I had pain in my arm and chronic back pain. Jonathan Frakes is my
therapist. Within 2 days my arm pain was gone. Jonathan is working
on my back now. He is the best therapist I've had (after different
surgeries I've had many). He works so hard to help me and makes
me work hard too. If you need therapy Movement for Life is a
wonderful, pleasant place to go. thanks JonathanBarbara
