mend physio

I came back once I got my Dr’s note to get an assessment from Candice for my chronic low back problem. Guess what? She fixed it!
I’ve been going to so many practitioners for this: chiro, massage, chinese tui na, osteo — and all really to to just relieve the symptoms. Sure they worked, but I continuously injure my low back either carrying something heavy, or dancing, or sleeping funny (?! yes!) then walk around in pain afterwards for the next week until I can make an appointment.
Candice urged me to see her for an assessment, so I did. After asking me what my compliants are, and watching me move around, I think she came up with a really good diagnoses about my issue (lack of strength in my hips area, which the rest of my body compensates for).
She’s not like one of those physios that just sit you down, and maybe roll around a laser or thumping massage machine on you and send you on your way. She will manually help loosen up your tight spots or she can do acupuncture as well.
Also I’ve been given exercises before but always a lazy bum and never do them. But there’s something about her candid nature that not only forces me to do them (and she tells me don’t bother coming back if I don’t) but also some how shows me the results of my effort.
After the first assessment, she sent me home with a few simple exercises, providing me too with a band so that I have no excuses. A week later, I came back and by testing my movements, she was able to prove the exercises even did something. Not to mention, in my every day life, stuff that used to make my back hurt, actually started to Not, and I had better balance etc.
I came back a few more times, and now extending my visits along with harder exercises. Her goal is not to make you come back, but actually to MEND you.
(like that?! haha)
I have to say that for the last month, I’ve had almost zero back problems. Usually after dance class, I hobble around unable to sit and stand up with out pain. Now I have none of that.
Better yet, I took my mom there, after I told her about all my progress. Similar problem, but a lot more intense. What I loved, was that somehow Candice made my mom a believer of her diagnoses by just a few on-​site exercises.
Did I mention she’s also super friendly and you won’t feel intimidated with her. I urge you to give her a try as well!
