CORRECTIVE EXERCISE
"Over the years, I have tried several strengthening programs, but always ended up with pain caused by scoliosis-related imbalances. Not so with Rebecca Saindon's approach at the Nashville Neuromuscular Center. After only a few weeks of Rebecca's PostureFitness strength program, I noticed a remarkable difference in my strength, flexibility, agility and balance, especially on the tennis court. And things continue to improve after 6 months!" ~Janine Van
"I hadn't realized to what extent my daily activities and sleep were affected by my back and shoulder pain until it was removed! After Rebecca Saindon 'freed' my pain and restored my posture, I noticed an increased energy level and improved sense of well-being, not to mention greater range of motion and strength. Rebecca was expertly adept at communicating complex neuromuscular terminology into terms that I could understand. It just made sense. In just five sessions, I was strong and pain-free and equipped with the knowledge of how to remain healthy. The sports and pain-specific exercises that she taught me are now a part of my daily regimen." ~Pam Wylly
"Last summer I was experiencing knee pain and limitations daily. When I presented my problem to Rebecca Saindon, she gave on-the-spot feedback and suggestions. I took her advice and started on her rehab program immediately I thought that knee surgery was imminent for me so I might as well give her program a shot. The results amazed me! With Rebecca's neuromuscular massage therapy and PostureFitness exercises, my knee started to get stronger and have less pain within the first month. After 3 months, I am basically pain-free and my knee feels stronger than it has in years. I am convinced that Rebecca's treatment plan saved my knee from certain surgery." ~Martha Morgan, Centennial Sportspex Facility Coordinator (2000)
"I began [at NNC] upon the recommendation of my massage therapist who felt I needed more help than she could give me. I had never completely regained full mobility from injuries sustained years before: a torn meniscus, back surgery, and tennis elbow complicated by a bit of arthritis and bad posture. [The therapist to whom I was referred] suggested that I see Rebecca Saindon to improve my mobility, balance, and strength. With Rebecca's guidance through exercises specifically adapted to my capabilities and gradually increasing in difficulty, I feel years younger. ~Janet Davies
"I am a long-time tennis player who recently took up golf at middle age. Nothing about the swing was intuitive to me. I took many lessons and spent hours on the practice range to no avail. My sincere effort to follow every minor technical instruction repeatedly resulted in a pulled chest muscle. So I turned to Rebecca Saindon's PostureFitness program to teach my muscles how to swing the golf club. The exercises have done wonders in learning how to shift my weight. I now have a natural swing without using as much effort. I probably would have discontinued the exercises after reaching my goals, except that those exercises have been remarkable in developing strength and balance in critical parts of my body, particularly the lower abdomen." ~ Katherine McElroy
"Rebecca, I went out the other afternoon to practice golf. Hit 150 (at least) golf balls and never felt the strain on my back, legs or arms. I spent almost 2 hours there. Also I walked to pick the balls up and my legs did not give away. However, without your exercise regiment, I would have broken every bone in my body. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday!!"~ETH, Realtor
" I am about to embark upon the biggest challenge of my life - the Chicago Marathon. This has been more difficult physically and mentally than anthing else I have ever faced. I have trained well and am prepared tocomplete the marathon. But I didn't get here alone. Iwill be wearing a Thanksgiving bracelet. On this bracelet will be your name along with the names ofothers who have touched my life and inspired me. I plan to look to your names for the encouragement and inspiration to make it through thoses 26.2 miles. Rebecca, thank you so much for all your help in getting my body to this point! Not only have you worked the kinks out - you've given me tons of encouragement along the way." ~Rebecca Townsend (note: Rebecca finished the Chicago Marathon in a very respectable time and with no painful repercussions. Congratulations!!)
"I went to NNC for arm & back problems associated with playing guitar. The deep massage helped relieve my pain and loosen my muscles, but more importantly, the exercises I was taught help me stay pain-free and flexible; and if the pain returns, I just start back exercising and in a short amount of time I'm betteragain." ~Tiger Fitzhugh
"I have suffered from chronic arthritis for many years. I have had both of my knees replaced. I have had problems with standing up straight and despite physical therapy, I have been unable to hold my shoulders back. Following the sessions at NNC I was able to maintain an erect posture. My husband even said he noticed I was taller. I have received pain relief and improved my balance. I am very grateful for the kindness and expertise." ~Jeanne Youngkins
ERGONOMICS
"We really appreciated having Rebecca come into our office to do a presentation on the importance of Ergonomics, followed by one-on-one evaluations of everyone's work station. She was thorough, informative, personable, and did not try to sell us things we didn't need. I think all of us have benefited from the information presented and for the suggestions given to improve the ergonomics of our work stations! The price was very reasonable as well. Thank you, Rebecca!" ~Melissa R.
"I've been a client of NNC for about 5 years. They help keep me feeling good, enable me to be healthy enough to work hard, play hard and enjoy life without pain. Recently, Rebecca Saindon came to my office for an ergonomic consultation. Rebecca helped me reconfigure my office desk, computer keyboard and my chair so I can be well supported while I work. She also had great practical solutions for affordable ergonomic office furniture. With only a minimal investment, I now have a wonderfully comfortable set up, and my fatigue at the end of a long day at the computer has been greatly reduced. THANKS AGAIN NNC. You continue to be an integral part of my life." ~Billy Kirsch, President, Kidbilly Music LLC
KINESIOTAPING
"I had pain in my hip and knee off and on for a few years...especially when climbing stairs. While massage made it feel better for a few days, it never quite went away. I even tried Acupuncture and physical therapy. I started using Kinesio Tape and was almost pain free immediately. After using the tape for several months, my muscles must have been reeducated so I no longer need to wear it. Kinesio Tape is magical! Many thanks to Rebecca and my fitness trainer." ~Jan Riven
"Ok, you know I did this taping thing just because you asked me. I don’t believe in crazy things like this. I joked with [my boyfriend] about my voodoo tape. I walked this morning and it is the first time my hip DID NOT hurt. My right hip always hurts pretty badly . That first morning and all through the weekend my right one did not hurt at all. I still cannot believe it. Oh yeah, no ibuprofen needed either!!!!! It finally came off after 5 days. I forgot to tell you, I walked 4 miles with no pain. Woo Hoo!!! Thank you." ~Nina Crain
"Rebecca, I think that Kinesio-Tex Tape you put on my foot might be magic! Of course, it might be the angle you used, or the way you stuck it to my ankle and shin...or for some other mysterious reason, but it WORKS! I have gone from having an unusual but persistent pain in my foot to having no pain at all! And, I didn't change shoes or arch supports, or anything, so it must be YOU who made the difference.Either that, or it is magic. So glad you have added that to your repertoire." ~Jan Simmons Wenzler
