" In my 8 months here at Anooka, I lost 120lbs! I went from not being able to sit for 5min to going to a concert and standing for 2 hours, Being able to spend more time with my friends and family. My pain is down to 1-2 from 7 and now I feel more confident. All this while saving 64 visits to a PT! "
