Here's what some clients have experienced.
"I had recently completed the Vermont 100 mile race and, for the first time, was dealing with lingering recovery issues when I met Patrick Burns and Motion Momentum. At the time, he was providing complimentary sessions at a local race and although I was rather skeptical, I decided to try it. I had dead legs anyway. Wow, what a difference I felt when I went running the next morning! If a short, free session at a race produced such results, I wondered what a full session would accomplish. I immediately called and set up weekly appointments.
"In the 4 months since I started working with Patrick, I’ve set a personal record (PR) at the following distances: 5K (by 65 seconds), 4 mile (by 55 seconds) and 50 mile (by 46 minutes). Seven days after the 50 mile race, I set a PR (by 5 minutes-22 seconds) at the SunTrust Richmond Marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon.
"I highly recommend Patrick Burns and Motion Momentum to all runners."

“When I read the Times Dispatch article about Patrick, I was already scheduled for an epidural block because of sciatic nerve pain. After one session with Patrick, I cancelled the appointment. My job requires sitting at a desk for hours at a time and probably contributes to the problem. I have had more success with AIS therapy than many years of physical therapy for sciatic nerve pain and muscle problems caused by fibromyalgia. AIS is a gentle, effective treatment with quick and long lasting results.”

"Active Isolated Stretching is amazing! I had 2 AIS sessions with Patrick to address significant pain and tightness in my hip flexors just days before an upcoming marathon. Not only did my muscles feel better afterwards, but I felt the pre-race sessions helped prepare my legs to finish the marathon in my goal time.
"From a physical therapy standpoint, AIS makes sense. From an athlete’s perspective, it works!"

"The AIS sessions I've had with Patrick have been amazing. I realized measurable gains in flexibility in just one session, allowing me to move more deeply into several asanas(yoga postures). As a fitness instructor with a full schedule, I am prone to lower back pain due to overuse. AIS has provided me with more relief than anything else I have tried, including massage therapy, heat therapy, and analgesic creams. I also suffer from shoulder impingement, and have found that AIS increases my (pain-free) range of motion in the affected shoulder. In addition to providing relief to "problem areas", the sessions leave one's whole body feeling vibrant with energy."

"I pretty much stopped running seriously 4 years ago due to ongoing hip issues. It's really not fun feeling like you are running sideways, and its definitely not fun being in constant pain. After my first session with Patrick, I went out and ran 7 miles the next day, totally pain free. I'm hooked. The hip issues will be an ongoing problem, but with AIS, I really think that I can get back to where I used to be and run pain free. Suddenly that Long Course Du is starting to look mighty tempting! I wish Patrick had been available to me years ago!"
