“Nik is AMAZING. I had hurt my back and was in so much pain. I had gone to a chiropractor and learned that the nerve pain I was experiencing was muscle related. After lots of stretching, foam rolling, heat, ice, rest and the tension down my leg kept returning, I booked an appointment with Nik. Thank goodness I did! It took a day for my body to integrate the work, but by the following day, I was no longer scared to move, no longer hobbling, no longer felt like the tension was causing my leg to go numb. Nik not only has a lot of knowledge about the body, but also a great communicator and I gained good insights into what was going on. Thanks Nik!”
