garden. I couldn’t have done it without Jarrett.
