I AM A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON
I walked in broken from past injuries, child birth, and generally not taking care of myself.
Almost four months later I am a completely different person. I haven't had a back issue in months. I'm leaner and clear headed. When I'm feeling rundown and haggard from my busy schedule, they bring me back, center me and remind me how everyday I get better and closer to the new self I'm creating.
Do yourself a favor. See what they can help you create for yourself and leave all your reservations at the door.
