I’m so thankful for the amazing people at TrueU. They have been a God send to me as I have been working through a long-term injury and Autoimmune diagnosis. Unfortunately, my Dr had left me lost and like a hopeless case. After my first visit with Dr Shane at The Specific & TrueU, I started feeling like I had hope again, and like I had people on my side helping me navigate my health journey. My body started responding quickly to the therapy and treatments they suggested. I made more progress with in a couple weeks than I had after months of post Op. rehab.
– Kate & Josiah Harnish
I can’t say enough amazing things about this place. My daughter has been in competitive Cheer for years, and has had a torn shoulder and messed up knee. She’s been doing laser here and softwave. And she feels incredible. I have done softWave and laser also. The hyperbaric chamber is beyond amazing. And the medical grade red light bed is one of my favorite things. 🙌🏽 Honestly, any service I’ve received here is top-notch. And so are the people who work here. I would highly recommend this to anybody! Especially people suffering from medical issues, chronic pain, or just want to feel rejuvenated.
– Alisha Simpkins
I’ve been recovering from a knee injury from 2 years ago, I have residual scar tissue in my knee that has caused pain and has given me difficulty with certain movements. I started going to trueU to get softwave and pbm laser treatments and the difference is real! Deep squatting doesn’t hurt as bad, and I feel more confident doing athletic things again. Highly recommend!
