The kettlebell made a HUGE difference in helping my back feel better, and I progressed to completing the Rite of Passage from Enter the Kettlebell using the 24 kg kettlebell. In spite of my progress, however, my back continued to bother me. I had a noticeable rounding-shoulders issue, and because my work still requires me to be in front of a computer for long amounts of time, my back would still frequently bother me at the end of a workday.

A friend recommended I speak to Dr. Nick Savatgy, a chiropractor and Active Release Therapy practitioner. That was three weeks ago, and already, my injury has all but disappeared. I paid for it out of pocket, and including the sessions with a physical therapist to learn some specific exercises for my rhomboids, the whole thing cost me a lot less than I thought it would because it only took five visits and I was almost completely cured. I walked in a big skeptic, because I’ve been burned by claims of ‘Oh yeah, we can fix that’ only to still have the problem after spending large amounts of money and time.

I’ve wasted enough money on things that don’t do what they claim to, and Active Release Technique actually lives up to the claim of fixing a problem fast. Now I’m doing Z-Health drills (r-phase) and the exercises shown to my by my physical therapist, and I’ve never felt stronger. I’m up to doing 5 ladders of 2 using the 32 kg kettlebell, and my posture has improved dramatically. I would never hesitate to recommend Active Release Therapy to anyone. And no, I did not get paid to say this. I’m just excited to have finally found something that worked.
Thanks for helping me with a chronic pain problem.”
