Since visiting Len, I've been pain-free for three years now. You'll be required to learn and practice a heap of new exercises and breathing techniques. Follow his advice and practice them daily. I can't speak highly enough of Len and his methods. After reading the reviews, give me quirky and effective any day of the week.
I have been to many physical therapists for a host of issues, but Dr. Mayer was the first one to see that they were all connected. He has taught me to use and understand my body in a completely new way, and a way that works with my lifestyle. It's not just about learning a set of exercises'; it's about gaining awareness that allows us to heal ourselves. He really takes his time to understand each client, and I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend Dr. Mayer for any physical therapy.
I found Dr. Mayer by following a massage therapist I trusted. The masseur convinced me to have an evaluation. Dr. Mayer managed first to train me to relieve lower back pain and sciatica that I've had since a 1984 car accident. His training is so thorough and competent that when I 'threw my back out' in Germany, he got me travelling again via phone!
Now I have MS; he and the staff keep me mobile and functional. Few people realize that I have MS and my neurologist is amazed by my improvement.
Dr. Mayer really understands neuromuscular functioning and therapies.
I would highly recommend Dr. Mayer to anyone suffering with chronic pain!
My story: I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12 and I was placed in a back brace at age 15 to keep my curvature from getting worse. After wearing the back brace for my designated year, I continued to suffer with back/neck pain. I went to a chiropractor regularly and I even tried yoga therapy, but my pain was never relieved for very long.
I moved to Richmond and a friend recommended Capitol Rehab. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Mayer! My pain has decreased dramatically since I started seeing Dr. Mayer about 2 years ago. By using a combination of techniques, Dr. Mayer is retraining my body to work as it should! I also appreciate that Dr. Mayer teaches all of his clients exercises that help to improve their condition. Whenever I feel pain in certain areas of my body, I know what exercises to do and how I can help myself to decrease my pain.
I had knee surgery a year ago and went through 3-4 months of physical therapy but was still not able to climb stairs or resume pre-surgery activities at an appropriate level. I was feeling like I would never get my functionality back when my other knee began to show signs of needing surgery. I met Dr Mayer. He and his office changed my whole life. In a few weeks I was pain free and my range of motion returned. I am now close to being back to the way I was before I had surgery maybe even better and I owe it all to Capital Rehab. Their program has changed my life!!
