I would like to extend my appreciation to Sonia Lopez of Body Evolutions Studio for the difference her knowledge and training has made in my everyday life. 

I am a 56-year-old woman who has had minor back problems for over half my life.  About three years ago, I hurt my back and was disabled from working for several months.  I saw many doctors and physical therapists, all to no avail.  I finally was diagnosed with a herniated disk at L4/L5, and relief only came with an epidural steroidal injection.  Within a few months, the problem would recur and I would need another epidural injection.  In addition, I was developing a dowager’s hump, along with previously being diagnosed with scoliosis and ankylosing spondilitis.  I am an active person and it was frightening to see how my body was deteriorating.

A dance instructor suggested I might want to contact Sonia to possibly improve my posture.  I was very skeptical and did not act on this for a few months.  I finally decided to try one series of her sessions.  To my surprise, I didn’t need that next epidural injection.  Being extremely pleased, I decided to continue my workouts.  My body actually was changing before my eyes.  In two years, my dowager’s hump has improved.  I have not needed another epidural injection, and my bone density tests show my scoliosis has straightened considerably.  In addition, I have gained a full inch in height in the last two years. 

Not only is Sonia knowledgeable, but she knows how to adapt that knowledge to each individual.  In addition, she takes her work very seriously and continues to strive for more training and knowledge.  Sonia does make a difference plus she is very professional.
