Jose Martinez - Testimonial



"I play beach volleyball at a national level. When I am not on the sand, I am at the gym, swimming or running. It was while training for a half-marathon back in October last year (just to keep me fit during winter) when I started to feel some pain on the back of my left knee. I saw several physios and was always given different diagnostics: The IT band, not enough muscle mass, etc.
 By February, the pain was so intense that I could barely walk, so I decided to have an MRI scan, fearing that I was going to miss the beach season this year. The scan showed an impression of partial tear of the ACL as well as a cyst on the back of the knee. I was devastated!
A friend of mine who is into Triathlon referred me to Bruce.
After just one session with Bruce the injury improved radically. I walked limping into the physio room and walked out walking almost normally. He was able to isolate and reduce the cyst, and most important, to identify the cause of all this mess: an old injury on the hamstring
The fact is that after just two sessions with Bruce, I went from being in constant pain, walking and moving with great difficulties to being back to my usual beach training and sport routines.  
I am aware there is still lot of work to do before we can say I am fully recovered but, thanks to Bruce, I am looking forward for start of the season again"




Thanks to Jose for the testimonial and images provided for this post.  Treatment here was straightforward involving the use of Active Release Technique on Hamstrings and Sciatic Nerve.
