"As an executive for over 20 years, I have done more than my share of business travelling. About 8 years ago, all that carrying, sitting, and running around caused joint pain in my hip, shoulder and elbow.

Chiropractors gave me minimal relief. When the heat or ice treatments of physical therapy wore off, the pain was still there. There were times when the pain in my shoulders felt as if someone were turning a dagger in my back!

Bill began working with me a few months ago. His work on body alignment and muscle strengthening was quick and effective. The pain in my shoulder, hip and elbow is gone. We laughed about my being in the "remove-a-pain-a-week-club". The BodyFix Method and I did the work, together. The at-home menus are part of my life, now.

After years of chronic and severe pain, I am now pain free."

"For the past several years, I have been recovering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the result of a serious medical condition and several surgeries. One of its many side effects was that I experienced a breakdown of certain nerves and muscles in my hip and upper leg. For several months, I was unable to walk more than a few steps and until six months ago, no more than 30-50 yards at a time.

I had seen neurosurgeons, neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and even deep tissue massage therapists and acupuncturists. All had different opinions as to my condition and all had different solutions. None worked. Indeed, one surgeon suggested that I have my sacroiliac joint fused!

By chance, a golfing acquaintance who knew I wasn't playing golf anymore, told me to see Bill Boland. I took his suggestion, limped into Bill's office, and after  a few sessions, he identified my condition as one consequence of dysfunctional muscles, most of which had gone into an "amnesia-like" status. Certain muscles in my hip and leg had lost their ability to function. For the last several months, Bill has been applying a program of muscle activation, using principles of corrective isometrics, which has been extremely effective. My condition is practically cured.

Bill and I are still working together, but I have returned to walking, golf, other athletic activities and I am virtually pain free. I firmly believe and many professionals agree, that absent Bill's intervention, this chronic nerve/muscle injury could have lasted the rest of my life.

I feel a deep sense of gratitude to Bill."

"The BodyFix Method of therapeutic exercises created by Bill Boland has given me a new lease on life. I am pain free, my body is in alignment, and my balance is greatly improved.

I have a neurological condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth ("CMT"), which affects the muscles of the lower limbs and feet as well as the forearm and hands. Balance is poor, walking is difficult and tying shoes is no picnic. CMT causes extreme fatigue, exacerbated by misalignment, often caused by scoliosis, which I have. There is no recognized treatment for CMT.

My condition was rapidly deteriorating. I had severe hip and knee pain. I went to orthopedists, neurologists, and physical therapists, but could not get relief. I was about to give up. Then, I began working with Bill. He gave me hope.

His program is completely individualized. You progress at your own pace. The exercises are sequential. The menus are easy to understand. Bill includes pictures and explains each exercise and its purpose. He always seems to be available whenever I have a question or concern.

I am straighter and stronger than I have been in years. I receive compliments from family and friends on how well I look. My walking is better and less tiring, as it's now much more efficient. My clothes fit better and above all, I am completely pain free!"
