Brian saved my athletic career. Paula had been unable to train She had pursued the finest sports medicine professionals in the world, including podiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, acupuncturists and physical therapists and none had relieved her deteriorating condition. Brian's assessment of Paula's injury revealed chronic tendon, ligament, muscular and bone damage, as well as improper biomechanical movement. Within a month of Brian's treatment, Paula's foot was healed and she was running pain-free. She resumed competition at the highest level and won her next Ironman World Championship. Paula and Brian maintain a close relationship while Paula continues to be recognized as one of the greatest athletes in the world.

I had suffered from chronic stress fractures and lower leg pain. As a professional triathelete, this problem caused inconsistent training. Brian's work enabled me to train and race without any breaks due to injury. He not only keeps my fragile areas under control; he also educates me on the biomechanics of my problem and the stretching necessary to keep on track. Without the help and guidance that Brian has given me, my athletic career would have ended prematurely. Brian continues to keep my body at its peak level so that I can maintain the highest level of training and racing possible.

Ely Callaway, age 82, had been combating severe pain of the neck, shoulder, and hand for over a year. Conventional medical care and prescription drugs offered only partial relief. Neck surgery was the next recommended step. Brian implemented a daily regimen of stretching, breathing, alignment and bio-mechanics to cure a 30 year old chronic stiffness. “Within five months I was healed and able to play golf without pain.” When Ely was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer he requested Brian to act as his primary physician.

I am a professional athlete so it is crucial for me to recover quickly. I have been injured twice due to impact at high speed and underwent ACL reconstruction in both my knees and worked with Brian through each injury. My goal was to be 100% by 6 months. I accomplished this goal with the help of Brian - a complete recovery. Along with his hands-on care of my knees and legs, he gave me stretches to help the muscles loosen up and get the energy flowing properly. Working with Brian has taught me the benefits of stretching, understanding my diet and body alignment/posture. I know I could not have achieved the same results without his treatment.

I was facing the end of my running career.” Suffering from a torn hamstring tendon, Steve had exhausted conventional medical treatment including injections in his hamstrings and medication for the cramps. Brian repaired the hamstring tendon and relieved the chronic cramping. Steve began a flexibility training program, became pain free and returned to world class form.

My injury began as a stiff neck, and developed into chronic pain in my left arm. An MRI showed that I had a herniated disk. A "cervical laminectomy" (a surgical procedure meant to create more space for the pinched nerve) was recommended. I wasn't quite ready to go under the knife and sought alternative treatment, yet until I began working with Brian, there had been no noticeable improvement. Through specific stretching exercises and altering my posture and body mechanics I became personally involved in my own recovery. Brian helped me understand the nature of my problem better than any other health care professional I had dealt with I am now both bicycling and playing tennis again.

I've used the exercise sequences in Brian's books in teaching yoga to my students both advanced and beginners -- and the benefit to them has been marked, both physically and emotionally. These books are such a useful teaching tool. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to feel better and move better. I'm looking forward to new editions!

Yoga Instructor
I systematically had to give up every sport I enjoyed because of repeated back injuries that lasted for months. Weekly visits to chiropractors did nothing towards straightening my back or reducing injuries. After treatment with Brian, however, I felt better in weeks. My back is now strong and I never have problems. Brian has reconditioned my entire body and given me a whole new life.

Brian's technique and knowledge of muscle and joint kinesiology has allowed him to loosen my knees, shoulders, elbows and wrists without surgical intervention. I had arthritis in every joint and almost no range of motion. His massage work, combined with stretch and strengthening have strengthened my joints and returned my flexibility allowing me to stay flexible in the future.

I learned that Brian can alleviate many conditions which others believe can only be resolved with surgery.. He's a wealth of knowledge.

I had a debilitating situation in my knee and could barely walk, let alone run long distances. After seeing many massage therapists, doctors, chiropractors and even acupuncturists, the condition was not remedied and I had set an appointment for surgery. Luckily, a friend referred me to Brian before the scheduled date. It took a lot of faith, deep tissue work, stretching exercises and patience, but we eventually got there. Less than 2 years later I ran my first marathon. I then went on to qualify for Team USA, to compete in the World Amateur Duathlon Championship.

After enduring a back problem for 15 years, , during which I worked with various healing professionals to no avail, I finally found lasting relief through my work with Brian. His knowledge of the muscles, tissues and joints is augmented by his knowledge of yoga postures and their effect on the body. He educates you on correcting your posture and gives a series of stretches that will be a large part of the work.

As a 53-year-old man, with a wife and kids, a business requiring massive effort and a passion for hurling my body into outrageous stress as a long distance RaceWalker, it was inevitable I was heading for a physical breakdown. I am certain this fact was no surprise to you, when I darkened you doorstep in severe, chronic pain, which had been steadily getting worse for several years. For one and a half years you have been guiding me towards a solution requiring no drugs, no operations; all I needed was to change my attitude, exercise regularly and get back to the basics of breathing, posture, diet and attitude, which I now firmly believe, will help me remain much more healthy for the rest of my life! In all this I wish to say to you Brian, you have made a most wonderful change in my outlook on my body and its relationships. You have a gift of healing and educating, which I very much admire and enjoy.

Dave Thorpe
Entrepreneur and CEO
When I first met Brian I was having difficulty walking without pain in my left foot. Although I am not an athlete, I had a personal goal of running a marathon, and sought treatment by sports medicine professionals, Podiatrists, cortisone injections, temporary leg casts and sleeping splints all to little or no relief for over 9 months. Within the first week of Brian's care, however, with education about proper biomechanics, in conjunction with hands on treatment, I was on the path to recovery. I accomplished my goal of completing a full marathon with a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart for Brain. He is truly a gifted healer.
