Thank you for Ellese’s therapy. I thought you might like an update on her wrist! Let’s see…you released her at the end of December. She got back into competition slowly and didn’t compete a full meet (all four events) until mid February. She took her time and continued working out with the personal trainer during that time. Well, it paid off. She ended up qualifying for the Jr. Olympic National Meet in Long Beach were she placed 8th All-Around (vault, bars, beam and floor) in her age group of 56 gymnasts…..there were 450 gymnasts at this meet and she placed 17th or 18th out of the 450! Guess what her best event was? Remember how we believe she hurt herself on that “new” vault? Well the coach went back to doing her “old” vault but upgraded it to a 1-1/2 tuck instead of a tuck full and she placed 4th! Who’d a thought!?!!

We thought you might also like to see her video of that meet. Here is her YouTube link

Most of all we wanted to again thank you for your excellent care and advice! We hope that you are well and that your business continues to thrive!!

Ellese and Julie

Who would have thought I’d be happy to pay money in order to experience pain? I must be a masochist. All joking aside, I can highly recomend Hands On Care for your shoulder, elbow and hand therapy. After my nasty moutain bike accident, my therapist had me back in the saddle again within a few short weeks. This was all the more remarkable considering I had virtually zero motion in my elbow and wrist three weeks ago. She’ll bend parts of your body into positions that will make a grown man cry… but thankfully she does know when to stop. Her little evil grins while telling you to “relax” always had me cracking up in laughter. When it comes to physio, she was the best of both worlds… approachable but firm.

(I lied about the bike… I had the resistance set to level 8 – not level 4)
