QUOTE

“If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it… if all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it… if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your  terror of the opposition for it… if you simply go after that thing you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity… if neither cold, poverty, famine, nor gout, sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from the thing that you want… if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it, with the help of God, you will get it!”

I have had increasing shoulder pain for the past five years in both shoulders. X-rays and MRI showed only severe arthritis in each shoulder. I had been to orthopedic surgeons and really was told nothing could be done except eventually I would need to have Total shoulder replacement. In wanting to delay that time I decided to give Brian Parr at sculpt at San Antonio country club a try. I have now gone to him for six sessions. I cannot emphasize how much better I feel since I started these sessions my range of motion has markedly increase and my pain has decreased significantly. I can now actually lay on my shoulder and sleep. Something I had not been able to do for at least  the past two years. I am really convinced it was Brian‘s therapy and exercise regime that has helped me so dramatically.

Dr. Parr is the first provider to give me relief for shoulder and back pain I have been experiencing for over 10 years. He’s addressing all my concerns holistically and actually provided the most thorough initial exam I’ve ever had. I’ve been to many PTs over the course of my life as an athlete, and Dr. Parr is  the best. I feel like the pro athlete of my own life with Dr. Parr treating me for my pain and ailments. 10/10 recommend and will be continuing services as needed and as long as they are available from him! Thanks Brian!!!

Brian Parr has worked with me for about three months. I began with back pain caused by bulging disks and that pain was debilitating. Now I am virtually pain-free thanks to Brian and my medical doctor’s ancillary services. Brian is smart and applies his extensive educational background to practical situations. Further, once the key issue is resolved, he adapts and begins treating less obvious needs resulting in a holistic therapy that makes for a more healthy body. I’m so glad he’s on my team.
