Simone’s Success Story

Simone has been experiencing extreme Pelvis, Hips and Lower Back health issues. Her problems started 13 years ago after the second pregnancy.

Some of the symptoms were sharp pain in the lower back, difficulty getting out of the chair and bending over. The pain mainly peaked in the morning and at the end of the day in the lower back and in the pelvis area.

This has been taking a toll on her daily activities. She had numerous treatments and limited results. Osteopaths only offered a short-term relief. She tried trainer but the pain was persistent and returned with vigor.

Simone started seeing the physiotherapist at Eglinton Physiotherapy and things began to change for her. It was identified during the assessment process with Andra that there was a decreased Force closure (decreased recruitment of the muscles around the pelvis needed for loading such as when walking) on Left more than Right Pelvis and Hip complex. A comprehensive assessment was taking place throughout the treatment plan and targeted exercises were given. In addition, Hands-on Therapy, Medical Acupuncture, Low Level Laser Therapy and Pulsed Radio Frequency were utilized for a multi modal approach.

Currently Simone has improved hips and pelvis control considerably, has a good awareness and connection with her CORE and is doing much better with the long-standing discomfort. The pain persistence is “not all day” and “A LOT LESS!”

Simone is happy to continue to thrive and get stronger, increased walking distance and the athletic endeavors such as hiking and running.

Due to Andra’s expert problem solving skills, Simone can live with minimal discomfort and continue building on. She continuously receives reassessment from Andra to ensure treatments are benefiting her systematically.
