Testimonial - Kelly Tang


 Testimonial: Kelly Tang

" I have been training Ju-Jitsu for more than 8 years. It’s one of the toughest  form of martial art that I've ever experience. In the art of Jujitsu, techniques being taught include joint locks, chokeholds, takedowns, grappling, striking and throwing. About a year ago, I experienced a set back during practice whereby I was trying a new throwing technique and accidentally pulled my right hip. I couldn't move for days.  My normal activities were limited due to the pain. I was suffering from the injury where it affected everyday activity such as walking, lifting, and standing.

After neglecting my condition for 5 months and thinking that it will eventually go away, I was referred to Dr. Nguyen through a friend at work. I thought Chiropractor only specialized in back injuries, but  I was wrong. During my first visit with Dr. Nguyen,  he evaluated my hips and determined that I had a partially torn my right Psoas muscle. He explained that since the right hip flexor had been damage for over 5 months, my muscle has developed scar tissue,  causing it to be weak and restrictive to normal everyday functions. 

My first treatment with Dr.Nguyen’s Active Release Technique was around 25 minutes and it was really sore. I didn't think what he was doing would work, but after the treatment, I can't even tell you how happy I was to be able to stand without holding on to something for support. I was able to do a full squad without falling over. Dr. Nguyen then used Kineseo tape like the one they used on Olympians to taped my right hip and lower back to give me additional support.


After two months of seeing Dr. Nguyen, I re-gain full range of motion and strength to my right hip.  I was able to practice Ju-Jitsu and competed in two tournaments. Without his help and knowledge about the body biomechanics, I don't think I would recover this fast and continue to do what I love. "
