I live a very active lifestyle, and practice a lot of self-care to prevent injuries (foam rolling/stretching). I was extremely surprised and perplexed to find myself having acute back pain, which I thought was a dislocated rib. I had very limited range of motion in my torso, and I was walking around like a robot.

I was in mercy to my pain, and I made a same day appointment with Dr. Liu and told her about my symptoms. After a very thorough assessment, she was quickly able to pin point what was going on. My rib was completely in tact, but my psoas muscle was completely inflamed. She did some body work on my abdominal muscles (A.R.T.), and I immediately felt 40-50% less pain. I made an appointment 2 days later, and by that time my pain decreased to 70%. After my 2nd appointment of A.R.T. with Dr. Liu, my pain was down to 90%! She is so beyond educated and experienced, I was very impressed. I will see her for a few more appointments, then add in her recommendations to my self-care routine.

My insurance doesn’t cover treatments out of my network, so I paid out of pocket. It can get expensive that way, but I really feel like what you get from every visit is beyond worth the out of pocket cost. If you have ANY pain, make an appointment with Dr. Liu, I had amazing results with her, and I’m sure you will also.

Yelp Review

I developed sciatica during my training program for the Boston Marathon 2016. Two-months out from the race, I quit training and took a 4 week break. Dr. Dawn Liu was recommended by a few of the runners in my running circle. I called Action Performance immediately. Dr. Dawn spent nearly an hour on my first visit. I was sweaty! Bending, stretching, squatting, and even running.

She broke down my issues. It wasn’t just sciatica. I was dealing with hip issues, tight hamstrings, weak glutes, and my form was suffering. The sciatic pain was the last straw. I was devastated with the set-back. She started treatment (ART) immediately and had me stretching and working on my core at home. Two weeks later I was back to running short distances. I wasn’t completely healed but I was able to run with much less discomfort. The ART was targeting the deep tissue that had been stressed for so long and impossible to reach with simple stretching and foam rolling

One month later, I raced my best half marathon by more than 2 minutes. And one month after that, I toed the line at Boston! I raced my strongest full marathon even with terrible weather conditions. Most importantly, I was pain free.

I have to thank Dr. Dawn for all that she did to me physically and mentally. She knows what she’s doing! She treats the problem and she corrects the cause as well. She gave me the confidence I needed to get myself back to running and to trust in the treatment.
