The "right therapist" is essential in healing and long term recovery . I have been in the fitness world for 50 years as a ranked triathlete,fitness coach, and seriously injured competitor. I was lucky to be treated by a gifted practitioner Coko Nakashima. Her ability to get right to the damaged area with her gentle but firm touch took me out of pain and gave me confidence that recovery was possible. I am grateful to her Larry Krug
