This Testimonial
section is here to offer hope to the people who have tried everything they
can think of to overcome their pain and haven't been able to. The
testimonials you are about to read were written by clients who were/are
very happy with the results of the treatment they received at Therapy Central
of Round Rock...so much so they chose to share their stories with the rest
of the world. Are their results typical of our clients? Yes. Does everyone
have the same results? Of course not. As you read through these testimonials
you'll find that to be the case. It is prudent to be skeptical of any claims
having to do with your body or your health. Please talk at length with the
person(s) that referred you to us about their experience at Therapy Central
of Round Rock. Can we help you? I believe we can.

South
Austin Client Testimonial
I had been taking medication for the past 2 weeks and it was affecting my
stomach and the ability to think. I
(also) tried spinal Decompression. The treatment was very expensive and
I did not feel any relief.
I
had instant relief after the 1st treatment from Chris. I
stopped taking the medication and was able to spend
time with my boys in the batting cage. I am glad to have this wonderful
location down South. The treatment was very positive. Thanks again!

Susan,
I want to thank you for keeping me from getting an operation or shots on
my back like the doctors wanted to do. When I came to you I was on Vicodin
because the pain was so excruciating I could not stand it. I could barely
walk. The MRI showed a herninated L5 with a piece broke off. Your therapy
and advice on my physical life style has me feeling like a New Man. I pretty
much quit Pepsi...maybe one a week. I lost down to 207 from 228 hope to
break [200] someday. I changed what I eat and I run/walk 1 mile at least
4 times a week. My back gets real stiff sometimes after I've sat on the
combine all day but I don't have the constant pain I once did.
Thanks
for everything!

(Leg Pain)
I just wanted to say THANK YOU, YOU
ARE AMAZING!! I'm with Round Rock Fit, trainning to do the Freescale marathon
in Feb. My calves and shins got progressively tighter and stiffer as I trained,
my ankles started to become so painful that I was about to give up but thought
I'd give Therapy Central a try. Susan was the angel that beat the *%$@ out
of my legs but the next morning when I got out of bed it was the first time
in months that I wasn't stiff and limping in the morning. Thanks again for
the great work you do and for giving me the opportunity to continue to work
toward my goal of completing the marathon. Susan you're the best!

(Hip, Leg pain)
Susan, thanks so much
for helping me!!! Just from one visit my right hip is pain-free. I wanted
to slap you while you were working on me but I ran in the Cedar Perk 5-miler
2 days after my visit and had no pain whatsoever. What have I done all of
these years without you!!!
Thanks again, Faye
Linda Kaiser - Teacher, (San Antonio, Tx.)
(Back pain)
Susan, I just wanted to write and
say Thank you! I feel SO much better than I did last week! My back is not
aching, even in "the spot". I can turn around better to see behind
me when driving! I'm even walking differently. It seems more free moving.
(I don't know if that makes sense.)
I tried sleeping the way you showed me. Not comfortable. I am reading though
with my legs propped. I'll probably try some tennis ball work tonight.
Just wanted to let you know I don't hate you and you DID help me. I'll call
for another appt. as soon as my wallet allows! (Your prices are normal.
My budgeting skills stink!)
Talk to you soon.

(Cluster/Migrane
Headaches)
(Low Back Injury)
I
have suffered (and I use the term literally) from cluster headaches for
more years than I can remember at this point. I have experienced headaches
that I go to sleep with at night and wake up with the following morning
for an interval of weeks, sometimes months, with no relief.

(Back Pain, Sprained Ankle)
Hi! My name's Lily, and I'm a level 10 gymnast at AcroTex Gymnastics, in
Georgetown Texas. I have been training gymnastics since I was 6 years old,
and in the ten years of experience from it I know one thing is for sure:
you're gonna hurt. The older you get the more you hurt. Like my coaches

(Shoulder
pain/dysfunction)
I had been working for a cabinet

trying to get it into the back of the truck it started to tilt. I grabbed
it and pulled my shoulder. The next stop, More>

(Shoulder
pain/dysfunction, tennis elbow)
One day I woke up and experienced pain trying to lift my arm above my head. I
searched my memory trying to think of when & where I hurt myself. Nothing came to mind. After several weeks of "waiting for it to go away" I went to see an
orthopedic surgeon. He diagnosed a "sore shoulder" & gave

(Low back
pain/disability)
Some people claim how well my
daughter Amy is doing today is a miracle. I do believe in miracles but I
will tell you without a doubt how Amy is doing today is due to the talents
and knowledge of the one and only Ken Moench. If you have a competitive
athlete as a child our story about Amy may be More>
Wade Heidmann - Investor, ( Austin, Texas)
(Neck, upper, middle, low back pain)
First, I guess I should start by saying that my problems
are no worse than most of the patients Ken sees. Nothing more than a couple
of on-the-job upper and lower Back injuries, and serious car accidents anyway.
I first came to see Ken one recent summer after I was More>

(Shoulder/back pain/stiffness)
What a difference, took a little getting used

have never hit the ball with that kind of extension....fluid!
Thanks a ton,

YOU ROCK!

Roberts - Consultant, (Austin, Texas)
(Shoulder pain)
The first thing I want to say is that
I have very little faith in chiropractors, or in alternative medicines,
or in miraculous cures. Despite the remarkable things I had heard about
Ken Moench (nicknamed, Dr. Pain) I was reluctant to commit myself to what
I thought might be quackery. It was only because my friend, Bill Stott ,
insisted, and actually took me there personally, that I went. More>
Allison Hailey - Teacher/Massage Therapist, (Georgetown, Tx.)
(Hip/leg/heal pain)
I'm a runner. Ken says runners are all nuts. Maybe. But, it's kept
me in shape and healthy. But, I almost had to give it up. When I began training
for the Motorola Marathon in 2001, I got stuck at 6-8 miles. What I mean
is, I couldn't run more than 6-8 miles without my left ankle feeling pain
and unable to hold my weight as I stepped on it. This had happened before
many times, since More>

Both my son &
I had great success with Ken's type of therapy & was skeptical at first.
My son Casey was experiencing pain in his right arm when throwing the baseball
& had been going on for several weeks; was not able to pitch at all;
went to Ken for one visit & was back throwing the next practice &
no problems the rest of the spring season. More>
Greg Dahmer - (Round Rock, Tx.)
(Low back pain)
I've had lower
back pain for almost 3 years. I initially hurt my lower back doing squats.
The first time I've ever had back problems. Originally I went to a chiropractor
and had the x-rays and the whole slow process of going in 2 or 3 times a
week for months. Things didn't really seem to be moving as fast as I would
have liked to see. However, I went along with the program. Finally with
time and treatment, I was able to get back into a regular routine.

Donna
Barton - Back, Neck and Shoulder pain and how traditional treatment
DID NOT WORK....
It's
been almost a year now since my one and only appointment with you. It is
hard to remember the chronic back, neck and shoulder pain that motivated
me to spend – let's see – 18 visits times 1.75 hours equals 31.5 hours (not
including driving) seeking relief at a specialized clinic that combined
physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic care all in one place,
all in one appointment. They were all knowledgeable, deeply caring, extremely
competent people. But they worked under the restrictions of an insurance-based
system. When I came in with back pain, they all worked to treat that specific
back pain. When the pain would move to a different location in my back or
neck, their treatment would move there also. I would often feel much better
for a couple of days, but I would soon be desperate for my sometimes weekly,
sometimes twice weekly appointment, depending upon my progress. Once or
twice I even went in to an appointment with pain in my SI area and of course
they worked on that and showed me how to do core strengthening to remedy
that over time.
I finally went to see you at the insistence of a friend who couldn't bear
to see me with my neck locked – I had to turn my whole body to shoulder
check when I drove. I wondered what was wrong with me that none of the take-home
exercises worked, that after all this time and effort I was simply having
pain in different areas than when I started. I blamed myself for not doing
something right, or for aggravating their treatment somehow.
When I got to Therapy Central, you looked me over - me and my tight back
and neck muscles – and promptly announced you had to start with my SI in
order to resolve anything. My SI wasn't even actively bothering me! Your
explanation that what was misaligned below caused problems above made complete
sense. I put my body in your hands, and one appointment was all
it took to remove all that pain.
Since then, I have a great appreciation for all my precious connected parts
and I practice light yoga mindfully. I drink lots of water and try and sleep
in a position that agrees with my body. Thank you!
