After a serious Achilles tendon injury playing hockey, this 14-year-old athlete was told she would have to live with chronic pain for the rest of her life. She struggled to walk, missed out on sports and social activities, and even needed a wheelchair for longer outings. After starting at Align, she began seeing improvement within the first month and learned how to properly stretch, strengthen, and listen to her body to prevent future pain. Today, she’s back to playing hockey, biking, backpacking, and living an active, pain-free life.

Cindy came to Align with chronic pain from a poorly healed broken toe, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, knock knees, and low back issues. Through targeted exercises, proper stretching, and healthy footwear, she strengthened her feet, corrected her alignment, and built the stability needed to walk 20,000+ steps a day—pain-free.

Before Align, Melinda couldn't get it into her ski boot without excruciating pain. That's gone. Now she can ski! She’s continued with Align Online because she loves the personalized care she gets from her coach, Jaylee.
