In pain, and nothing seems to fix it?

You still have the mind and drive of youth. You long to enjoy yoga, dance, paddle boarding, the gym, long walks, but your body feels like it just lost the championship match at WrestleMania. It's painful to lie in bed so your sleep is restless. Getting out of bed sounds like Rice Krispies. You better stretch before you take the trash out or walk the dog so you don't come back with a torn rotator cuff. Pray for anyone driving near you because you can't turn your head to see your blind spots.

You're motivated… You eat well. You want care that works alongside your medical care. Bodywork sometimes eases the symptoms, but the relief never lasts. You dream of the day you can go for a "feel good" massage instead of bone crushing deep tissue. You push through the pain during exercise and you're left wondering why none of it has really helped you get back to feeling like your old self. When someone asks if you're in pain you respond "Oh, just the normal amount of pain." And why is that damn foam roller just sitting in the corner mocking you!

We get you! You are our kind of people!
