PainFree™ Testimonials
Read what our clients say about the PainFree Program:
"Just wanted to say that I thought the Hands-On Therapy pilot was really valuable and beneficial for me. My therapist, Chris, was successful in alleviating the worst of my back and neck symptoms, Thanks."
"My personal experiences were all positive with this program. The therapist personally reviewed my pain focus areas and applied deep tissue massage to these areas one area at a time for the 4 days in the pilot. In all cases the result was a reduction in pain or discomfort reducing my overall pain level. I would say that the process would be very valuable to have at the office. The service is very beneficial for state of mind and comfort (improving productivity). On site availability would make the treatment take less time than the mere round trip commute to an offsite facility (and much more cost effective). The availability of this service on site (if not too costly) would certainly enhance Work-Life Balance, Great Place to Work and Total Compensation perceptions! "
"This gets my highest approval! My shoulder pain was virtually eliminated after 1 treatment. My primary problems in my lower back showed improvement also. When I re-injured myself, my recovery time was measured in Hrs, rather than days or weeks. I would participate even if I had to pay for the service, and use my lunch hr to attend. My therapist was excellent, and - I think I could make much more progress going forward."
"I participated in the program because I have on-going shoulder pain, associated with use. I don't have pain sitting in a cube all day although I believe that my bad posture while sitting contributes to my shoulder problems. I have been weight training for 6 years and developed shoulder pain about a year ago although I did not sustain an injury. Tanya was great! She put me through rigorous movements that were very uncomfortable. I felt that she helped to get me to relax and lower my shoulders during treatment. In addition she taught me stretches to reinforce the treatment. . I felt like this is treatment that I would definitely benefit from if it were more regular and on-going. I think my greatest benefit is awareness. I now think about my posture and focus on lowering my shoulders and breathing correctly when I lift."
"I suffer from a great deal of chronic pain. Headaches including Migraine-I typically have a least 1 per week some are so sever that I have to have injections (with these I can not work). In the 4 weeks of therapy - I had one headache. I also suffer a great deal of back pain due to Arthritis but they pain is much worse due to long hours of sitting. I found the therapy to be quite helpful. The initial treatment was extremely painful however each subsequent treatment was less painful. Post the treatment I was able to stand and walk for longer periods of time with our as much pain as 4 weeks ago. I found that after the 3rd treatment I was sleeping better and not waking up 3 or 4 times a nigh from pain. I have also found that I have had to take less pain medication after the 3rd week. The 3rd and 4th week I only took Tylenol and did not need to take the prescription pain killers I have been taken for several years. I would like to see this treatment continued on site. I would imagine that there would be increase to short term treatments to help with current issue, but over the long term the treatments would be reduced as the body would be in more stable condition. I found that when there is less pain I can think more clearly, I interact better with all the people I deal with daily. I hope I have explained my self correctly, if you need more info please contact me. Thanks!"
"I have just completed my sessions and wish to express my thoughts and experiences. I have found this very beneficial in my daily life and job. I spend most of my time at a computer and sitting at a desk. The stretching exercise that was taught to me will greatly relieve some of the daily strains. I have been going in and getting this done on my first work day. Being able to get my tension worked out and my muscles loosen up has made my job more enjoyable. I would like to see this program continued and I wish I could go each week for the next couple of months. I believe that the benefit of relaxing the muscles improves one mental and physical state. I know since I have been going the last 4 weeks that my typing has improved and I can sit working at my computer for a period of time with little of no pain. When I do start feeling the tension and pains I get up and do my stretching exercise. This should cut down lost time due to strains and increase productivity. If this was offered at work I would take advantage of it. Trying to do this on my own on the outside would be harder to schedule and keep up. One last item, I found Tanyas encouragement and instruction most helpful. This beats just the shoulder massage I have paid for in the past as I learned some things that I can do to prevent the strains. "
"I'm probably an outlyer in the program. I don't normally experience any pain. A couple times a year I may tweak my lower back from lifting, or maybe tense knot between my shoulder blades, but that's about it. So, I may not have been the intended candidate for the program. But, I think it was beneficial. I didn't really experience any relief from my non-existent pain, but Tania rocked and the workout, stretches, etc. were very interesting and maybe gave me an awareness of my body and changes due to aging. I feel like I am better tuned in to me and what I need to be aware of to detect deterioration in flexibility or strength or….and to do something productive about it. So, good program. Tania was very skilled; I believe that folks who do experience regular difficult pain would be greatly helped by the program."
"I have just completed the 4th session of the Therapy and wanted to give you feedback on the program. I definitely had improvement over the past 4 sessions in the amount of pain across and between my shoulders. Prior to treatment, I had some trouble concentrating in the afternoon due to the pain. I do not notice this problem much anymore. The program was convenient to have the treatment on-site so I didn't have to travel. I would likely not get the treatment until conditions worsened if it was not on site. I will recommend this program to other employees struggling with muscle pain. Thanks for setting this program up."
"The Hands-on manual therapy pilot was an excellent idea, hope this program could continue, it would help peoples, like me, stay pain free and more productive not only at work but also at home or any where you happen to be. It was conducted on a friendly and professional way for knowledgeable and caring people, this person not only work hard on getting you feeling good but also give you the tools that you can use to keep you feeling that way. I will give a thumbs up to the one that though of it and hope that more good ideas like this keep coming to his mind for the good of all of us here at ….."
"I think it is a great program. I have had back pain for months. I have seen the doctor, had x-rays, blood tests and he thinks its just tight muscles. He prescribed weekly massage, medicine and exercise. The weekly massage and coaching through the "Hands on manual therapy program" has helped and I hope to see that be a more permanent part of ... I felt like I was making some progress with that program but it was much too short. "
