Greater Than Performance and Rehab

I've always been a moverpassionate about ballet, jazz, hip-hop, flamenco, skiing, horseback riding, and more. As a cheer captain and flyer, I reveled in the joy of an active lifestyle. However, I always struggled with regular sprains, strains, and general body discomfort. My journey took an unexpected turn during middle school when a routine scoliosis check revealed a significant "s" curve in my spineeach bend measuring around 34 degrees. Wearing a back brace for 18 hours a day, every day, for two years, became a necessary but challenging part of my life. Despite the mostly invisible nature of my condition, the pain and physical challenges persisted, limiting my ability to lead the active lifestyle I loved. Fast forward to a ski trip in 2021, a torn ACL and meniscus unveiled a new layer of struggles with the diagnosis of a syndrome characterized by extreme hyper-mobility and resulting in regular injuries. I was devastated and felt as though my vision of my life as someone who loved to ski, hike, play pickle-ball, and more was over. The diagnosis seemed to put an end to my active lifestyle, as surgical intervention was not an option, and I would be subjected to living life as a coper (individuals with an ACL deficient knee that cope without the inherent ligamentous stability of the ACL). Enter TJ Burkea game-changer in my life. His understanding of the body goes beyond the typical personal trainer, and he took the time to truly comprehend my journey. Under TJ's guidance, my life underwent a remarkable transformation. He not only strengthened my leg but also addressed the imbalances caused by my scoliosis, offering relief from a lifetime of pain. TJ has gone out of his way to study my syndrome and put together a training plan tailored to my body. In a world where no medical cure or treatment could fully alleviate my scoliosis and hyper-mobility, TJ's personalized routine became my lifeline. Today, I not only feel better physically but also carry a newfound confidence that I thought was lost forever. TJ's kind soul, gentle nature, and genuine care for his clients are unparalleled. His dedication has been nothing short of a miracle, and I am eternally grateful for the positive impact he's had on my health and overall well-being. Thank you, TJ, for giving me my life back. Your expertise, empathy, and unwavering support have made all the difference.
