Testimony from oe of my favourite people Cassie Keeping ,
Ann Power Francois helped me completely change my life and because of her I am able to live my life pain free and continue to pursue my passion in the fitness industry.
I suffered a massive hip/hamstring injury in early 2012 while I was running track and field for a university in Michigan. One of my teammates jokingly pushed me while I was stretching and ended up pushing me way passed the point of range of motion that body was capable of handling. This injury was so severe that it inhibited my ability to perform and sprint to my full potential and eventually forced me to give up my dreams of ever competing at a professional level.
No matter how much physiotherapy, rehabilitation, massage therapy, or chiropractic work I had done to the injury site nothing seemed to fully help or heal my injury; my running performance was never the same and I could not run without pain or discomfort. I even took 4 months off my to focus solely on rehabbing my hip in hopes to be able to run as fast as I once did and to perform without pain. Nothing seemed to work and I thought I would just have to “deal” with this injury for the rest of my life. This terrified me because I was only 22 and being active and fit is who I am and a big part of how I identify myself.
When I moved back to British Columbia I was still dealing with this injury and it started to effect my everyday life in so many ways and it became very emotional discouraging. I am a very stubborn person and despite the fact that I felt a constant ache in my hip/hamstring I would continue to push myself and work around the injury which lead to my body compensating in numerous different ways and causing pain in others points of my body. I was a complete mess physically and emotionally.
That year our paths thankfully crossed and I am truly grateful that they did because my health and well-being would not be where it is today. A client insisted that I go see her and that she could heal my pain and provide me with the tools to live pain free. Naively I did not believe that anyone could bless me with the opportunity to live pain free again and that I would be able to perform like I once had.
Well its years later now and I have been able to live pain free from this injury since Ann was able to heal my hip and teach me the skills to help me maintain my pain free lifestyle. I am so grateful that I met Ann ,She changed my perspectives and outlooks and also she helped me accomplish a life emotionally pain free as well as physically, and because of her I have be able to become a stronger, happier, and positive person.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me, you are a big mentor in my life and have become one of my favourite humans.
Love,Cassie
