Aaron is downright a lifesaver. When the right side of my neck and shoulder seized up after a normal workout, I could barely move my head. I was at a complete loss of what to do. I was in daily pain, often crying because even sleeping was difficult, let alone my normal 5 days a week of weightlifting. Everything seemed to agitate it and I couldn’t get relief.
My primary care provider prescribed me a muscle relaxant, which didn’t work. The first PT I saw barely listened to what my symptoms were and told me to “rest up.” The chiropractor couldn’t give me any relief. I was in pain with no end in sight.
Then I was referred to Aaron from my fitness coach who had been following him on Instagram. Within 10 minutes of talking with Aaron on the phone about my symptoms and pain he immediately could identify possible causes and some recommendations for relief. The most exciting part for me, was that he understood the importance of me getting back to my normal weight lifting workouts and was eager to work with my coach to figure out the best program split.
I scheduled an initial consultation with him at my home and again, within 10 minutes of his assessment he hit the nail on the head of what was wrong. Because of his expertise and background he could see that it actually wasn’t my neck at all that had been tweaked, but instead I had serious instability and mobility issues stemming from my lat, traps, and shoulder that were radiating pain.
Aaron worked with my existing weightlifting coach to build me an incredible rehab program that included 4 days of workouts, stability and mobility work. Instead of avoiding my weaker areas like the other PT had tried to do, he incorporated movements that would build strength in those muscles. The program was completely customized to my needs and just within 1 week of following it & our sessions I was relieved of my pain! We met every 2 weeks in person to review progress and go through new movement patterns, but between those sessions I was able to text with Aaron DAILY to send him form videos, updates on pain/inflammation, and questions. By the time our 2 months were up together I was completely back to my normal routine with NO PAIN. To this day I still use Aaron’s mobility and stability routine that he provided me as I was off boarding and I am forever grateful for his expertise.
I would (and do!) refer Aaron onto any of my friends and family suffering from ANY kind of discomfort, tightness, or pain. He is incredible at his job and is passionate about helping you back to living a pain free & enjoyable life!
