When I first met Dr. Abraham my physical state was in shambles. Pain was my daily routine. I was an avid runner in my 20s, and an active baseball player, running every day, feeling great, staying in great shape, and loving life. Then an accident caused my hamstring to tear badly. As a professional physical trainer, I knew what exercises ought to help recovery, but those did not work. Neither did the Physical Therapists make me any better despite years of trying. The pain spread from the hamstring to the hips, the legs, up to the neck, almost everywhere. After each night doing an hour of stretching, each morning had me feeling as though I’d been in a car accident. I would have to stretch for at least 30 minutes just to get the day going. Little did I know then but the next several years were nothing more than a whirlwind of constant pain, horrific compensation issues. My body was just a mess. Dr. Abraham was the first Doctor I’d ever met who took the time to acknowledge and understand my pain. This is very unusual for any doctor but incredibly comforting for me as the patient. He started his examination with my feet. I found this very unorthodox but after over an hour in my initial consultation, he made careful diagnoses. YES, Dr. Abraham takes the time to listen, to properly do an exam, and to carefully diagnose. He developed a treatment plan. Between the safe shots (never any steroid) and fascia work, my life has changed. I had severe forearm pain that would normally require Tommy John surgery, like for baseball pitchers. But after just one week of working with the doctor, the pain went away! If you know pain you know how mentally exhausting it can be and that is a big part of what Dr. Abraham brings to the table, taking away that mental stress of not feeling good. The doctor also worked with me on my knee problems which turned out to be hip issues and feet issues. By following his protocol, these problems have dissipated and continue to get better. I no longer need that hour of evening stretching or the half-hour in the a.m. My stretching is again for maintaining fitness and flexibility, not relieving pain. Dr. Abraham is one of a kind as this treatment is a life-changing opportunity for those open to it.
