# Testimonials

Hear from our clients about

how they have successfully

overcome knee pain.

#### "One of the best decisions I've ever made."

#### "I'm a veterinarian. Being able to get through a work day with no knee pain is huge."

"I am 60 years old. In 2018, I was scheduled for knee replacement surgery on my left knee. In addition, the week before the surgery, I was doing a bench press and completely snapped one of my right shoulder rotator cuffs and needed surgery there as well. My wife found Laurie on the internet and convinced me hold off on both surgeries and try her out first... It is 18 months later now and I have had no surgeries and I have full strength in my left knee and right shoulder. I am amazed and will be forever grateful for her help. Laurie has my highest endorsement."

Eric Stagliano (client from Atlanta, Georgia)

"Laurie helped strengthen my knee over a relatively short period of time. This involved regular consultations as well as “homework” to do on my own. From not being able to walk without pain to completing an ultra-marathon is an amazing feat. Laurie was instrumental in helping me achieve these results."

Carlos C. (client from Austin, Texas)

#### "Laurie measured the load capacity of my knee."

#### "It's crazy that this isn't a common knowledge program for anyone with knee problems."

#### "I had worked with four PTs previously... Looking for something that would actually work."

#### “I went from terrified to having total trust in my knee, and mastery over my pain.”

"Before [working with Laurie] I couldn't do a lot of standing or walking. Now I can be in the kitchen as long as I need to be. It's also better because during my gym workouts I can include more leg work and it doesn't have to be only abs or upper body... Coaching like this takes a lot of guesswork out of the equation."

Nikolai (client from Helsinki, Finland)

"When I first came to Laurie I was suffering from quite a bit of left knee pain due to loss of cartilage and arthritis. Walking across the parking lot to the grocery store caused me to wince with every step. My wife’s 50th birthday was approaching and it was my desire to take her on her dream vacation: 2 weeks in France. I had significant angst that I would not be able to do all the walking necessary to fully enjoy such a trip with her. After two months of treatment, I experienced a 90% or so reduction in discomfort. On one day of the trip I walked over 10 miles in and around Versailles. Laurie, through treatment customized for my condition, enabled me to take my wife on her dream trip and also allowed me to resume an active lifestyle."

Steven Rainwater (client from Austin, Texas)

#### "A last ditch attempt to eliminate the pain."

#### "The investment made a lot of sense."

"After initially talking with Laurie about my knees, I had hope that I could walk again without pain-- without taking pain medications, injections or knee replacement.  Within a month I started noticing changes in the stamina of being on my feet/knees. I can now buy groceries without my knees being in pain and also go up & down stairs without pain!"

C. Adams (client from North Carolina)

"Laurie isn’t locked into simply following a regimen. She’s really good at observing response and incorporating feedback, then making creative changes based on how my body is or isn’t responding."

Frank K. (client from Austin, Texas)

#### "A targeted approach with more access & better answers to questions."

#### "The perfect program for me."

#### "It was actually a huge time-savings."

#### "At first, I was skeptical..."

"I am a 65 [year old] female [living an] active lifestyle (landscaping and general physical activity) plus I played softball in my early 60s. I am also overweight and I felt Laurie completely created an individual program for me and my very specific requests and needs. I am excited about my posture and my core strength. I can [now] work on landscaping projects, lifting and moving things for several hours. I had for years worked out on gym equipment using ab machines [and] leg weights, and although I know it was beneficial, nothing compares to the very targeted exercises Laurie designed for me. I feel so much better physically and more in control of my body."

Michaele H. (client from Austin, Texas)

"Laurie is one of the most positive and committed individuals I have ever met…infectious to be around! Second, she is committed to measuring, pushing for identifiable improvement, and explaining what she is doing. I feel extremely positive about what Laurie has done for me, since at 63, I know there will be more aches and pains that could derail my desired lifestyle. I would recommend Laurie unconditionally!"

Bob Kay (client from Austin, Texas)

#### “I didn’t have to wait for a knee replacement... 3 days of skiing—and zero knee pain the next morning.”
