“I finally felt like I had a plan of attack to battle
my Compartment Syndrome …
I had a whole new outlook on life.”
— Jacqueline Moore on Coach Kaehler’s Body Balance Evaluation
Jacqueline Moore is a bright, vivacious 22 year old athlete who’s going places. Africa to be exact, with the Peace Corps in spring 2012.
Since her early childhood, Moore has been an avid athlete. “My parents had a rule,” says Moore. “While (my brothers and sister and I) were in school, we had to participate in a sport.”
Originally a lacrosse player, Moore made the switch to rowing as a sophomore in high school. A natural and powerful athlete, Moore excelled in the sport from day one. As training demands increased however, so did the pain in both of Moore’s arms.
In her senior year, after extensive testing, Moore was diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome — a serious condition that involves increased pressure on muscle compartments (surrounding fascia or ‘sacks’) as they grow or expand from training.
To correct the condition, Moore subsequently endured extensive surgery — first on her arms, and years later, as a sophomore in college, on the outer sides of both legs. Both recoveries were slow and painful, involving casts, a wheelchair for her leg surgery and powerful painkillers.
“It was a miserable and lonely 6-week recovery,” says Moore. “ I dropped from 174lbs to 138 lbs.”
Determined to recover, and return to the active life style her parents had always fostered, Moore consulted Coach Kaehler for help with her condition. “He sounded really interested in my situation,” says Moore.
“Compartment Syndrome defined my athletic ability … it put limits that I never thought I’d have prior to being diagnosed. But after finding Coach Kaehler, I realized I was perfectly capable of competing on an international level if I trained correctly.
Her thoughts after following Coach Kaehler’s program for 6 weeks?
“I had a whole new outlook on life,” Moore responds.
“ I finally felt like I had a plan of attack to battle my Compartment Syndrome … After taking a non-surgical approach with Coach Kaehler, I was able to see and feel improvement.”
“I noticed the biggest improvement in my legs … The hip flexor strengthening exercises resulted in my no longer losing complete feeling in my feet … I was able to run longer without pain.”
Asked about Coach Kaehler’s Body Balance process, Moore replies, “The whole program is worth it! Coach Kaehler makes it almost impossible to do anything incorrectly, so success is inevitable if the workouts are completed.”
“I would recommend Coach Kaehler to those with or without conditions, but especially to those who go through surgery. Coach Kaehler works diligently to understand what you’re going through and how he can be the most help to you, “ says Moore. “I went to Coach Kaehler thinking he would be easy on me — like the other trainers / doctors / coaches … but he forced me to to do basic exercises in a whole new manner … which resulted in physical improvements I saw on a weekly basis.”
Back on track with her familiar and fulfilling life-style, Moore resumed her rowing and racing with the Steel City Rowing Club through the summer of 2011. Moore currently works as a marketing intern for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and prepares for her first and fast-approaching African adventure with the Peace Corps next spring.
** Coach Kaehler’s Body Balance Process is not medical treatment, and he does not treat pain. Body Balance issues are identified and corrected to allow restoration of powerful and pain-free training. All of his clients have gone through traditional medicine channels first and have been screened by a medical physician. (M.D. or D.O.)
