In my mid-twenties my body was in pretty rough shape. I was suffering from chronic pain and had terrible mobility to the pain where my quality of life and mental state were being severely adversely impacted.
I was also terrified at the idea of entering a gym.
I worked with an excellent chiropractor in Birmingham (UK) who helped to provide significant pain relief and subsequently referred me on to a physical therapist. Through working with the physical therapist I realised that even without entering a gym, I still had a lot of avenues available to me to improve the state of my body.
