Great guy; Did notice what I needed and gave the right therapy and exercises to have my back issues addressed. Looking forward to find a way to have those back issues not re-appear in the future.

In August 2023, I fractured my spine, had a herniated and degenerative disc (L5-S1), and developed spondylolisthesis. Going from being very active to suddenly hearing from a spine specialist that I would not be able to exercise for a long period of time and would have to dramatically change my routine, due to my spine injury, was one of the most painful and scariest moments of my life. That’s when I met James and Dr. Gustavo at UPANDRUNNING. James not only was encouraging, but he also understood and listened to me. He recognized the importance of being able to continue exercising, not just for my physical well-being, but also for my mental health. James created a program that allowed me to gradually regain my strength and mobility (and get rid of the pain!). I worked with James consistently for 15 weeks, and I owe my progress and ability to return to my normal life to him and Dr. Gustavo. I am incredibly grateful for James' patience and care. It never felt like he was just my physiotherapist; I truly felt that he cared and was part of my team I cannot praise James enough and would highly encourage anyone to work with him.
