Mark's Success Story What made you decide to make a change? Ever since I was a kid, I have been very into sports. During my teenage and adolescent years I did a lot of endurance training, but recurring running and cycling injuries made me want to focus my athletic and health efforts on something else. It wasn’t until I did a functional movement screening and fitness test that I realized how limited my mobility, flexibility and upper body strength had become. That was the moment I decided I was going to give it my all to combat my weaknesses and improve my overall physical strength and health.

My CVAC Experience by Marcy T. Rogers, M.Ed. CVAC has dramatically changed my life! As a health care professional, I was intrigued by the idea of cellular conditioning and repair and found my first session startling because of the benefits I received from just one 20 minute session. Changes I observed included: 1.

Reduction of pain in my back, muscles and joints

Deep REM sleep

Increased athletic endurance and capacity during workouts

Quicker recovery from workouts I started increasing my sessions and found evidence of true cellular healing in places I had not been able to heal with my own body resources. Due to my constant air travel schedule, my Eustachian tubes are damaged and do not function properly. I have to have tubes replaced in my ears every 6-8 months to continue flying without further damage to my ear drums. 6 weeks ago I actually developed a perforation in my right ear drum as well as other fissures. Normally these would take a long time to heal but within 4 weeks the holes closed on their own. In addition, the perforations in the left ear demonstrated for the first time in a year signs of healing.  It’s clear to me that CVAC played a role in this medical accomplishment and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to experience firsthand the benefits of CVAC. My sleep has changed for the better. Now if I could only stay on the ground longer in San Diego, I might find many more positive benefits of this incredible technology!

I feel about my body and how I move. She also helps me integrate foam rolling and particular stretches into my daily routine that make a huge impact on my ability to continue playing soccer, have great workouts, and feel good even though I sit a lot for work. She challenges me during our training sessions in ways I would never do myself, and has helped me improve my posture through core strengthening and corrective movements. Justine has helped educate me about nutrition. I feel so much better eating smaller meals throughout the day now. I see positive changes in my body when I follow her guidance.
