And to me, in my brain, it could not compute how can I be – how can I have been so athletic and so strong and never injured and now I can't do anything? No, I do not accept this. I'm going to start moving my ass. Right? M-Y-A, move your ass.

And sure enough, like, did I have really rough moments? You know, there was one time I went to the gym where I thought I was, I was getting better and things were starting to finally open up and I was feeling looser. I went to go do pull-ups. I tell this to my patients who come to me with disc herniations all the time. I went to go do pull-ups. I let go. I was good during the pull-up. I let go.

The moment my foot touched the ground, boom, crumbled down to the floor. I have to crawl out of the gym. We start from scratch. There were moments where it took 20 minutes to get into my car. But did that stop me from loading? No. I found the moves, the things that caused me the discomfort. I fought through it, and that's how I got out of it.

I recently launched an online movement platform because there are so many, I kept getting so many messages, thousands of messages like, hey, you know, because I'm only licensed to work with people in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. But people kept messaging from all over the world like, hey, I want to work with you.

And she was a runner all her life. And her doctor wanted to operate and fuse the next segment, L4-L5. And her goal was to run the Boston Marathon in April. Now, she started in my platform on my app a month ago and horrible pain, could not run. One month later, through this platform, this past weekend, she just ran her first 13.1 miles.
