Ambassadors

Ellen Renard

I have always been headache prone, even as a child growing up. Headaches would hit all the time and progress into migraine at least a few times a year.

When I was a teen I was heavily involved in sports and ended up suffering back to back concussions all through high school, totaling about 5 or 6 by the time I started college in the fall of 2016. At this point my chronic headache became chronic migraines, affecting just about every aspect of my life. Not only was I in pain but I had horrible mood swings, my ability to learn, to read, and even see all were getting worse and worse; none of the medication the doctors were putting me on were helping.

Fast forward about a year and Emily Vatter had reached out to my family to share that she and her daughter Natalie had traveled to a clinic in Guelph, Canada in hopes of helping Natalie with a similar issue. This clinic was Moore MyoWoxs. Having known the Vatter family for a long time I took a leap of faith and contacted MyoWorx to get treatment myself.

I went to Guelph in July of 2018 and it was life changing!

I went through their Accelerated Recovery Program (ARP), it was hard work both mentally and physically but it put my life back into my hands. After completing the ARP program I was in a place to start to manage my symptoms and treatment on my own in Colorado. After a good 6 months of a few virtual appointments and staying consistent with the plan that MyoWorx created for me I was a whole new person, even better than I was before all my concussions. My vision cleared up, my mood swings were gone, the anxiety was manageable again, my reading got better which in turn helped my learning (and my grades), AND the chronic headaches and migraine were virtually gone!

No more medication, no more missing classes or work, no more missing out on social events…I had my life back. Are the headaches and migraines completely gone 100% for me? No, but I only get maybe 2 or 3 migraines a year and I now have a game plan of how to bring it down to a manageable headache.

To this day I still follow the routine and workouts they gave me back in 2018 just for maintenance reasons to make sure I continue to feel as great as I do. My favorite part about MyoWorx (other than the people) is that it is completely self driven, they teach you these movements and help to bring you to a manageable point and the rest is up to you (with their help if you are in need). I love having the power to manage my headaches and migraine on my own, it is a whole different kind of freedom rather than being tied to medication.

I can’t thank MyoWorx enough for everything they have done for me which is why I agreed to be an ambassador on their behalf.
