In September I suffered a pinched nerve in my neck which presented as pain in my shoulder blade area as well as down my arm and numbness in 2 fingers. It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. After many anti-inflammatory and pain relieving drugs, acupuncture and physical therapy, it was Michael with AMR which was the most successful therapy. After several sessions with Michael, I was pain free and able to resume my normal activities. I plan to return and have him apply his amazing skill to a chronic knee condition. I highly recommend this therapy.

I started AMR treatments with Mike about four months ago for a shoulder trapezoid injury at the recommendation of a good friend who had successfully recovered from a knee injury with AMR treatments. Prior to this I had been going to the chiropractor and physical therapy for about one year with no improvement. After three months of frequent (sometimes weekly) AMR treatments with Mike, lots of patience and perseverance, Mike's treatments finally "broke through" and my shoulder pain disappeared. The day I was able to do a long run without any pain whatsoever was just simply unbelievable. Before I started AMR, I honestly had resigned myself that I would have to just live with the pain for the rest of my life. I am so grateful to Mike for really motivating me to continue with the treatments and being very communicative about the AMR process. It is so relieving to be pain free and to have gained my range of motion to almost the way it was before my injury. I have decided to continue to receive AMR treatments from Mike in a pro-active attempt to identify other muscle issues in my body in order to better prevent potential injuries. I will be forever grateful to Mike and the friend who recommended him.

Hi, it is my pleasure to let you know how Michael Weibel has changed my life.
After almost 8 years of low back/buttock/leg pain and visiting many different practitioners such as chiropractors, physical therapists and other doctors with unsuccessful treatments, I had the opportunity to meet Michael Weibel and experience Advanced Muscle Reconditioning. After a couple of sessions I started feeling the change in my symptoms. A few months down the road I feel about 90% better. I feel an amazing change in my body and feel confident that I can function like a normal person. I want to keep-up with this kind of treatment.
I highly recommend Advanced Muscle Reconditioning and the special and effective care of Michael Weibel.

I severely injured my arms while breaking up tile and mortar in our laundry room with a jackhammer. I was barely able to complete the job because the pain radiating from my shoulders down into my forearms was almost unbearable. I had to use both hands and arms to sip coffee from my mug. I was in constant, non-stop pain. My doctor said I had strained the tendons in my arms and had developed a form of tennis elbow. I was told “rest and ice” were the remedy and possible cortisone injections down the road if things didn’t improve after time. I was also told many months or even a year could lapse before things got better.
I turned to the internet and found chat rooms with others experiencing the same chronic pain I was. My findings were depressing. As a whole, most people suffered pain for months on end, trying to rest their arms and apply ice. Some recommended forearm straps or wraps that help ease pain associated with tennis elbow. All of this gave me minimal relief and I found I was in pain all day long. My prognosis wasn’t good. To top things off, I was preparing to cancel a surfing trip to Costa Rica I had planned and paid for over a year ago. By sheer luck, I was recommended to Michael Weibel who offered an alternative approach to my arm issues. That approach was Advanced Muscle Reconditioning or, AMR.
Initially, I met with Michael and was desperate to see if he could relieve my arm pain. All I wanted was him to tell me he would be able to fix me. We talked for a few minutes before my initial session began and I noticed he was careful to not guarantee me much. He was confident he would be able to help but was specific in describing how each person was different and the pace of recovery varied among people. We got started.
After my initial 1.5 hour session, I was sore from the treatment but felt better than I had since the initial injury. Two days later, 50-60% of all my arm pain was gone. I still had issues that needed more attention but the results after one session were remarkable. AMR is a specific technique that I’m not qualified to explain in much detail but can say it’s technique is built around my input. Michael would start on an area and I was the one that directed him to areas where I felt pain and issues. I was guiding him. We usually ended up working on areas of my arms and back that were substantial sources of pain. Places I would never guess were problems. Today was my fourth visit with Michael and I’m basically pain-free. Now I need to start strengthening my arms but that’s my responsibility. Michael got rid of the pain.
In conclusion, AMR was a game changer for me. I’m skeptical of “quick fixes” and remedies that are “guaranteed” to work. Michael and his AMR technique never promised me anything and the results were off the charts. If you’re tired of going down dead end roads of recovery and when other methods don’t seem to work anymore, give Michael Weibel a call and set up a meeting. It’s worth it. Your results may be different from mine but that’s ok. I highly recommend Michael and his AMR approach to reconditioning your muscles that are giving you problems. I’m excited to share surf pictures with him when I get back from Costa Rica next month. Cheers!
