“I came in with a pretty severe groin pull, I had tried multiple treatments before hand. Nothing worked. Lauren was fantastic and uses techniques that are out of the box. Within 2-3 weeks, I felt much better following her protocols and was much more optimistic about recovery. Would recommend anyone to Lauran, and Point Performance”
