Within a very short period of time, it was clear that further investigation was required to determine a positive corrective course of action.Tom was introduced to Melanie who immediately was able to assess the issue and create a training regimen that suited Tom knowing that, as he progressed, so too should his training routine.<\/p>\n<p>With consistent 1x\/week therapy on the neck, upper back and shoulder and a conditioning program under regular supervision at the studio, the pain level and mobility improved substantially in about 6 months. After 1 year of consistent training and therapy at SPORT Specialists, Tom had regained over 90% of normal mobility!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always been a strong promoter of active for life and that maintaining a regular level of physical activity , will lead to a better quality of life as I age\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, well into my sixties ,I am playing the best golf I have ever played and continuing to enjoy a fairly active lifestyle in a variety of activities and sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been involved with organizations that train and develop elite athletes and have seen their successful return from serious injuries when the correct path and support is provided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was given a correct path and guidance from the team at SPORT Specialists that I did follow over a significant period of time and achieved the results and outcome of the work and support.
