TESTIMONIALS

"Working with Monica has been a blessing. I am a reasonably athletic 28 year old who developed debilitating back pain and a numb arm after sitting and working from my couch during quarantine. I also have several mobility restrictions that I'd like to improve for my athletic goals. Monica worked with me to identify the the likely causes behind my problems and provided a cornucopia of exercise variations to target the restrictions. Inevitably, the responsibility for identifying and fixing orthopedic problems lies with the patient - we must research our own problems, learn how to read signs in our body, and put in the work to improve problem areas. However, working with Monica has really accelerated this process. She really cares and treats your research problem as her own - sessions routinely ran past the end time and I have gotten messages from her days after a session with a new idea she thought of that she wanted me to try before the next session. Additionally, from her experiences in fixing her own body's problems, she has an exhaustive list of cues and exercise variants that are very helpful in learning to more effectively apply FRC exercises. She often sends messages with long compiled lists of exercises and demo videos to try related to what was discussed in a session. As specific cues or exercises may not work for everyone, it is useful to have access to a wide array of them to see what sticks. My back pain has vanished and I have a much better idea about the root causes of my problems with a plan to fix them. I highly recommend seeing Monica if you have orthopedic issues or specific mobility and athletic goals."
