The myofascial release techniques that are used in this practice have made a huge difference in my physical health. Hanna at Uplift is an expert in isolating and treating pain. In recent years, I had found a love for a kickboxing class and attended regularly. After a painful slip and fall, I was no longer able to participate in the class without major discomfort in my right hip. Even two years later, I was still in pain doing certain exercises in this class. One day last winter after I worked out, I experienced the hip twinge again. This time, I could not even walk without excruciating pain off and on for a week. Hanna at Uplift did a one- hour myofascial session on me to detect the issue and deal with it. The very next day I was up and moving with no pain at all. Once my hip issue was resolved, I was able to continue classes, and also begin running again! I actually trained and ran my first half marathon! After the marathon,runner's knee had set in, and it hurt horribly. I could hardly walk, and thought I would probably not run again any time soon. Runner's knee had set in and I was in pain during every run; even if I ran only 1/2 mile. Once again, Hanna treated me with myofacscial technique, and I was able to feel significant relief. With a little rest and stretching after, I am back to running in 5-7 mile increments with no pain whatsoever. If you have never tried this type of physical therapy, i highly recommend it. Hanna Simmons is a miracle worker!!!
