SUCCESS STORIES

"Working with Jeff for four weeks has made me more efficient in the gym and reduced my daily pain. I can now perform daily tasks with ease, and I’m confident I’ll age gracefully and painlessly.

Stacey S

“At 81 years of age, I was looking for something different. Jeff’s calm and empathetic approach made all the difference. I feel better physically and mentally after every session.” If your body feels good your mental state will follow. "If I could bottle how I feel after a session with Jeff I would make millions."

Steffani McChesney

For 19 years, I lived with chronic pain from a car accident—pain that ran from my neck to my shoulder and down my arm, making it nearly impossible to write with my left hand. I tried everything over the years, but nothing brought lasting relief. After working with Jeff, I was finally able to handwrite a two-page letter without pain—and without fear that the pain would return. That moment brought tears to my eyes. Jeff has been a miracle in my life, helping me heal in ways I never thought possible.

Laura U.

“Joining Silver Sneakers led me to Jeff, who helped reduce my hip pain, increase my range of motion and strengthen the muscles that support my hip. Working with Jeff is the best investment I’ve made in my health.”

Krista Taylor

During a session, I mentioned shoulder pain during an exercise—and Jeff immediately adjusted the plan. He had me do a simple movement lying on my side, and when I returned to the exercise, the pain was gone. It still amazes me—my shoulders are pain-free. Jeff listens deeply, responds with precision, and every week I feel the benefits of his nervous system-based approach.

Dale G

II recently completed a month-and-a-half-long surf trip to Florida—30 hours of driving each way—and for the first time in years, I wasn’t wrecked with neck, shoulder, or sciatic pain. Thanks to Jeff’s guidance using Original Strength training, I stayed mostly pain-free, even through long days and terrible weather. He also gave me movement resets and paddling-specific exercises that helped me surf better and recover faster. At 70, I just had one of the best surf trips since retiring—without needing pain meds or collapsing at the end of the day.
