Testimonials

“"I recovered movements that I've lost. I'm very pleased with the work Arthur has done with me. He has a great, friendly attitude, knows his stuff, and he works hard. And I've made a lot of progress. So I'm very thankful that I have such a good therapist."”

“My husband, the author of many books and a professional violinist, had spinal stenosis, a history of strokes, vision, and hearing loss. Arthur worked with him at our home showing him exercises that built up his endurance and improved his balance. ”
