In 2009, I was deployed to Iraq and Kuwait as a signal officer working in communication. During that time, I did convey security and transportation as the troops moved out of Iraq. During my time there, I became ill with stomach issues (food coming straight through me) and vertigo (dizziness). I was medically retired in 2011 for PTSD. Getting out o'...
After having a car accident in December, I experienced neck, shoulder and back pain on my right side. The tension and discomfort was so painful I couldn’t exercise, sit or even stand for long periods of time. The pain continued to wake me up at night and I had almost migraine level headaches at least 4 times a week. For six weeks, I had orthopedi'...
Isaac is the go-to-guy when almost everything else fails. He understands the connection between mind, body, and soul, so it’s not a singular conversation when you have a problem. He looks at areas beyond one piece of the puzzle, and, because of that, he’s able to find causes that other people can’t. They don’t have that skillset. I was expe'...
My 13 year old son swam for Tacoma swim club until his right shoulder started hurting chronically. It was debilitating. We saw two shoulder doctors who both said it was an overuse injury and gave him high dose ibuprofen and physical therapy. Three months later, going three times a week to physical therapy, his shoulder wasn’t better and Johnny st'...
I met Isaac at a training seminar in the East Coast and, since then, gaped at the knowledge he held. What is incredible is that I came to him for one thing and got that, and so much more. It had been a goal of mine to climb Mount Rainier and I had been training for it. One training day, I wore boots that where the wrong fit for me for 20 hours stra'...
Before Isaac treated me, I had suffered from migraines all my life. After having a traumatic birth, I would have random spontaneous migraines, my vision would blur, I would hear vibrations that would paralyze my body, experience extreme noise and light sensitivity, and my nose would randomly start bleeding. From just laying on the couch watching TV'...
The first time Isaac spoke to me about cranial work, I wasn’t sure what it could do or why I would need it. In one cranial session, I went from barely being able to touch my ankles to being able to put my palms on the floor. The next day my deadlift went from 355lbs to 405lbs! Obvious benefits. While I was training for Kokuro, a 53-hour straight '...
While traveling in a transatlantic, economy class flight in summer 2013, my left calf started cramping up. At least, that was what it felt like. It was quite discomforting due to the confined space, but I expected when I could straighten my leg and walk it would go away. When the plane landed and I started walking I found not only did the calf '...
I met Isaac while he was going through massage school in Federal Way. I had torn my left rotator cuff doing a handstand in Yoga class. At one point it hurt so much, I couldn’t even lift my arm. The doctor gave me ibuprofen and told me to ice it, but it never recovered. Being at work at a computer all day, my hands and forearms were always tight, '...
One morning getting ready for work, I bent down to adjust the tongue part of my shoe, when I heard a little pop, and felt excruciating pain. Any direction I moved was extremely painful. The nurses at work told me to put heat on my back to get through work, and I went straight from the hospital to a chiropractor as soon as they opened. I saw the chi'...
