Sports Medicine for Injuries, Prevention of Injuries and MuscoSkeletol Correction

Getting Optimal Performance out of the Serious Athlete

Hugh has successfully treated individuals whose chronic pain had not been resolved by some of the top rated rehab centers in the world.

Many soccer players, who were suffering from chronic injuries and ailments, have been healed, as well as other athletes, including golfers, skaters and tri-athletes.

Says one athlete...

"A certain time ago, I had an unfortunate fall in which I was rammed from behind by another person, causing a concussion and later many problems with ligaments, muscles, alignment, and overall extreme pain and discomfort throughout my whole spine.

He Tried Everything...

"Over the course of five years I went to a number of physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists in hopes to not only relieve the discomfort and pain, but to actually correct the original problem, so that I may continue with the rest of my life, normally!

"I continually was disappointed in the treatments I was getting and truly did not feel that anyone was really listening to what I was trying to explain to them. I did not feel that my injuries were taken individually, because no two injuries are exactly alike. Even those who seemed to understand disappointed me still by funneling back into the routine of sticking machines and hot packs on me. There were no significant results that had yet occurred.

"Strengthening was not only painful but only seemed to solidify my discomfort. Everything seemed to slip back quite quickly. It was very repetitive and exhausting, and if you are like me, you hate the idea of going to a chiropractor once a week for the rest of your life! There was something still missing, but I could not describe what it was. I just knew there was something not happening.

Nothing Worked Until He Met Hugh...

"By the course of a mere fluke, I was lead to hear about Myofascial Release Therapy, a treatment that works on the connective tissues of the muscles. Although prepared for disappointment, I was willing to try this treatment.

"After one session with Hugh [, whose technique includes Myofascial Release Therapy as well as several of his own protocols], I was absolutely amazed. The feeling you get while doing myofascial release is a knowing feeling and a feeling of letting your body heal its self gently. To me, it was that something, that missing link. Furthermore, myofascial release therapy eventually becomes more than healing your body, it also becomes emotional healing. That feeling in your mind, of what no discomfort would feel like and what your abilities would be without these problems, starts to become a reality. You begin to actually realize that there is an end to this and a while emotional and mental change occurs.

"After treatment everyday for just over a month and a half, I was at a place where in my mind I could imagine being, but only a short time earlier didn’t really know if I would ever get there.

"I would recommend myofascial release therapy to anyone, especially those who have suffered long term problems from any trauma or trauma’s and can relate to what I have just said.

"The only advice I would give someone prior to coming to myofascial release therapy is to really come to this treatment as you came to your very first treatment a long time ago; hopeful, uninhibited, and open. I say this simply because the majority of people who come to this kind of treatment have most likely already been through a number of different treatments and are frustrated, disappointed and exhausted from it.

"Myofascial Release therapy is truly the ultimate in my mind. This work produces results and you will see that this work speaks for itself."
