Prior to coming to Sports and Ortho, I walked with a limp because of the Achilles tendonitis. I had swelling that reduced a lot, and I could walk and stretch much better after therapy. My limping has stopped.

Before coming to Sports and Ortho, I had limited mobility and range of motion in my shoulder. After my sessions, my range of motion was drastically increased and my mobility was back at where it was before my injury.

Only been here a few months, wasn’t expecting much as I hate meeting new people in this type of environment. However, I was surprisingly impressed. I came in with carpal tunnel syndrome, and shoulder issues, and i hardly feel the carpal tunnel in my wrists anymore.

I came in on my own with an Achilles issue, suspected tendonitis. Id been doing home self care and come to a point where nothing was improving. Lauren has helped bring me back to a point where I can walk with little to no discomfort, which is a huge improvement.
