Alexandre Savard, DO
Diagnosis: chronic lower leg pain and ankle stiffness 1 year | Treatments: 1
I’ve been playing a lot of table tennis for maybe a year. And I know that with all this stabilization, I think this is what has been building gradually. I have never been very supple by the ankles, but I think it’s gotten worse in the last year because of that.
Oh, wow. I know that this motion here, like going to valgus and really pushing into it like this, I couldn’t have never gone this far. I’ve got a flexibility in this direction now that I would’ve never had. This is much more flexible than it would’ve ever been. And just doing the squats too. I can tell the difference. My, my right now is much stiffer still because we haven’t treated it. But I can tell that going into dorsiflexion and this one has a lot more mobility here. I can go much more here compared to here. This is a night and day difference for me.

Diagnosis: broken ankle, chronic lower leg pain and calf spasm 10 years | Treatments: 6
I broke my ankle playing basketball. My calf would always tighten back up so I just kinda gave up running which is about 8 years. When I do try to train my calves immediately lock up on me. it could happen immediately or it could happen 1 ½ miles into the run. Can you tell the difference when squatting? Yeah I can!

It literally feels better than my right leg in all honesty. That is incredible!

Diane Long
Diagnosis: foot fracture 15 years | Treatments: 1
This is a foot that I had injured in about third grade. I twisted it and I think I chipped a bone. And since then I have not been able to spread my toes.
Just like a half an hour ago you couldn’t move those out at all! That’s amazing.

Heather Mc Combs
Diagnosis: Bunionectomy/tendon repair | Treatments 5
As a physician, my experience with DFR was after I had a tendon repair and a large adhesion. Conventional physical therapy had restored my ability to walk, but I had persistent discomfort from the tissue immobility. It was a couple of years post surgery that I met Paul and learned about DFR, my discomfort was constant so I thought that anything was worth a try. Paul worked with me for several sessions and the change in tissue pliability was astounding. The area was no longer sensitive and with mobilized tissue, it was not a constant source of discomfort. This truly made a difference in my life and I subsequently shared my experience with my patients. This technique is such an enhancement to maximize the benefits of physical therapy, I highly recommend it.

Diagnosis: Quadriparesis 6 years | Treatment 1
That is completely stretching right where it was holding. Look at that difference! Holy cow! There is no way I could have done that just a few minutes ago.

Nicole Strom
Diagnosis: CRPS lower leg/foot 1 year | Treatments: 1
I haven’t been able to lift my big toe in a month. WOW! Don’t you feel like cheering.

Sara Khlem
Diagnosis: ankle fracture and dislocation | Treatments: 6
I broke my ankle in three places. I had a dislocation, damaged the ligaments, tendon and capsule. I had a plate and pins in my ankle. I was in a cast for eight weeks.
No one who sees me can believe I had this type of injury. It will be four months tomorrow. I really feel that I probably would never have walked without a limp or restriction if he hadn’t done what he had done. He allowed my foot to have normal motion. And every time I came in, I went out with a lot more freedom of movement than I came in with. I mean, a huge amount of freedom of movement.

Janet Arbseman
Diagnosis: ankle talar fracture surgery | Treatments: 4
I noticed that I could walk around my home without the brace, went out to lunch wearing normal footwear and walked. And it was perfectly fine. And then the next day went just fine. I didn’t have pain. I didn’t have to take any Tylenol. And, I was quite pleased. Also, my friend and husband noticed that I was walking very well. Naturally rather than favoring my right leg to protect my left leg.

Claudya Lum
Diagnosis: severe ankle sprain 5 weeks | Treatments: 6
That’s amazing. Last week I was trying to lift my heel up off the ground, like I can do with my normal foot, but for some miracle of life reason, I’ve been able to lift my foot all the way and I’m not even holding onto anything now! I mean, I never thought that therapy would be so quick.

Virginia Belt
Diagnosis: post-operative achilles tendon surgery 5 weeks | Treatments: 20
I ruptured my Achilles tendon in ballet class, doing small jumps. I had surgery done on it. I have been in the cast for five weeks. You know, what’s really interesting is the number of people who come up to me and they say, I just can’t believe how fast you’re recouping and getting back.

Tim Greathouse
Diagnosis: chronic hamstring injury, tae kwon do instructor 5 years | Treatments: 5
So, this has been going on for about five years and I was in pain all the time. No matter if I was stretched out or if I just got done working out or if I’d waited three days. It was always painful. It isn’t now. It’s normal. My flexibility is really limitless now!

Blair Sarkiss
Diagnosis: chronic hamstring injury, tae kwon do instructor 4 months | Treatments: 3
It’s not at all painful. I have not actually been able to go down this far and touch. This stretch. WOW! I was feeling it in the back and now I don’t feel it at all.

Charlene Walsh
Diagnosis: chronic hamstring pain/stiffness 8 years | Treatments: 2
I began yoga with my daughter eight years ago. And, I have been stretching consistently for that length of time. I have been going to physical therapy now for two days. And, I can go back to doing the extreme positions that I was doing at that time. I was never able to get my knee this far back. The true miracle is on the left side for me. I couldn’t even push this down. And now I can reach my right foot with my left hip flex and externally rotated with the knee on the floor and hold the stretch.

Mary McDermott
Diagnosis: chronic hamstring pain/stiffness 1 year | Treatments: 1
I don’t feel anything in the right that you worked on and in my left leg I feel it behind the knee while touching palms to the floor.
