I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with Friedreich's ataxia when I was
19. I had the pleasure of working with Tom three months ago, in
September. To put it simply, it's all true. This is priceless
knowledge that anyone with mobility issues needs to be familiarized.
When Tom and I started I was walking very slowly and rigidly, with
frequent and painful falls. I am still walking slowly, as this is
a learning process for certain, but I am less rigid, getting faster, and
have considerably fewer falls.
Tom and I had four sessions over three weeks, none exceeding two hours.
They consisted of a combination of learning the theory and philosophy
behind the method, and practicing what he was showing me. Since that
time I have incorporated what I learned into my daily exercise and
living practices, and I improve every day with no additional coaching.
I wouldn't say it's easy, but very doable.
I have a hard time explaining to anyone the joy I get from these
improvements. There is a little party inside my head every time
something clicks. I recently jumped and landed it for the first time in
years. It was amazing. And a couple days ago, I visited with a
friend I see about once a year. Right away he asked what I had been
doing to improve my mobility. He said it was night and day from the
last time he saw me.
On top of how great all of this is, Tom is a great person. He gets it
all. He knows the mental blockades we face, and how we can get through
them. Tom makes these difficult sessions fun. I give my strongest
endorsement.
If you want to hear more about anything, feel free to reply.
Happy New Year, and Godspeed,
