Let me preface the following statement by agreeing with you if it seems that this is just another puff piece that must be too good to be true. Hearing results with a laundry list of superlatives immediately triggers the cynicism in all of us, but for those willing to listen, I am here to tell you in fact that there aren’t enough of said superlatives to describe the results I have seen. A high-level athlete who had previously received regular treatments with extremely positive results first referred me to Chris. As mentioned above, I carried with me a high degree of skepticism that my chronic, at times debilitating, back/knee pain had zero chance of being resolved due in large part to many failed attempts with physical therapy in the past. Despite short-term success with frequent and pricey physical therapy visits the results were never permanent, resulting in increased frustration and decreased physical activity.

Chris’ myofascial release techniques coupled with what can be described as biomechanical reprogramming combine for a treatment modality that is less invasive than injections or surgery, while also providing better long-term results than even the most aggressive physical therapy plans. Having experienced the aforementioned never-ending paradox of orthopedic surgeon consults and physical therapy treatment plans myself, I can say (happily) that not only have these methods allowed me to continue to participate pain free in a variety of athletic activities, but also have given me the tools to maintain said results with minimal effort.

Fully believing that my results were not an outlier I have also advised colleagues of mine to see Chris, with all experiencing similarly positive outcomes. To anyone out there using chronic pain as a crutch for not being active, I would challenge them to give what you will find in this book a chance prior to undergoing painful injections or unnecessary surgical procedures.
