While vacationing in Australia, I tandem skydived with an instructor. A wind shear threw our parachute off course and we were hurled to the ground. As a result, I suffered a compound fracture (when bone pierces skin) of the right femur. After spending 4 months with a physical therapist, becoming disgruntled and dissatisfied with the rate of progress, I contacted Jason. Within 2 months I went from hobbling slowly up stairs with a severe limp to jogging up the stairs without a limp. I now have the ability to balance and stabilize myself once again.

* ProActive note: We now have her jogging on the treadmill, continually strengthening her core and leg musculature as well as re-developing her balance and stability.
