I have been involved in the Law Enforcement and Military field for 16 years. During the year of 2005, I was a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While in Iraq, I was involved in a rocket attack that just missed our Police Transition Team (PTT) that was charged with training the Iraqi Police. As part of the rocket attack, I sustained a lower back injury which eventually got me air lifted to Germany for treatment. Due to the fact that it was just weeks before the 2005 Christmas, the military sent me back to Honolulu so I could be home for the holidays. As you may well know Honolulu is back in Hawaii but it’s not all the way home. Just about that time the military was trying a new program where soldiers could continue their physical therapy as an outpatient on their home island. One of the supporters of the program was Action Therapy. Upon arriving back to Kauai, I made contact with Ginger Allen (PT). She was very friendly and totally understood the position I was in. Being that my real job was a Kauai Police (Swat Officer), I couldn’t just do a normal physical therapy treatment. My mindset was not to get better but to return back to full duty. Ginger Allen put me through a physical therapy program that rivaled a professional athlete. The end result was that not only did I get better and return back to the Swat Team, I became one of only two Swat Snipers on the island of Kauai. Anyone who knows anything about being a sniper knows how physically demanding the job can be. I am confident that if Action Therapy did not meet my needs for physical therapy, I would not be in the position I am today. I would highly recommend Action Therapy especially if you have a very athletic lifestyle.
