Here are a few of our patient testimonials
 SUBJECT: http://breakgirl.com
I'am a former competitive gymnast, former competitive spring board diver in the Ivy League, and Now I'am a professional breakdancer, and stuntwoman. I practice WuShu Style Martial arts, and I perform in stage shows, street shows, and break dance on wood and concrete sometimes.
To Balance this out, I do Bikram Yoga as much as I can to stretch and encourage circulation.
So you can imagine the pain I get sometimes from old injuries.
I have separated my right shoulder on two occasions, and I do most of my freezes and air freezes on my right arm, so my shoulder has had problems forever.
I think I might have torn my rotator cuff at some point too. Nelson's use of active release on my shoulder has really been the only thing that has helped it. I've gone to massage therapy, acupunture, had electrical stimulation, done physical therapy, iced... but really felt most improvement from sessions with Nelson. Yes, the treatment hurts, even though I have a high tolerance for pain, but I feel results after one hour on my shoulder.
He has also helped me with my knee, I had ACL reconstructive surgery and orthoscopic surgery 11 years ago, and sometimes it gets stiff. I've compensated by using my left ankle a lot and Nelson has worked that out also.
Only one session doesn't do the job, it's temporary, because you have to ice afterwards, and keep stretching and doing exercises, but if you have a serious problem, be prepared to go more than a couple of times to work out the kinks. It's important to ice after sessions too.
I highly recommend Nelson for athletes who don't want to guit doing their passions!

I've been to many sports physicians and chiropractors over the years and I have found that Dr. Nelson Santos is tops at what he does as a soft tissue and A.R.T. specialist.
As a golf coach and in my personal game, he has helped me immensely with some difficult injuries and for a golfer he has a special skill and works very effectively in handling situations and in getting you in better shap to play your best golf.
I would highly recommend him and advise my golf students that he is the practitioner of choice to go to for help.

Nelson Santos is without a doubt the best therapist practicing ART in L.A. I had a partial tear of my quadricep, but with his help I was able to recover and place second at this year's(2008)Division 1 National Championships. Thanks Doc!
