Peachtree City Triathlete Anne Chrzanowski, 2007 USA Triathlon All-American, relies on Dr. Thomas to keep her injury free and performing optimally. Read what she has to say about her experience.

What a year it has been! From Ironman wannabe to World Championship Kona Finisher! I competed in my first Ironman in Louisville this past August 2007. I had a fantastic race and surpassed my expectations by qualifying for the 2007 Ironman World Championship.

Without the help of Dr. Thomas and his staff I would not have gotten to the start of Louisville or Kona injury free. I have been a patient of Dr. Thomas’s for the past few years and he has relieved so much of my pain from different injuries. During the 10 months of my training for Ironman, I pushed my body further that I ever have before. Of course, when I pushed my body to new limits sometimes it pushed back.

Several times during the training when I was dealing with aches, pain and soreness I thought I would have to 100% stop. Each time I saw Dr. Thomas and his staff, they helped me get back to training. For instance, after Louisville, I ended up with a bad hamstring injury. I tried rest, stretching, the stick, and foam rollers to help massage the area with no improvement. After two treatments with Dr. Thomas, I felt 90% better. Within a week of treatments, my injury was gone.

I had never done muscle stripping before I started going to Dr. Thomas, but I am such a believer in it. I also go in for massages from Joshua, both before and after my big races, he has the best hands around. He massages out all the toxins in my muscles so they can perform to their best abilities. For me, it is a huge relief to be able to trust my body and not have to worry about injuries. Dr. Thomas’s office has provided me with this peace of mind. Thanks!
