(Calgary, Alberta CA)
On a recent trip to
Calgary I was lucky enough to work with Greg for 1 week. During the course
of a week, using non-traditional and traditional techniques (listed below)
Greg decreased my daily pain level and restored tremendous range of motion to
both my hands (I can now flex my left hand almost 25 degrees more than I could
two weeks ago). Upon my return to Ontario last week I almost sent my Physical Therapist into
shock! :)
I am now attempting to move to Calgary so that I can work for an extended
period of time with Greg Webb. I feel I owe it to myself to rediscover pain
free living! I am now 26 and thanks to Greg I feel that there is hope for a
happier more active future.
