A MESSAGE FROM ONE OF OUR MEMBERS:
Dear Midlothian Athletic Club *I have been a member of The MAC for over six years and have used many of the programs available in my quest for good health. A few weeks ago I developed a severe lower back pain and thought time would heal it. This always worked in the past. After two weeks, simply getting up from a seated position caused pain that didn’t get better. Medical doctors offered no help. I tried several visits to a chiropractor without relief. Then I thought of trying a therapeutic massage by your Fitness Director, Sergio Tromba. I left after an hour massage with out the pain. I think many Robious members, like me, don’t try therapeutic massage because it is something out of our range of experience and we are reluctant to try something new. Sergio is professionally trained, including knowledge of pressure points to relieve pain. I now go to him regularly, not solely for pain but for general relief and improvement in my quality of life. A soothing massage in a quiet atmosphere with the relaxing sounds of waves landing on a beach brings with it relief from tension and an improved mental outlook. I tell my friends and associates including people I see at Robious of my experience and recommend they try it. I wish for others the benefits I have received. Regards, Bruce M.
