I'm rather stubborn and don't like being told what to do, but I didn't feel like Daniel yelled at me or was mean at all. He did even made me laugh once or twice and helped spark my motivation to push myself. \n\nI have dealt with running injuries for the last year and it's been frustrating to be out of shape and unable to return to competitive running. Daniel has a background in physical therapy and understands the healing process, but doesn't let you just sit on the sideline. From him, I learned the basics of foam rolling, which I always tried to incorporate into my fitness routines, but did not know the correct way to do so safely. I now feel more confident when rolling out my muscles that I'm not going to hurt myself causing further damage. \n\nHe also showed me some important strength training moves that - overtime would help build up my muscles to help prevent future injuries. My running injuries were caused from overuse. I liked to run 4-6 days a week when I was training and my final long distance race was enough to put me over the edge. I want to give Daniel a huge thank you for showing me a different side of recovery. I spent months at physical therapy, but it never fixed the problem completely and I still felt pains when working out. I believe that Daniel is right and I need to continue to strengthen my muscles if I want to beat this injury and return to running one day. \n\nI would recommend Daniel if you are looking for an awesome trainer in Mesa or Tempe!"^^ .
