“I had severe SI (joint) pain that bothered me almost constantly but especially when walking. My pain was increasing and made it difficult to do a lot of the things I enjoyed doing. Dallen was able to help me figure out an exercise plan that helped me get back to doing my regular everyday activities without pain. I believe the most helpful part of my therapy included the physical manipulation that was done at each appointment. That, along with strengthening exercises that I was given, have helped me to recover and feel pain free. I have appreciated the kind staff too! Thanks to everyone for helping me through this process of healing!” - Kris K.
