Emotional Blocks Held Me Back

NET has helped me be a better soccer player and not be so mad at my mom all the time. It has helped me “release” emotions that I didn’t even know were locked in my body and making me react in a certain way. I had lots of emotions about being adopted and thinking my birth parents didn’t want me to be a part of their team. That was my “emotional reality”. That means it doesn’t have to be really true, it is just what my mind thinks is true for me. NET has helped me be OK with being part of a team whether that is my family or my sport or my friends. I got rid of the emotions and that stopped them from coming back to haunt me.

Doing NET with Terri has helped me in all the sports I play. One of the ways she helped was to be OK with myself if I didn’t make the team and if I did make the team. Also, that I would be OK if I didn’t play as much as others. This fall as part of my team thing Terri came and helped my whole soccer team before we played in this year’s State Cup. It was amazing and made believers out of my friends. Our team had lots of issues. We had friends and teammates leave, we were angry, we’d had a terrible season and could not act like a team if it killed us. With a little NET she helped all of us get OK with our ball, let our lost teammates go in peace, get over our mad and believe we were a winning team. We played fantastic soccer that weekend. We played as a team. And we played great. We took 2nd place, but we played with positive energy and we played as a team. Before the NET we were mentally defeated. NET helped our play because we knew we’d be OK whether we won or we lost. And we were.

Back Pain Gone

Hey! This is Josie (Coe College freshmen XC runner) I just wanted to give you an update! Yesterday (Tuesday) I ran five miles, because the coach told me seven was to much to just jump right back into after two and a half weeks of not running:) it felt soooooooooooooo much better! It was still extremely stiff on my right side but the pain in my back was gone! Today I ran a tempo run for twenty minutes and it was brutal only because I just need to get back into a rhythm. Once again my right side hip/quad were very stiff, but I can totally live with that! OK I just wanted to state the facts: I could not run for two and a half weeks while working with the trainers. The whole time asking them, “do you think I should go see a Ciro?” or “are you sure I shouldn’t go see a Ciro?” but really…. and for two and a half weeks I so NO improvement! Finally, out of frustration, I decided to go anyway and through a family friend I was recommended to you….and within two days I was running…yeah… I just wanted to say thanks! I was really nervous about going to a new Ciro because I really like the one I went to in my home town. However, you and the people you work with are awesome and I really appreciate how you worked me into the schedule even though I was a new patient! So once again thank you for getting me back into to running so fast! Thanks,

Athletic Performance / Aches and Pains

I am now 18 years old, and I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember. With being so active almost 365 days a year, I have acquired my fair share of aches and pains. The doctors and physical therapists that I have seen throughout the years have all wanted to help me out, but I never received any type of caring and treatment like what I received with Wholistic Wellness. On my very first visit with Dr. Cooper, she sat me down along with my mom and took a solid 20-30 minutes to explain to us how the body functions together and how slight variations in the structure can make a huge impact on our body’s potential to function (something no other doctor had ever taken the time to do). I had come to see Dr. Cooper for a pulled hamstring. I had pulled the same muscle the previous year to about the same severity, and I was extremely skeptical because it had taken me about two months to get it healed with the physical therapist I had been seeing. But, this time was a little different. There was only two weeks until my district track meet, which I had to run in to qualify for state. After my first visit with Dr. Cooper, I left her office feeling twenty times better than I ever could’ve imagined. I was still extremely reluctant to believe I could be back running in time, but that all changed when I was able to suit up and run in the meet two weeks later. Until now, I had never even considered or heard of the use of chiropractic as a physical therapy method. The only use I knew for chiropractic was to help people with bad backs. Now, my eyes have been opened to the wonders that they can do, and I see no need in seeing a doctor/physical therapist for any injuries I come across because I know who can help me the most. Thanks Dr. Cooper, you have really opened my eyes to something I don’t know how I used to live without.

Increased Sportsmanship

My 8-year-old was having a problem with sportsmanship. He would cry and throw a fit if he didn’t win every game he played. I tried for years to help him deal with losing but nothing worked. After just one NET session with Dr. Cooper, he’s no longer a “sore loser”. Now, there’s no pouting or anything! I wouldn’t believe it unless I experienced the difference myself.
