Medical Conditions Helped by ATX

I highly recommend Chair Yoga with Elizabeth on Tuesday mornings, 11:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods.

Last year, November 2015, my back went out and I had to go to the chiropractor.  I ended up seeing him only 7 weeks instead of 10 weeks.

I told my chiropractor that I was going to chair yoga at my church with Elizabeth.  He said, “It’s really helping your back, in fact she is doing such a good job she is going to put me out of business.”

Since January 2016, I have only had to see my chiropractor twice – thanks to Elizabeth.

Thank you Elizabeth!  You are worth your weight in gold.

As a Parkie, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2004, I have known Elizabeth during the last 4 or 5 years of my journey with this disease.

She is a very likable, energetic, well trained, motivational speaker and instructor.  Her ATX program is a blend of guided meditation, yoga stretching and relaxation.

I would highly recommend her classes as a component of various physical ability levels.

I have seen her program adapted to both seated, and floor conducted classes.  Not only do you feel good after a session, but it works.  Case in point was a recent session in August 2015.  My blood pressure before a session was 157/92.  After a 30 minute session with Elizabeth my readings were 116/ 68.

Give Elizabeth a call and check out her program and I believe you’ll be an ATX advocate too.

“I have MFM, a form of muscular dystrophy, which interferes with many aspects of my life. Following my treatment, I was very relaxed and able to sleep through the night. The stretching helped to relieve some of the pain I experience from not being able to move very well and my balance seemed improved for several days afterward.  ATX Worx for me!”

– R. Anderson, Muscular Dystrophy

“ATX provides me a chance to relax and take a deep breath … ATX helps me is the fact that it allows a lot more flexibility. I have problems with my lower back and the low-impact workouts really help to open things up.”

“My name is Merci and I did a one-on-one with Elizabeth Logue in ATX as well as a class. Through the constant breathing, I was more aware of myself and my stress level. Through the exercises, I felt like my lower back and upper body were strengthening.  It was east to follow her instructions and was highly orderly and calm.

“I would suggest ATX to anyone who needs relaxation and strengthening work in their body and soul.  ATX Worx!”

“I am extremely involved in competitive sports (i.e., 2 Boston Marathons, over 10 NYC Marathons, 83 mile bike race in Africa, Master Swim Program, Competitive Tennis, etc). I began a conversation with Elizabeth regarding this new, unique program she was developing to improve sports performance using focused breath work, stretching, and hands-on body work. Given all the wear on my joints, I have developed discomfort/pain in my lower back and knees, as well as tight hamstrings. After just one session with Elizabeth, I was completely amazed at how much better I felt. I had much less pain for several days in both my knees and back and my hips felt more open. All of this enhanced breathing and improved flexibility has positively impacted my training. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their overall sports performance.”

“I am a 53 year old woman with a few health issues. I had a session with Elizabeth Logue and the experience from start to finish was exhilarating. It was calming, relaxing and soothing. The experience began with glorious prayer, then onto Elizabeth encouraging me to relax and focus on myself and my breathing. It is very difficult for me to do any type of exercise, as I have severe neck and back pain; due to an injury as well as fibromyalgia, nerve impingement and nerve damage on the left side of my body.

“My time with Elizabeth was brilliant. Not once did I feel pushed to go beyond my limit or capacity. Quite the contrary, Elizabeth’s first priority was my safety and well-being. From there we proceeded with the session. Elizabeth’s calm demeanor and attention to my being calm, comfortable and always reminding me to not just breath, but breath slowly enhanced the experience. But never did Elizabeth become aggressive or intrusive in my quite place. Elizabeth made it known from the start to finish that this session was about me and my needs. Elizabeth opened with a breathing technique, while I was lying on my back. All the while keeping her voice smooth, soft and tranquil while instructing and encouraging me to move into a new position.

“Elizabeth made this a wonderful experience for me and i cannot wait to share this with not just my woman friends, but my husband and his buddies. I am currently gathering my gals to do just that, have the session of their life.  Thank you Elizabeth.”

“This morning, I decided to try an Authentic Therapeutix class. I was experiencing a great deal of back pain caused by my menstrual period. Immediately after the session, I felt so much better. In fact, the whole week I felt better. I would recommend ATX to anyone who asks. It is so easy to follow the instructor. The dynamic stretching along with the breathing is very relaxing and definitely helps.”

“I want to let you know how much I enjoyed your unique Authentic Therapeutix (ATX) session! I especially appreciated that you considered my physical condition and abilities while designing a therapy approach that focused on my specific needs. I am a middle-aged woman who suffers from plantar fasciitis and after our session I was able to walk pain free for days! Your method of combining the disciplines of therapeutic yoga, stretching, Christian yoga and hands-on body work left me renewed and refreshed in mind, body and spirit!”

“I  am so glad I met Elizabeth!  🙂 She is a real GIFT.   She is ‘others-centered. ‘   She has a genuine  passion for blessing others and helping others live life more fully, regardless, of  disabilities, challenges and limitations.  She teaches best that which she is:  an ATX –model. Her life-journey makes her a credible example.  Her expertise, professionalism, in addition, her optimism and hopeful attitude is refreshing contagious energy.

“I will share how I am benefiting personally from  ATX.  I like how simple it is to do whether with her in a class for a 30-minute session (always enjoyable) or on my own using the ATX DVD.

“ATX is practical ‘coping’ tools and techniques that help me better manage stress and anxiety. I  have always been a high-energy, “go-go,  non- stop”  person, in fact my nickname is Zippy! 🙂 I have enjoyed good health and energy my entire life. What a blessing! Unfortunately, relaxing has not been high on my priority list.

“However, since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, 13 months ago,  I am learning that I need to make some life changes and give myself permission to relax.  It’s essential for my body, mind and spirit.  I’m trying to tell myself to stop and be OK with my stillness and quietness.  It is a choice, a skill and an art that requires desire, work and practice.  ATX is helping me learn how to be comfortable with my silence (stillness, quietness), to relax by breathing, stretching, and practicing mindfulness — staying focused and fixed on one thing at a time.  To practice being in the moment— the here-and-now.

“Since beginning ATX, I realize re-wiring my brain and adapting to new practices and habits takes time, but I am convinced of the benefits.  I am committed to keep practicing and making it a way of life.”
