“As an instructor at the YMCA, my body gets pushed hard. As a result,mybackwent intospasmsand Icouldnotevenwalk.Jenna and the wonderful staff at HealthActions taught me how to prep my body to work hard without injury. During the therapy, it was revealed that my back problemwas from very tight hamstrings. Jenna aligned my body and gave me strategies and movements to stretch the muscles that were so tight. As a result, one of my greatest victories was waking all the way up to the nose-bleed seats at an Auburn game with no pain! My back, legs, and knees felt great. I am forever grateful for what I learned from this team at HealthActions. My body and mind are now aligned to focus on health for the long journey of life.” Patient Success Spotlight Andrea Thompson, pictures with Physical Therapist, Jenna McMurray, PT, DPT, Cert.
