Patient Story
Caleb's recovery was so good Dr's didn't believe
Summary
Caleb, who owns a hardscape business and does physically demanding work, came to Med Matrix with low testosterone, low energy, weight issues, and chronic back and knee pain. After about three months his energy, mood, and intimacy improved markedly, and his recovery from rotator cuff surgery was so exceptional that his surgeon filmed his range-of-motion demonstration at the 6-week post-op visit. He credits Med Matrix's approach with accelerating healing and changing his quality of life.
Before Med Matrix
- Severely low testosterone ("completely tanked")
- No energy; tired all the time
- Low mood; "going through the motions"
- Weight issues
- Chronic back pain and knee pain from years of physical hardscape work
- Waking up stiff and sore every day ("demoralizing")
- Pain was crippling and affecting day-to-day function
- Rotator cuff surgery upcoming (November 7th)
- Hernia surgery the prior summer
Results
- Rotator cuff recovery so fast that surgeon filmed his range of motion at 6-week post-op visit (surgeon was "very surprised")
- Hernia surgery recovery also felt faster due to being on the program
- Back and knee pain largely gone ("it's gone, nothing like it was")
- More energy day to day
- Improved mood; "much happier person"
- Improved intimacy
- Weight loss progress (improved when nutrition was dialed in)
- Quality of life "completely different"
- Took approximately 3 months to feel a significant difference
