Testimonials

I was in a horrible car accident 17 years ago where the whiplash caused ligaments in my neck to detach. I was told years later, that one or two ligaments did not reattach and the other ligaments had to do extra work to hold my head up. I lived with chronic neck and back pain for almost 15 years. Sitting at a desk and working-out everyday aggravated it, and so I was getting almost weekly massages and chiropractic work to ease the pain. Through working with Madison & the HBR program, with the reconditioning of my posture, range of motion, and mobility I’m now able to live a pain-free life. I'm not sorry to say I don't see my therapists anymore. Madison is extremely knowledgeable about mobility, inflammation management, nutrition, strength training, and accountability measures. He’s a joy to work with and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to decrease pain and inflammation, lose weight, and live a healthier life.  

For my business I travel and sit a LOT and it has certainly taken tolls on my body. More specifically the biggest tolls have been the 40lbs I’ve put on in the last 5 years (largely around my gut), and what became even more serious was the chronic pains in my back from Sciatica (both right and left side) for the past 2 years. Luckily I found Madison’s Health By Ratio Program, and literally in 2 weeks my sciatica went away… after 2 years of straight agony… it was gone in 2 weeks! Six months later, I am down 20lbs, move better than I have in 20 years, and am happy to report still no signs of sciatic pain.  

Finding the time and motivation to be active, exercise, stretch, or even move was always a struggle for me until I found Health By Ratio & Madison. I work full-time, I’m a mother, and a wife and the thought of anything physical always seemed like just another thing to add to my plate. Plus, with hours at the desk comes chronic aches and pains, and that made the couch look ever more inviting. Still, my goal was to move better, lean out and get functionally stronger to keep up with my 6 year old. So with a little help & guidance I’ve been able to maintain my commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Now, I genuinely want to exercise regularly, and even crave it at times! Thanks to him (and myself for taking the steps to get there), I am stronger, move better, and in the best shape I have ever been in, and I’m in my 40’s!

Being an active mother of two I enjoy playing tennis, skiing, bike riding, etc and working with Madison and the Health By Ratio Program on my overall mobility and stability has not only translated to being pain free with my shoulder, elbow and thoracic spine but also my overall performance has improved drastically in the things I love to do! I have faster reaction times and quicker feet on the court, major improvements in my core and overall strength, as well as feeling much better conditioned due to my body functioning so much more efficiently. 

After being an avid runner for years, I came down with the trifecta of bad ailments: IT Band Syndrome, as well as Achilles and Patella Tendonitis. I tried a little bit of everything to correct my issues from chiropractic work, massage treatments, acupuncture appointments, and physical therapy. Yet despite all of this work I hadn't ran for more than 2 minutes straight for over 2 years. That was until just a couple weeks into my HBR program... I ran 3 miles, felt amazing, and then I was able to be on my feet all day coaching my daughter's soccer games. Today I'm back to weekly 10k's with minimal to no soreness, and my knees and achilles feel great!
