Nicole Holtsberg-Bell
"Fixxed has helped me tremendously with my athletic injury. I was feeling hopeless during marathon training, struggling to make it through a mile with hip and knee pain. Ariel quickly discovered where the issue was coming from and came up with an individualized plan—in studio dry needling, at home exercises and an approach to safely get back into my runs. Coming from someone who absolutely hates needles, I highly recommend giving it a try—it was instant relief. I'm so grateful for fixxed!"

What should I wear to my knee pain physical therapy session?
