"I was first introduced to Mitch at one of the lowest points of my life. I had just been bedridden for a week with insurmountable pain in my lower back, an issue that I had been chronically dealing with for well over five years. I had seen a number of physical therapists over the years to no avail. Nothing was working. The last physical therapist that I had seen told me that “this might just be something you have to deal with for the rest of your life. “ When I told this to Mitch, he assured me this was not true and with a great deal of skepticism, I agreed to work with him. I had extremely low expectations. I mean, what was this guy going to do that no one else could?

In our very first session, Mitch did something that no doctor or physical therapist had done before; He showed me a complete breakdown of the human musculoskeletal system and provided me with an in depth understanding of both, how the muscles worked together, and how we would be attacking the problem. The issue was not my back, but rather, that many of the muscles attached to it were in tension. My skepticism was quickly fading. For the first time, it made sense!

The first sessions focused on soft tissue work, utilizing banded exercises, and focusing on mobility. The tension in my back began to fade and through each session, we added more movements, more exercises, and more importantly, more knowledge. Throughout our sessions, Mitch explained not just what we were going to do, but more importantly, why were were doing it. On top of this, we discussed comprehensive health and worked on changing nutritional habits. He made himself available to me for anything related to my health and made me feel like I was his only client.

Working with Mitch was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. My life has truly changed. I couldn’t tie my shoes, let alone pick my kids up off the ground and play sports, practice Jujitsu or anything that involved physicality before I started working with Mitch. I couldn’t sit for more than a few minutes without being in excruciating pain before working with Mitch. Now we lift heavy, doing squats, dead-lifts, cable rows, and so many other movements that would have seemed impossible not too long ago.

I recently got back from an 11 hour flight and upon getting home I realized two things: my body felt good, and I haven’t had any back pain in over a year now. I’m lifting weights and training Jujitsu 3 to 5 times a week, I can tie my shoes without grimacing, and I can be there for my family in a way that I could not have been just a year ago. For anyone like me, who thinks “My body simply isn’t what it used to be and this is just my future now” I emphatically say, “it is not!" Mitch has turned a skeptic into a believer, and I only kick myself for not working with him sooner."
