I have been an avid runner for years. I began having pain in both my hips while running. I heard from a friend how effective ART was in treating runners with pain. After two days of consecutive treatment from Dr. Mike, I tried running again. To my surprise, the pain was almost gone. I was able to run without the nagging pain that bothered me for over 3 months!
