Patient Success S P O T L I G H T
It was so successful I never had the surgery!
“Horseback riding is usually rated as the one of the ten most dangerous sports in the world. While I have had my share of horse-related injuries, I have also managed to rack up a number of others, including a badly yanked hamstring (swimming) and an ankle sprain with tears in two tendons and a bone chip (walking on a perfectly flat sidewalk). Over at least a decade, Christina’s expertise has made me pain-free and stronger than ever. In fact, when the surgeon wanted to operate on my ankle, Christina suggested trying dry needling first; it was so successful I never had the surgery. Christina has effectively treated my lower back, right knee (knee cap displaced), right ankle, right shoulder (frozen after a poorly healed broken collar bone), yanked hamstring, and back alignment. All accompanied by encouraging words and a sense of humor. And dedication. As a non-rider, she was not familiar with the core strength, balance and muscle use required for riding effectively. So she gamely came out to the barn, watched me ride Polo (my very athletic (at that time) cross-bred Welsh pony), then rode enough to feel the motion and muscle use at a walk, engaged walk, and trot. Based on this, Christina gave me very useful strengthening, stretching and balancing exercises specific to scoliosis-plagued back. Which I am sure Polo also greatly appreciated. Christina and Vickie are now doing wonders for my hamstring injury. I hope they never retire. I also hope that Christina brings her sons out to the barn to ride the gentle and now elderly Polo, who has always treated little kids as precious cargo.” - Melissa M.
