A runner in pain
"Okay folks, whoever reads this needs to understand that I came to Sarah as a 100% skeptic, but every time I would complain about my running related injuries, someone from my company would not only recommend acupuncture, they would actually mention Sarah Hayes by name, telling me that she is simply a miracle worker and you need to go. Of course I put it off and the pain in my knees kept getting worse with each run I tried to do. I think half the people at Adidas (where I work) are seeing Sarah for treatment and each of them kept telling me to go and see her. What got me to finally make the call to Sarah was a strange case of lockjaw that I had never even heard of -- it hit me so hard I could barely open my mouth to eat.
So here I am, a guy that has always been very healthy with virtually no injuries and now I can't even run and even eating is an issue. My first visit to Sarah was with more than a little preconceived fear and trepidation, but she quickly put me at ease with her genuine compassion and spirit of caring about getting me well.
I am here to admit that I was very fearful of the needles. Then Sarah showed me what they were and my response was, "That's it, that's all they are"? My first session I even asked if she had even put the needles in, and she smiled and said, "I am all done." I don't know how to explain this any other way, but Sarah simply has a gift. She is more than a Dr. of acupuncture, but she also becomes somewhat of a counselor as you come to understand that so much of your physical issues are wrapped up in your day to day stresses of life.
Now for the good part. After two sessions with Sarah, my lockjaw was healing up nicely and I was able to eat pretty freely. I came to see her for serious issues with my left knee and after three sessions, I was running again pain-free on the left knee. We are now working on the right knee and I know that this will become pain-free as well.
Sarah seems to understand the one thing that people who are in the service industry so often forget. It's all about the customer. When I am working with her, I often feel at the moment that I am the only patient that Sarah has. She simply gives of herself in such a way that you are ready to respond to the healing before the needles even start. Sarah has managed to create what I would call an "acupuncture experience" from the minute you walk in until the minute you leave. This previous skeptic is now a true believer in the medicine.
Sarah, you are truly a godsend."
