The following is a testimonial from Octavia Parker, a corrective exercise client who I was fortunately enough to work with and help through rehabilitative exercise. These are her exact words:
Melissa Allen, owner of Optimum Condition is the best personal trainer that I’ve had the privilege of working with. I have known Melissa for approximately 4 years. I’ve struggled with maintaining my weight for some time. I was committed to the Medifast program but not to working out. I was referred to Melissa by Kim Ruby, Nutritionist at University Compounding Pharmacy.
Melissa helped me to rehabilitate my back and left knee. Losing weight and strengthening exercises go hand in hand. I injured my back years ago. Presently I suffer from low back pain, numbness down my right leg and nueropathy in my right foot. Weight reduction and strengthening my back has helped.
Insurance companies limit the number of Physical therapy appointments that one can access. I told my doctor about Melissa and the strengthening regime that she and I worked on. The doctor was delighted with Melissa’s work and encouraged me to continue the workouts.
The next dilemma was with my left knee. I’ve had 4 knee surgeries to repair a torn meniscus. I finally went to a Sports Medicine Dr. who use to work for the San Diego Chargers. He operated on my knee in 2012. The surgery was quite extensive with a long period of rehabilitation. Again, insurance companies limit the number of treatments. I told my doctor about Melissa and he was delighted that I was working out with her. I showed him the pamphlet from Optimum Condition that described various programs. He encouraged me to continue working with Melissa.
I literally went from not being able to bend my left knee to now being able to squat. I cannot thank Melissa enough for all of the work she did to help me to overcome some physical limitations.
Sincerely,
Octavia Parker
