When I first started working with her, I had very severe shin splints that mde it incredibly difficult to train. his has been an ongoing problem for several years that I had not been able to find a solution to. She used a variety of different treatment methods to eliminate the pain. I also suffered a very severe back injury that required emergency surgery. Dr. Carlton was an integral apart of my recovery. I have also worked with her on maintaining my body so I am always competition ready.
