Janna Adkins, Physical Rehabilitation Client

The Motivator October 2, 2018

I have had 13 knee surgeries and countless physical therapy sessions. Both knees are replaced and 1 knee has already has a revision done. And I recently found out that I have several things going in in my back as well and haven’t been able to even walk upright or without limping everywhere I went. The Dr’s and therapists did the best they could with a bad situation that started with bad genetics in my knees and even with their help I have been in constant level 9-10 pain for as long as I can remember. I went to my 4th orthopedic Dr yesterday just praying something could be done to allow me to walk without limping and at least ease some of the pain. I was basically told that there wasn’t anything that could be done besides me trying to stretch the tendons myself and it wouldn’t get much better. It was devastated and extremely discouraged. But I remembered talking to Al at The Motivator a few weeks back and decided to contact him as a last resort. He had me come in today and I am in awe. He stretched me and did ART (Active Release Technique) on my legs and back. When I first got off the table, I was in shock. I was able to straighten my right knee ALL THE WAY for the first time in 10+ years. I went in at a level 9 pain level and left at a level 4!!!!! I will definitely be going back to finish the ART. And I am so excited, relieved and astounded at what a huge amazing difference just the 1 session has made already!!!!! Thank you Al for taking the time to help.
