Testominals

.When I came to ATI, I had the thought in the back of my mind "If this doesn't work, the next appointment will be with a psychologist". After ten years of pain, numbness and decreasing strength in my hands and stiffness in my neck and shoulders and countless negative x-rays, emg's, and physical exams (not to mention money spent for such) this all must be in my head!

After the initial appointment, I was relieved to find that they actually wanted to know what I thought. Strange concept? My input is part of my therapy. The process is explained in a way that includes the patient and makes them take an active role in their own recovery process.

Seeing the therapy sessions as "whole body" therapy brought to attention an area on me that I didn't realize was an issue, but was a major one in my healing process.

Six months ago I felt hopeless about the quality of my life and whether or not I would be able to continue to work for much longer. Being in pain all of the time doesn't make you much fun to be around. I know my family and co-workers are thankful that I went to ATI!

When you find something that works, you want to tell everyone you love that may be hurting. Saying thank you for what you have given me seems trivial.

Needless to say, I am definitely a more stable, stronger 40 year old woman.
