Mitzi’s Story:
Our lives are in such a better place

I have always been really healthy. I've always been very strong and active. Over a year ago, I started getting lower back and hip pain. I ignored it until I just couldn’t anymore. 

I tried physical therapy, doctors, got an MRI, nothing was working. My pain worsened and I had stopped doing yoga, I even stopped walking. I became depressed.

My body was always really strong, and I just didn’t trust it anymore. 

I thought I would try Lin since the program took my insurance in Maine.

I got paired with coach Heidi, who I absolutely love. We had weekly meetings where we discussed my pain and the fear surrounding it. She helped me gradually get back into

everything I had stopped doing and was always there for me when I needed her during a flare up.

I recommended it to my husband, Rhett, who has had chronic back pain for 40 years. They paired him with coach Tim, and he’s a whole new person since he’s started. 

Both of our coaches Heidi and Tim have been able to identify what works for each of us, even though we are very different people.

Our lives were so limited, we were in pain, and we were so scared of doing everything. 

Our lives are in such a better place now, we’re able to go on walks together now and don’t take a single step for granted. It has made such a huge difference in both of our lives.
