Jamie has helped me recover from a persistent and painful Achilles tendinitis condition that has dogged me for more than 25 years. During that time, I have seen numerous doctors and physical therapists with no lasting improvements in the condition. I tried every recommended treatment over the years, including massage, ultrasound acupuncture, cortisone, and stretching. One highly respected doctor with a nationally renowned hospital locally insisted that I needed emergency surgery on my Achilles; thankfully, I rejected that opinion. My tendinitis flared up at the slightest activity, and the pain and swelling prevented me running, hiking, and other exercises that I loved. I was terribly discouraged. Even though my treatments with Jamie are not complete, I am excited to report that I am finally back to jogging pain-free. Jamie’s unique treatment includes deep tissue massage combined with specific exercises that are tailored to my condition and constantly modified as I continue to improve. In addition, and as important, Jamie keeps me from becoming impatient or frustrated by routinely providing me with updated assessments of my condition, assurances about the pace of my progress, and her projection for a more complete and long-term recovery.
