"Free from the jail of ... chronic pain" says Tamara

I want to let you know how much your training and the ADAPT Training system has changed my life. As you know, I have been in several severe physical accidents; the first being an elevator fall from 16 floors and the second being my most recent car accident on April 14, 2005. I suffered numerous neck and back injuries and was in horrible and constant chronic pain. My doctor put me on Morphine 24 hours per day.

After one session with you, I experienced such immediate physical relief that I only had to take a few Vicodin once that week instead of taking Morphine 24/7. After that first session with you and two sessions of take home exercises, I was able to quit all pain medication completely.

As I shared with you in a recent training session, I want to shout your name and ADAPT’s name from the rooftop. Everyone in my life and my work has noticed an immediate change in me. I finally feel free from the jail of constant, disabling chronic pain.

Lower back pain gone says Portland Metro firefighter

For the past 4 years I have been a firefighter in the Portland Metro area. On December 25th of 2005 I sustained a back injury while responding to an emergency call. My injury prevented me from working in my normal capacity for the next four months.

During my time off from regular duty I attempted several types of treatment for my lower back injury and none of them seemed to work. They were all designed to focus on just my injury. My treating physician said that I not only needed to rebuild my injury but strengthen the rest of my body as well. After some research and speaking with my fire department's Wellness Coordinator I sought treatment at ADAPT.

ADAPT was different. They were not only interested in treating my injury but had an overall plan to bring balance back to my body. I was given a full evaluation that looked at my body’s function as a whole. The results were then explained to me along with the plan for treatment.

My previous physical therapy treatments were just pulled off of worksheets. ADAPT made a custom program and then modified and changed it as I progressed. The program was always explained in detail and the therapist made sure that I understood all of the exercises.

Before receiving treatment at ADAPT I wondered if I would ever get back to work. After 8 weeks at ADAPT I was able to return to full duty as a firefighter. Within a week of returning to work I was on the first due engine at a two alarm apartment fire. After two and half hours of hard work my back was pain free.

The ADAPT program went beyond my expectations in both treatment and results. I received excellent support and care from the staff. I would not hesitate recommending ADAPT to anyone.
