“After three weeks flat on my back and the threat of surgery and a wheelchair, I turned to Rob for help. Thanks to his “magic hands,” and some committed effort, I now experience only minimal discomfort first thing in the morning. I visit Rob for a tune-up about once a month, and I’m able to work again at the things I love.”

Frequency:
Weekly visits (2-3 per week) and house calls at most acute; monthly visits to reinforce gains.
Outcomes:
Improved structural alignment, balance, and pain-free mobility. Freedom to return to function and trade-related hobbies.

“was a regular client of Rob’s three years ago. At that time, my body and running were strong. I left the practice for a time and ended up with an injury and some difficult months of running. I’ve since found my way back and with his help I’ve had an amazing year. Thanks to Rob for being so supportive, kind and caring.”
