“In June 2022 after a stressful two-week accounting project, I attended a workout class, and during the warm-up I suffered a painful 7m disc herniation in my cervical spine.
I had to take a taxi to urgent care to get pain meds and muscle relaxers. In the coming days, pain got so bad I had to take medical leave from work. I was also diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.
Three weeks later when I wasn’t improving, I saw a neurosurgeon who said he was 50/50 on having me get surgery to repair it or said to complete 6 weeks of physical therapy.
As a former professional dancer, I opted for the PT. After just 3 sessions at the PT, I realized they were only giving me 15 mins of attention per 60 min session and only focused on the area that was injured instead of the whole body.
That’s when I took to Instagram to post about my situation and a friend introduced me to Whealth.
I couldn’t help but feel hopeful given Whealth’s success record and reviews, so I started Limitless immediately!
Although the movements in the first week seemed basic, I experienced extreme range of motion improvements in my neck and shoulder area quickly.
Two weeks in, I could sleep through the whole night without waking up in pain!
After completing Limitless in 14 weeks, I had ZERO pain in my neck. I saw a huge improvement in my flexibility, muscle tone and energy levels.
This gave me the confidence to reintroduce yoga and weight-lifting into my schedule and here I am 7 months post-injury whipping my hair in dance classes again - without pain.
Luckily, I never felt like this was a solo recovery. My twin sister who is a strength and conditioning coach and Whealth member helped me make sure my form was correct and my friends were encouraging through the whole process.
As an added bonus, the Whealth nutrition tips in the program helped me to cut bloating and excess fat, and I am happy with the changes in body composition.
I am so grateful to Whealth for turning my initial feeling of hope into another success story instead of opting for a surgery.”
