I have bad back arthritis and degenerative disc disease. I was facing fusion surgery. I was seeking a therapist who would focus on me only and provide personalized attention to my issues. Jim is that guy as your sessions with him are one on one. His sessions have rebuilt my core and reduced my pain dramatically. He has taught me how to continue this at home and for long term. His knowledge is second to none. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants personalized attention and the key follow-up. Because of his work I have avoided the dreaded fusion surgery.
