I was first introduced to Dr. Fragoso while training for my second professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fight. During the course of training, I was constantly plagued with nagging injuries—back pain, muscle adhesions, soft tissue damage, sprains, and hip problems. In dire need of a remedy, I put myself into the hands of Dr. Fragoso. Due to his Active Release Techniques (ART) treatment, I recover faster, perform better, and have increased flexibility and strength. My body has never felt better. His practice, treatment, and knowledge of the human body have changed my life. Thanks for curing my pain, increasing my performance, and enhancing my general health.

 To be a champion requires a team.  I am extremely grateful and fortunate that Dr. Fragoso was and is on my team.  Whether you're pursuing a world record, or simply want to be able to carry your child without pain; the modern treatment solutions that Dr. Fragoso provides are critical to your physical health.  Thanks to John's help, on January 14th thru 18th 2010, I was able to perform on the drums for 108.5 hours over a 4 and 1/2 day period.  The effort resulted in producing the 2nd longest worldwide marathon drumming record in history.  The event also secured my place in history as 1 of only three drummers to ever perform over 100 hours world wide.  Since the event Dr. John has continued to provide his healing services, enabling my body to recover faster and perhaps even stronger than before.  Thank you John and staff.               Lou Mars- Professional Drummer (Post Guiness Drumming World Record Attempt) 

I had pain in the inside of my knee that got so severe I could not run at all.  This happened right before the beginning of my track season.  As a collegiate athlete I only get a numbered amount of years to compete- I thougt my season was over.  I made an appointment with Dr. Fragoso who is an Active Release Techniques provider and after treatment I noticed improvement immediately.  Within a few weeks I could run without pain!  It saved my season.              Michelle Johnson- Chico State Cross Country/Track 

 I experienced major right shoulder discomfort including both pain and numbness along shoulder blade that effected sleeping in addition to other activities. Right hip and glute pain/numbness especially after riding, which interfered greatly with performance and recovery. I've gone to them all- massage, chiropractic, accupressure, accupuncture, and all only gave temporary (just a few days) results. ART has actually made the symptoms go away for weeks or longer at a time. When symptoms come back it is only during major training (cycling) and never with the same severity as I originally came in with. It is the only method I've found that works.

I recently had a tendonitis related knee injury stemming from over use which brought my running to a complete stop just weeks before beginning training for a half marathon. At the outset I doubted my ability to not only train but even run the race given my past experiences with healing times associated with tendon injuries. I was referred to Dr. John Fragoso who had treated a number of fellow runners on a myriad of issues. Using Active Release Techniques coupled with some coaching and instruction on efficient stretching and injury prevention Dr Fragoso had me pain free and back to 100% within just a few short weeks! My weekly mileage is back up to pre injury levels and I am on track for competing in my first half marathon!

I am a highly active and competitive triathlete. I came to Dr. Fragoso with severe problems with my psoas (core muslce) and iliotibial band. These issues created problems with every part of my structure, causing chronic pain and diminished performance in athletics. After just a couple of sessions with Dr. Fragoso I began to heal and get a handle on the problem. At 50 years old I am now experiencing superior freedom of movement and increased athletic performance.

I started seeing Dr. Fragoso after a major flare up of hip pain that had bothered me for over 15 years. As an endurance athlete I subject my body to extreme stresses and over the years have accumulated chronic injuries that had previously been resistant to treatment. When I came to Dr. Fragoso I couldn't run for more than 5 minutes without extreme piercing pain causing me to stop. With his help I was able to run in 3 weeks and back to my normal training schedule within 2 months. Since seeing Dr. Fragoso I have been recording some of my best times ever in biking, running, and swimming. Dr. John is the bomb!

For several years I endured pain in the arch of my foot with nearly every step. A visit to an orthopedic surgeon informed me that I was experiencing pain as the result of a pulled tendon and that surgery would be required. Two years later I began treatment with Dr. Fragoso. After three treatments with ART, I could feel the difference. Within two months Dr. Fragoso had broken down most of the scar tissue that caused my pain and I was able to enjoy physical activiites once again. I regularly refer my friends and neighbors to Dr. Fragoso. I have never experienced results as quicly as I have with ART. - Norma Rodriquez, CSUC Professor

It is a wonderful feeling to be pain-free, a feeling I didn’t expect. I had lower back, shoulder, and carpal tunnel pain. I’d had massage and physical therapy, but none gave me long-lasting relief. My massage therapist kept suggesting I go to Dr. Fragoso. I finally did and after several treatments noticed one day that I felt differently. My body didn’t hurt. Wow! At 59, I’d expected to have to live with these pains forever. Now I know I don’t!
