Ed Tennison  2007

To the staff of Performance Wellness:

Thanks to the outstanding healthcare that I recieved over the last eight months, I was able to start, enjoy, and finish my first marathon ever, the 2007 Austin Marathon.

After jogging and running for most of my life, it seemed that small and not so small leg problems would preclude me and my 57 year old from ever fulfilling a childhood fantasy of running a marathon.

Several friends and running amigos referred me to Performance Wellness last summer after a hamstring issue plagued me for three months.  You performed your magic, and I was back on the road again, just like Willie Nelson's song.  Two more minor injuries during the 24 week Rogue training regimen pushed me back to you for additional expert, effective care... and back on the road I went.

February 18, I was at the starting line, healthy and ready to run.  A quick jog south, north, and south again through our beautiful city and there I was at the finish line in a time of 3:53!  I had several goals for the day: to finish; to run my perfect race; and to run under 4 hours.  No, it wasn't a perfect race for me, but 3:53 put a smile on my face that lasted for a week!

Thank you, Dr. Sellers, Dr. Brandie, Katie and Gina

Sincerely,

Ed Tennison

In 30 years of body work in California, Japan,  and Austin,  Lisa Ott ranks in the top 3 I've ever had.  She relieved and old dance injury that i had seen doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapist for to no avail.

There are many components within a training program when it comes to getting ready for a marathon or an Ironman Triathlon. Keeping the body healthy and injury free is a major component. Massage is very helpful in working out sore muscles, but when there is a running injury, Performance Wellness is where I go.

Austin chiropractors Dr. Chris Sellers and Dr. Brandie Leach of Performance Wellness Center helped make it possible for me to run in the 2004 Motorola Marathon, qualify for and run in the 2005 Boston Marathon, and complete an Ironman Triathlon 9 weeks later.

Due to many years of running my primary problem has been plantar fasciitis. Dr. Sellers' use of Active Release Technique (ART) helped heal this condition and further preventative treatment kept me on schedule in my training program.If it had not been for Dr. Sellers, I would not have been able to compete in these events. Dr. Sellers also volunteers at Ironman Triathlons where ART therapists keep the athletes fine tuned on race day.

Thanks Chris.

Dear Dr. Sellers, Dr. Leach and the staff of Performance Wellness,
I want to take a minute to thank-you all for being a part of my life and making my active lifestyle possible!

A few years ago at the age of 47, I decided to change from a sedentary middle- aged lady into a triathlete!And, because of the excellent care I receive at Performance Wellness, I’ve made this goal a reality. I know that when I train or push myself to a new level, Dr. Chris Sellers will fix whatever I’ve put out-of-sorts! From therapy to adjustments to advice and encouragement, I count on Performance Wellness as an integral part of my training.If I didn’t know I could get treatment for what hurts, I would never push myself to train.

So thank-you all for your care, encouragement and friendship. My life is so much richer, healthier and more fun because you are a part of it.
If it weren’t for the advice and skill of the doctors and staff of Performance Wellness, I know I wouldn’t be able to proudly say I’ve so far raced and finished seven triathlons!

Sincerely,
Lynn Sparks
