Weakness is the enemy, and I’ve spent my career battling it. Almost every patient who has ever come into the clinic has demonstrated some degree of weakness, and with it often comes decreased safety and a decline in function. When weakness persists, it can become permanent. Battle it away, and you can help patients recover all or most of their former abilities.

It’s surprising how fast you can lose strength after a physical mishap or illness, or fall into a rut of not exercising and decreased activity. It can seem nearly impossible to regain muscle strength. Never fear, however, because I have a solution for you.
