Back on Track After Sports Injury Recovery

I was really happy to receive this wonderful testimonial from Carole in New York who I have been helping recover from sports injury:

"I had a massive ski accident in March 2010: multi fracture of the tibia and of the tibial plateau. I have a rod along my tibia and one in my knee with eleven pins. I lost all my quadriceps muscles in two weeks. After that, I had to learn again how to walk. I started in the water, then on land. I worked with physical therapists and highly qualified professionals. After exercising every single day for a year, my legs were still not the same size, I was panicked in crowd, my quadriceps stopped growing and my spirits were very low. I met Anna and after seeing me walk for 30 seconds she discovered what nobody had seen before: I was not putting any weight at all on my injured leg. I saw Anna on a weekly basis in private classes and exercised at home strictly following the personal routine of exercises she had set up for me. My quads grew bigger before our very eyes and in four months I was back on track and able to join the collective Body Ballet® class at CDAB.

I feel greater than ever, physically and mentally. Anna knows particularly well how the human body moves and was able to tell me which movements were appropriate for me without putting any weight on the knee, which was strictly forbidden in my case. She also suggested which food to favor in order to grow muscle. Her endless energy helped me never to give up. Thank you so much Anna, you provide the best sports injury recovery service in New York City!"

It makes it all so worthwhile when I get feedback like this! There's a version also in French on my website!
