PHYSICAL PAIN

I thought I didn’t have a choice but to have surgery, since I was no longer willing to live in pain. The morning of my second opinion I went to see Lara; she was able to quickly assess the muscular compensations and the emotional stress driving my pain. Just three sessions later, I was pain free, had my flexibility back, and had a new outlook and life direction as well!

A few years before the end of my major-league baseball career, I was diagnosed with a ruptured disk. Surgery was a success, but I never fully recovered. Pain was a constant factor and I had flexibility limitations that kept me from being able to bend at the waist. A decade of frustration was erased after just two sessions with Lara Riggio. The day after my first session, I woke up without pain for the first time in over twenty years.

While playing ball in high school, I fractured one of my lumbar vertebrae. My low back was a constant source of frustration. Over the last ten years, my situation worsened. Pain prohibited me from running and from playing basketball or golf. Sitting in a car for more than an hour also triggered my symptoms. I had been seeing a chiropractor for three years and had received minimal relief. After four MAT sessions with Lara, I started playing hoops again, driving to and from the Hamptons weekly, golfing frequently, and began to run long distances again!
