January POTM

This might be one of my favorite POTM features yet! This guy started chiropractic care back in the fall for a minor injury that was affecting his ability to play the sport he loves. Now he's quickly made the transition to taking his health and performance into his own hands with his new motivation for regular maintenance care and trying to keep a consistent at-home strength/mobility routine. His maturity and awareness is pretty impressive! Quite the example-setter. Keep it up, Kevin. Happy to be a part of your journey.

How has chiropractic and working with Dr. Thornberry helped you work towards your health and fitness goals?: It has helped me improve my flexibility, relieved muscle pain in my back, and helped me pay attention to what my body is telling me. Dr. Thornberry listened to me when I told her that I wanted to improve my running speed and suggested that I become involved with a track and field club. Since doing that, I have been working on my running form and speed. This has helped me to become a better and quicker basketball player.
