"I was introduced to Rossiter Workouts through Kristen after a few sessions of massage therapy. I will admit I was a skeptic at first but I still remember the results of one Rossiter session about 6 months ago during my senior year of high school.

My knee was killing me. I took a week off of running from practice in track and I was miserable. All that hard work from the beginning of the year of setting personal records flew out the window. My knee was throbbing every time it impacted on the ground. I never had knee problems and I’m not the type of person to sit out during practice or games. I’ve lettered in 3 varsity sports and have been active in sports since I was young. This time, I couldn’t just “tough it out.” I was frustrated that my knee would do this during the peak of my track season. I first went to my family physician. She told me to keep an eye out and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine. Anti-inflammatory medicine?? She scheduled a follow up appointment the next week and then she would refer me to a physical therapist. Next week?? First off, I didn’t want to numb the pain in my knee and then go out running and possibly damage it even more.  Secondly, I needed lasting relief now, track was waiting!

I decided to make an appointment. I went to my session of Rossiter and literally, just after that one 45- minute session I was able to run the next day. I went again the next week and I haven’t had problems since. My fascia was all intertwined, completely twisted from over exertion of running. I was utterly amazed and since then, I have been made into a Rossiter believer.

I was so fascinated by this concept. I kept wondering about the history of Rossiter and why everyone has such little knowledge of such a great therapy! I was intrigued and decided to do some   research. I found Richard Rossiter’s sight and became an advocate of the system. I then decided to take it up a notch and attend a Rossiter Coaching session, so I could learn how to coach.  Kristen taught me the first level of Rossiter- and upper body session which included the arms, shoulders and neck.  I now could perform Rossiter at the first level completely by myself!

My first subject was with my father. He has worked at a printing company for almost 30 years and has used his arms a great deal. He started noticing his right elbow becoming very painful. It became so painful for him that he started using a support band around his elbow. He had what is commonly referred to today as “tennis-elbow”. I was excited to jump at the chance to help him. I used Rossiter workouts on him twice a week for three weeks and then once a week for the next three. His elbow went from painful to stiff to finally being able to lift weights or any other object for that matter. He now has become an advocate of Rossiter. If his elbow becomes strained in any way, he comes straight to me instead of the doctor’s office.

My next subject was a nurse practitioner of a family doctor’s office. I worked as a medical clerk over the summer and she was complaining about the pain in her neck. I told her of the concept of Rossiter and she decided that she would try it out. After working on her neck she couldn’t believe the results. Her neck felt very relaxed and loose.  She became a Rossiter believer.

Rossiter, in my opinion, is such a great way to relieve pain. I immediately saw results. I was the person in control. I decided how much weight was applied. I decided how much weight I could take. I didn’t have to have a physical therapist telling me how many repetitions or how much weight is should be applied. Plus it is all natural. I didn’t have to take a medication for my knee. I didn’t have to consume a pill in order to receive results. Rossiter permanently changed my view on treatment of pain.  I highly encourage everyone who is experiencing pain to try a Rossiter Workout."
