"When I first started working with Mitch, I was dealing with extreme back pain that I felt every single day. It had gotten to the point where it kept me from doing the things I loved—especially wrestling. I was nearing the end of my season and desperate to get back on the mat, but I could barely get out of bed most mornings. I felt stuck, frustrated, and honestly, scared that my back would never get better.

Before coming to PRIMD, I had already gone through cortisone shots, minor procedures, and physical therapy through Kaiser. Nothing was working. I felt like I was going nowhere, and some providers even made me feel like this was just something I’d have to live with. I was beginning to believe that my athletic career might be over.

Then I started working with Mitch—and things changed fast. After just two weeks, I saw massive improvements. I went from barely being able to move to slowly starting to wrestle again. But the real breakthrough wasn’t just the physical healing—it was the education and empowerment Mitch gave me. He didn’t just treat the symptoms; he taught me how to take ownership of my health.

He introduced me to key principles that no one else had before: how hydration, nutrition, sleep, mobility, and proper strength work all tie into long-term health and performance. He helped me understand my body in a new way. Even though I’m pursuing my Master’s in Kinesiology, Mitch opened my eyes to concepts I hadn’t come across in school—especially around self-reliance, simplicity, and learning how to solve problems, not just manage them.

Because of the foundation Mitch helped me build, I’ve continued my rehab independently and with confidence. I’m no longer relying on short-term fixes or temporary relief. I understand how to manage and strengthen my body, and that knowledge has given me back hope. I’ve avoided further invasive procedures and feel like I’m on the path not just to recovery, but to coming back stronger than before.

Working with Mitch exceeded my expectations in every way. I finally feel like I have answers, not roadblocks. I fully recommend Mitch to anyone who’s struggling with pain or feeling like they’re out of options. He gave me the tools, the confidence, and the clarity to take control of my health—and for that, I’m incredibly grateful."
