I was referred to ACE Physio & Performance shortly after a car wreck. Before the wreck I was training jiu jitsu 6 days a week, but after the car wreck I could barely breathe, my ribs felt broken, I had a lot of back and hip pain, and I wasn't able to keep up with the training volume that I was before the wreck. After a few weeks of seeing a chiropractor I felt a little better but honestly just assumed I would be struggling with these issues for a long time.
Working with Adrian was much different than the normal "rehab" I've seen people go through where they do the same workout 3 times a week for a set amount of time and then are suddenly declared healthy again. Every week Adrian was asking me every detail about what bothered me or what hurt. He was able to uncover so many smaller issues that I didn't even realize were bothering me. Every week we changed workouts, or adapted exercises. He texted me a few times a week just to check in and see how I was feeling which I really appreciated, because I would normally not want to bother someone with so many questions.
After 12 weeks I was released and felt pretty good, I went back to training and kept up with the exercises that I learned. Then out of nowhere I hurt my back again so bad that I could barely walk around. I texted Adrian almost in tears because I was sick of being hurt, he got me in the next morning and by the end of the session I actually felt much better.
Now it has been maybe two months since I have seen Adrian, he still checks up on me, and I feel better than I have felt in probably 5 years. I have zero back pain, I have no lingering effects from the wreck, I can breathe again, and I'm back to training 6-10 times a week. I couldn't be more thankful that I got referred to Adrian, I've never felt like a medical professional actually cared about me until now. I'll be referring anyone I can his way, and I'll be going back any time I get hurt. read more
