| - Dr. Boothe is fantastic - HIGHLY recommend him!
Like many others on here - i cannot say enough good things about him. If you are on the fence on going, just go - you will be glad you did.
For me, one of the best aspects about Dr. Boothe is his build and his precise motor control abilities. I'm not a small fragile girl - I'm a 5'8" sz 6 girl that has some muscle on her. I don't want a man or woman that is my size working on me and my muscles - it's practically pointless as they usually just don't have the strength. Sure, it is about technique, no doubt. But quite frankly, it's just easier for someone that is a larger build to exert the type of pressure that is sometimes needed for severe problem areas. Dr. Boothe knows what level of pressure is needed and can easily exert this pressure yet can be gentle in areas that are sensitive; he has this mastered.
I've seen countless chiropractors (10+) over the past 15 yrs or so; I have a double curvature in my spine and have had chronic lower back pain for about 15 yrs or more. I've also been to physical therapy (usually a waste), a number of specialists, etc. For the most part, docs really can't do anything for my pain - I need to strengthen very specific muscle groups and change the way my muscles / nerves fire and react to my movements. BTW, I lift weights, run, cycle, etc so i'm pretty active and fit....not just a couch potato (until game of thrones comes back on that is lol)
Anyways, Dr. Boothe is all about bringing movement to an area of concern, soft tissue manipulation (he probably has a more accurate medical term), active release therapy, proper form, and more. I got more relief from one session with him than I have with any doctor i've ever seen. No joke. Grant it, I'm pretty well tender from the session, lol, but he's fabulous.
From a scientific perspective, when one's body is used to doing X for an extended period of time, sometimes one of the more effective ways to overcome this is to create an acute injury that elicits the healing cells of the body. It kind of wakes up the body and triggers a cellular response for that particular area. I'm pretty sure this is what is happening when Dr. Boothe does his soft tissue massage / breaking up the fascia, etc. He's VERY good at modulating the pressure such that it's not too much but also to ensure sufficient pressure is being administered. For me, this was about 8 times that of the deep massages i've received in the past and way more effective.
Stop reading and just book an appointment with him. :)
