I wholeheartedly rate Symmetry 5/5 stars...and I've gone through the program via Zoom video calls instead of in person because I live on the East Coast! It is the best thing that I have done and persists to be the most successful modality of healing after multiple forms of physical trauma (car/bike accidents and unmedicated births).
The long but important details of my story below...
-----
My husband and I first did the Symmetry program in person over 8 years ago when we lived in California.I learned about Symmetry after being frustrated with chiropractic care. I had had significant and persistent back pain after multiple car accidents that I could not heal even through a year of weekly (and expensive) chiropractic care. After diligent completion of the symmetry program (and continuing to rotate through my individualized exercise routines) I was stunned at how completely my back pain was gone, with no recurrence.
We moved to the east coast and a few years later I had my first daughter, and in the wake of becoming a new parent, balancing life, and just being young and not thoughtful enough about the future I neglected to keep up with even occasionally utilizing my symmetry routines. Nonetheless I felt great and active, which I still attributed to the balance in my body from Symmetry.
Fast forward to this past year:
In November of 2018 I delivered my second (awesome) baby girl and shortly returned to a rigorous yoga practice. I had some pain, which over time grew into very bad pain, until it was so bad I (reluctantly) went to a chiropractor who found that I had S.I. joint dysfunction. It was such a huge disruption to my life to try and get to his office twice a week, with children, at inconvenient times - furthermore, the passivity of chiropractic care after the self-reliant Symmetry program was so frustrating. I kept asking the chiropractor (a GOOD one, by the way!) what I could do for self-care in between visits, to which there was no satisfactory answer. After a few months - and no dip in pain - I impulsively emailed Symmetry to see if they had any practitioners in my area. Lee Anne emailed back to say that no one was close enough, but that Patrick was willing and successful at doing it through Zoom calls.
Over the last 6 months my pain has dropped so significantly that most days it's barely a whisper (or even just phantom pain!). The changes began to happen close to immediately, which was stunning after the disappointment of my chiropractic experience. For me, the absolute best thing about the care through Symmetry (in addition to Patrick and his team being the most knowledgeable, kind, and capable group) is that I CAN HEAL MYSELF! Forgive the all-caps, but I am yelling it in my head. If I'm having a day where my body feels terrible from carrying/chasing/consoling/corralling my children, I can take 20 minutes to do a routine and suddenly my body is reset. I think sometimes people shy away from this type of healing process because of the personal responsibility it takes to do the exercises - but truly, in the long run it is the most affordable, convenient, and almost permanent form of healing that there is. read more
