I have tried physical therapy, dry needling, traditional chiropractors and even went as far as seeing a surgeon when I started experiencing numbness and tingling down my arm. Dry needling and traditional chiro work (adjustments) temporarily helped my symptoms but never more than a couple of days. Physical therapy worsened my pain. The Neck surgeon just told me to do more pt and that he couldn’t help me.As a RN for more than 10 years I was discouraged and didn’t know where to turn next. Luckily a friend of mine recommend Dr. Holden. Not only was Dr. Holden able to diagnosis me correctly on the first visit, but within a month of treatment I can honestly say my pain has been reduced by 90%. I am confident by the end of another month I might be pain free. My range of motion has increased and I am now working on strengthening my troublesome areas without the pain I always felt before.I am a walking poster child for Dr. Holden’s work. I believe that the work we are doing now will not only help me be pain free in the moment but also prevent future damage.If you have chronic neck, shoulder, back, or joint pain that has been unresponsive to other treatment do yourself a favor and make an appointment. Dr. Holden is a trust worthy practitioner that does amazing life changing work. read less

I have suffered from back pain for 10+ years with little to no relief and was contemplating back surgery before I found Avail Soft Tissue and Spine. Dr. Holen spent an hour and a half doing flexibility tests and explaining treatment to me on our first visit, after the first few visits I experienced significant relief from my pain and over a year later I have my LIFE back and don’t have to worry about how my back is going to feel. I am able to work out, paddle board, ski, and just live a normal day to day life without back pain or fear of throwing my back out. Bonus points for Sven the office dog!! Don’t hesitate and make the appointment with Dr. Holen for relief and quality patient care. read less

My diagnoses ranged from tarsal tunnel and plantar fasciitis to heel spurs and fibromatosis. My chief symptoms were pain all along the arches of both feet, at times throbbing/pulsating pain, exacerbated by just about any kind of activity, including standing. I’d tried physical therapy, multiple evaluations and imaging, acupuncture, anti-inflammatories, rest, and orthotics, all with little or no success. The pain shut down my previously active aerobic lifestyle, and no explanation seemed to fit.Upon the recommendation of friends, I opted to see if Dr. Holen might be able to help. He determined that soft tissue adhesions were literally keeping me stuck, and thereby limiting my mobility. Over the last two months, Dr. Holen has worked to break up these adhesions that developed all along the bottoms of both feet. At this point, I’m up to 70 percent better and out of the acute phase of pain, which I am so thankful for. I have been able to get back to some of my aerobic activities, and believe me, I was wondering if I ever would.Dr. Holen’s approach is very measured and scientific, and he’s honest about where his therapy can help and where it can’t. As I reflect on all the many doctor’s appointments I’ve had in the last several months, it’s not surprising Dr. Holen has been the one to crack the code – because he has made several assessments of my progress, seeing me week by week, 100 percent committed to helping me recover. With other doctors, it has just seemed like endless guesswork and speculation. Additionally, Dr. Holen has considered issues with my back in relation to what was going on with my feet – something many other specialists told me was of no correlation.I’m still working on making more gains. I couldn’t have gotten here with out Dr. Holen’s help. Thank you!! read less

Finally when my pain was unbearable and walking was difficult, I made the call. I have had a handful of visits and I’m pain free. I only wish I had started seeing Dr. Holen years ago. Now I look forward to addressing other chronic issues that I have continued to put off. Don’t live in pain, make the call, you will be thankful you did. read less

He has become both strength and mentor in this journey. I highly recommend him for anyone dealing with long term issues from traumatic injury.He helped decrease muscle adhesion and improve flexibility. This has helped immensely. He also got me engaged in strengthening my neck and back with simple suggestions and praise for consistency of effort. No judgment or criticism. Only active listening and encouragement.After some time we were able to separate “referred” pain from real problem sites and symptoms. This has been invaluable to my progress. He has worked with my physicians and neurologist. They appreciate his input and descriptions of movement and flexion. He is willing to summarize and report to them and act as an advocate to other professionals as needed.I heartily recommend Adam and Erin at Avail for anyone dealing with the long term path of traumatic injury recovery. read less

It certainly is an overlooked aspect of healthcare, and his approach is focused on locating and releasing adhesions to improve range of motion and reduce tension across joints. This technique helped improve my low back and hip flexibility and thus reduced pain I was experiencing in my hip. A knowledgeable resource and a cool dude, I’d highly recommend! read less

During this time, I’ve gone to chiropractors, massage therapists and doctors all whom only provided temporary relief. I came to see Adam hoping to finally find out why I was pain and for a solution. Adam has been extremely professional, informative , kind and understanding. I finally began to learn why I’d been in pain for so long and we began to work on eliminating it. After having tried so many different therapies and modalities I was apprehensive and unsure this would even help. I am excited to share that I can know do things I only wished of! I can ski without being in pain for days, enjoy hikes with my children, spend hours pushing kids on the swing and chasing after them and carry my baby without dreading it. Truly amazing and grateful for having found Adam and Erin at Avail Soft Tissue & Spine read less
