Pure Physio - Avon

I would recommend Dr Lawson and the Pure Physio team to close friends and family without hesitation.

Four months ago I jumped into a workout without warming up and strained my lower back. I tried my usual self-remedy of moving through lower back pain and stiffness on my own over the next few weeks, but the pain only increased. Sitting down would cause me to have lower back and leg pain, especially when doing so for an extended period of time on a plane or driving.

I had met Dr Lawson over the years at the crossfit gym I am a member at, and had heard nothing but positive experiences from other gym members who had been treated by her. Within 20 minutes of my first visit, Dr Lawson had diagnosed my lower back issue and showed me pictures on an app exactly where my pain was coming from, all while playing music in the room and keeping the mood light.

Dr Lawson then went through stability, strength, and flexibility exercises with me for my lower back. She texted me the list of exercises to complete four days a week, and had me come back once every-other week for dry-needling work, some manual work and evaluation of my exercise movements to increase their intensity as appropriate.

Dr Lawson also went above and beyond to send me scaled versions of our gym's daily workout every day for the first few weeks to show me how to properly scale all movements, which allowed me to keep working out while going through physical therapy. This was important to me because I wanted to maintain my fitness as much as possible while working through my lower back issue.

It has been 10 weeks since my initial visit, and I am back to working out pain free (minus a few gymnastic movements that I am hoping to begin in the next week or two). My lower back and core strength is better than ever before, which has helped immensely in the gym but also with everyday quality of life movements such as sitting and standing for extended periods of time. Thanks so much Dr Lawson and the Pure Physio team for the care you have given me!
