Andy’s Story- Sciatica Pain Journey
I now have zero pain and can do anything I want to without pain again. I am now back to the person I was before the pain started. But even stronger and confident about what I need to do to keep myself in this position. Have patience and do exactly what your coach tells you to do. Don’t try and go it on your own and do more because you feel better one day. Slow and steady progress will win the race.

What I love most about Align are the people and the process. Align is fun- the coaches and the clients. Unlike stuffy, rigid facilities, Align is an open space, playful, and engaging while getting the necessary work done.

I love the consistent accountability.

“This is my one life with my one body, and I don’t want to be held back. I better build good things now. When I am in pain, I can’t do what I want to do.
