★★★★★ 5/5

“My clinician didn’t get distracted by the pain — she looked past it and very quickly showed me where the pain was actually stemming from.”

– Chelsea, Virtual Consultation Client

★★★★★ 5/5

“Within days of starting the exercises, the pain in my big toe joint was practically gone. It was still sore to the touch but my mobility had improved and it no longer hurt from use. Wow!

I feel like I am in a new body. I still have to put the work in and do the exercises regularly to keep my joints happy but it is so worth it. Thanks, Gait Happens and Dr. Lineberger, for keeping me roadworthy! No one wants to be around me when I can’t run:)”
