Her challenges began early in life, battling polio that affected her right leg, which led to a fused ankle and constant muscle atrophy. Her leg was visibly thinner than the left, and she experienced chronic headaches, muscle fatigue, and a sense of coldness in her leg that physiotherapy could not resolve. As Chrissie Zurcher recounts, “Since she’s been coming to us, she no longer uses crutches. Her headaches have gone. She told us, ‘I spent two years going to physio—nothing changed. Since I’ve been coming to you guys, my life has changed.’”
The transformation was profound. Not only did she regain strength, but her muscles in the right leg began to rebuild, showing new resilience and temperature balance with her left leg. “Now, it’s the same temperature as the other leg, and the muscle is being built,” Chrissie shared, marvelling at the improvements. According to Frank, “The leg itself, now twice the size it was, is gaining condition, and she’s walking around without crutches.”
