3x National Champion Hockey Player Overcomes Disc Herniations and Pain -Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)

For 1.5 years, I was in pain almost 100% of the time - whether I was sleeping or awake. In Jan 2020, I herniated 3 discs, and saw every surgeon under the sun, trying to figure out a path forward. Just after my back injury I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Traditional rehab didn’t help me and surgeons wouldn't touch me because of my EDS.

 

I had gotten to a point where I felt completely useless, 100% dependent on my partner and daughter, and just didn't want to be around anymore. What was the point? I couldn't live like this.  

 

Then I met Katie and Andrew. Whealth literally saved my life.

 

I enrolled in Limitless to get my life back. I am a 3x National Champion hockey player with a background in kin and biomechanics and despite that, I’ve suffered almost every musculoskeletal injury & health issue imaginable including: 2 ACL reconstructions, multiple shoulder dislocations, hip, elbow and fingers, cervical instability, a completely torn ATFL, TFL, and partially torn CFL in my ankle causing tibiofibular splaying, stress fractures, scoliosis, a leg length discrepancy, asthma, vascular issues, nerve damage, digestive issues, and frequent infections. 

 

My transformation with Whealth started with small wins like being able to drive and then get groceries or sit in a movie theater with less pain. Since then, I've also been able to go hiking and return to skating, roller-blading and biking. I also completed Whealth’s Strength & Conditioning program. That's a hell of a long way compared to where I started. My journey is a constant work in progress and even though there will be bumps in the road I feel like I am way better prepared to handle them, from both a physical and mental standpoint.
