"The summer is coming to an end (somewhat) and I wanted to let you know how happy I am that I had the good fortune to have a son, Stephen Murphy, who, after listening to me complain about my Sciatica back and leg pain along with a sore neck, referred me to you. I was experiencing a lot of pain during the night and almost all day. This is something that started about 6 months before I was introduced to you. I was concerned because I had several trips planned during the summer and I was really worried about how I would be able to get around. One of the trips was to New York City with my 13 year old granddaughter. This was a Road Scholar trip and I needed to keep up with the energetic group. NYC was about 95 degrees everyday (for 9 days) and the group walked up to 5 miles per day. I lost count of how many steps I climbed to enter the metro stations.

You and I had some Zoom sessions to get me started – that worked out very well and then we met in person several times while I was in the Bay Area and then back to Zoom.

It all worked out wonderfully. I would say that the leg and neck pain during the night has completely gone away. I try to do my exercises each day and I use the message gun you recommended (Bob and Brads). All of this has really helped me to get my pain manageable. I am very aware of how much protein I consume each day. I am trying to consume about 8g a day.

Since my NYC trip, I have completed a trip with 3 girlfriends. We hiked around the State of Maine and Boston area for 10 days. These women were very impressed with my story about my back issues, as some have experienced the same thing. I brought my message gun with me and two of them borrowed it daily. I no longer stay in bed for an hour or so waiting for ibuprofen to kick in. I feel confident that I can go on long walks with my little dog and enjoy the day.

I want to thank you Dr. Mitch first of all for your wonderful attitude and patience. I liked the one on one training. I like that you are a Medical Doctor, that lends to credibility. The homework you have assigned to me is manageable. I sure don’t feel 79 years old, but I am! I want to always have the ability to get around and continue to take trips with my husband and family.

Thank you for all you have done to help me – I would certainly recommend you to anyone who needs your special kind of help.

Have a wonderful rest of the summer."
