I just wanted to thank you for everything you’ve done for me over the past few months. You were so easy to talk to about something so personal, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to help me through it all.

Thank you Restore Motion! I was having a difficult time after prostate surgery, not knowing how to recover or how long it would take. After a few sessions my confidence was renewed and after a few weeks I felt like a new man! I am so thankful for your help and guidance through a very difficult time in my life, I would strongly recommend your business to all, thanks again.

My therapist is great. She is thorough. She finds the problem areas very easily.

Jennifer Chrisophel's Pilates techniques have been a godsend for me. As a person with EDS, Dysautonomia and Mitchondrial Disease, I struggle with both chronic pain and energy issues. Because I've already had 3 spina surgeries, having a strong core is vital to keep me from further injury and more importantly, additional surgeries. When I first began working with Jennifer, I was only able to exercise 15-20 minutes at a time. She worked slowly and methodically to build up my tolerance to the exercises while strengthening my core. It took close to a year, but I can now work at my pace for a full hour. Every day is different for the body of a person with EDS. An exercise that works well one week, may cause pain the next. Jennifer is constantly having to adapt exercises for what my body presents with at any given moment.

Miriam, your last treatment did wonders for my shoulder. It had improved with the standard PT, but after seeing you, the relief was exponential, not incremental!! Many thanks! I’m going to my yoga community retreat this week. I’ll be careful. It’s more spiritual than physically demanding, and it’s nice to see the (mostly) ladies. Warm regards, Wilma

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the time you spent working with me this morning and what a wonderful experience I have had with Restore Motion.
