“Bottom line is Kurt has helped me when no one else could.
He has been a godsend. ”
Kurt has helped me dig myself out of one of the darkest periods of my life; namely a 12 year stretch of chronic, debilitating lower back, hip, and knee pain due mainly to injuries accrued throughout the years. During this period, I traveled the country seeing the most renowned specialists (orthopedic surgeons, rehab specialists, trainers, sports doctors, etc.). Unfortunately along the way I also went through a few surgeries and procedures which actually made things worse. I essentially lost my 20's to a cycle of pain and depression which severely affected my personal and professional life.
The moment you meet Kurt, you understand he's working on another level, not just as a trainer, but as a person. I was immediately struck my his "no nonsense", positive energy. His assessment of my issues and the possible solutions made complete sense to me and he was confident he could help me. His uncanny ability to accurately evaluate what's happening with my body; great wealth of knowledge, and thorough and balanced training technique, have helped me greatly. He knows when to push, and more importantly when not to push; a very rare talent.
I've learned how my pain and disability are not "just" the result of a certain injury, of which there are many, but a combination of injuries plus bad movement patterns, coping mechanisms, and emotional trauma from as far back as my pre-teen years. This all affects how I pick up, say, a piece of paper from the floor and alternately, how I do a set of reps at the gym. This gets to the crux of how Kurt considers everything in the clients life to determine the best course of action for rehabilitation or to achieve whatever goal the client might have. For the first time in my life, I am beginning to wrap my head around the whole idea of a healthy balance between the body, mind, and life outside the gym. I am feeling better than I have in a very long time.
Bottom line is Kurt has helped me when no one else could. He has been a godsend. Thanks Kurt!
