I was referred to TAI in December for a hip injury and got an appointment the same week. I had difficulty even walking short distances without pain. My world became incredibly small and my mental health took a toll because I was in so much pain.

Since then I've been working with Carsten and Elijah to regain mobility and reduce pain. Carsten taught me stretches and exercises to build back normal function. Three months later, I'm back to my normal physical activities, mostly pain free. I credit my recovery to the folks at TAI for their knowledge and professionalism.
