I have been a student of Tracy at Aline Studios for the past 15 years. A friend suggested I try Aline, saying it was better than sliced bread. A couple of visits and I was hooked for once and sometimes twice a week.
My posture was not the best and I wished for a better golf swing. She gave me both. Then a year ago I broke my patella, and this Christmas, my ankle; I just move too fast and don't watch what my feet are doing. In both instances, had it not been for Tracy, these two incidences would have been life changing.
I did go to physical therapy and soon realized two things. First, although the therapists have a three year education, they only follow the protocol the doctor sends down. Secondly, they do not think.. Heaven forbid. Never do they take into account how fit and strong you are, nor do they say, "you are walking funny," or "you are using your hip in a funny way," or "you need to walk on the outside of your foot, for a while, to correct the poor usage due to plates and screws." This led me back to Tracy as fast as my car could go.
My knee is fine, and we are still working on my ankle. I am playing golf, gardening, walking and running. She looks at what is wrong, and knows how to fix it. She never quits learning, taking classes and going to school.
In conclusion, over the past 15 years, we have shared our joys and sorrows, and become friends. Tracy is one of the people I admire most. She has overcome adversity in a street wise and intelligent way, and will continue her upward path. THANK YOU TRACY, MORE THAN WORDS CAN EVER EXPRESS.
