Mary		For the past 20 years I had been suffering with stiffness, tightness, mid and lower back pain and limited range of movement. As a child I had scoliosis due to Polio and this resulted in pain which I had to learn to live with ...the aching, fatigue and pain in my back became so intense that I could no longer bear standing and had to sit down just to relieve the pressure so that I could continue. That was when I decided that I had to do something. After going to the FASTER clinic, now my back is feeling very different. I am noticing much more flexibility, strength and movement. I no longer feel any problems with standing.  It is really nice to not have to live with that discomfort.
I was having headaches three or four times a week for a while and a lot of pain in my shoulders and neck. After coming to the FASTER clinic, I get only one or two headaches a month. My pain is gone most of the time and I have been taught techniques to relieve my tension and I feel GREAT!		Michelle
Mike		I was off balance and had problems with standing straight. I needed a regiment of exercises and stretching that would provide a sense of stability. Since coming to FASTER I feel Great! My CORE is strengthened and I can stand and exercise with greater flexibility and ease. My general health has improved because I get around better and am able to attempt exercises and stretching that seemed difficult before.
