A couple of years ago I was scheduled to conduct two concerts – a Saturday and Sunday. On Friday, at dress rehearsal, I could hardly walk or stand. The pain and restriction in my right hip was draining my system and destroying my concentration – a necessary item for a conductor.
I telephoned Loraine and she had me come in for diagnosis and treatment. I was absolutely amazed at her diagnostic skill. She found the problem, treated it, and within minutes I was able to stand and walk without pain. To me it was a miracle and it had happened to me.
Following that I was under regular treatment and the problem has never returned. I have all the confidence in the world for Loraine’s knowledge and skill in physical therapy. I knew of several others she has helped, but the real impression comes when you yourself get the help when needed.
I continue to depend on Loraine for physical
therapy. One of the strengths is that she gives you advice on how to “self-treat”. The routines
she teaches have become daily exercises and help to keep this elderly body strong enough to
cope with rigorous rehearsal and performance schedules.
