Aaron is a powerlifter who began experiencing chronic and debilitating back and leg pain. His neurologist told him that he "needed to stop thinking of himself as someone with a healthy spine," and that he needed to stop training with weights. He had given up on ever getting stronger and was beginning to accept that the rest of his life would just be avoidance of pain.
Fortunately, Aaron made his way to the physical therapists at Body Structure, where he learned that the human body is far more resilient than he previously realized. As part of a team, Aaron slowly and intelligently reintroduced old movements and learned more about the physiology of pain. Today, he has returned to work, and is now training with weights again regularly, and is getting stronger every day.
He told us, "I never thought I'd ever be able to get under a barbell again. Gosh, it feels so good."
