Before my session with Beth I started with low back pain and sciatica. I woke up the next day pain free. She brought things to my attention just by watching me walk, that I had never considered before. Her entire thorough assessment helped uncover other areas that were contributing to my pain. She focused her treatment on those areas which relieved my pain. She also game me some movements to work on my own which have kept me pain free!

After dealing with sore knees for over a year with visits to an orthopedic surgeon and doing prescribed PT, I was doing an at home CrossFit workout when suddenly I started to develop yet another issue with one of my knees. I was about two months from leaving for a 5-day backpacking trip and needed a solution fast. I needed help, I called Beth Drayer. Beth and I began meeting via zoom and she assessed my condition and gave me exercises and stretches to do. What I liked most about Beth’s approach was that it wasn’t just about doing exercises, but also included why my knees were doing what they were doing. While the exercises hurt some at the beginning, within a week I began to see improvement.
Before I started with Beth, I couldn’t walk down stairs or hills without pain. My knees hurt when I was just sitting or trying to sleep. Within weeks of starting the exercises, the constant pain was all but gone, and my knees were only sore after or during workouts. In the two months prior to the backpacking trip, my knees got stronger and tougher during training hikes, and I was able to do long hikes up to 12 miles with a full backpack. The backpacking trip went really well and included the summit of Mount Whitney. Coming down from the summit to the portal is about 11 miles and 6600 feet of elevation loss, mostly on granite, all done with a 37-pound backpack on my back. The day after leaving the portal I woke to sore but not swollen knees, and within two days no knee pain at all. While my knees do still get sore from time to time, usually after really hard workouts, thanks to Beth, I have the tools and understanding to deal with it. I tell people my “Knees are by Beth”. I won’t hesitate to call her again should I need to. She understands and knows how to help you. You just have to do the work.

Beth Drayer is a genius. At the height of the pandemic stay-at-home orders, she put technology to work in ways I never thought possible, used her expert eye and diagnostic techniques to listen and assess the problem, and saved my (literal) butt.
I was having what felt to me like "hip pain" and "not quite shin splints." Exercise is my escape and respite from the chaos, so the idea of being injured or unable to workout as I wanted was making me SUPER anxious. I asked Beth if she thought she might be able to help, despite not being able to meet in person. She of course said yes, and took the time to have me set up my phone and began to assess. I paraded up and down the hallway, I touched my toes, I reached my arms, all the while wondering "what does this have to do with my hip?" And before long, Beth began to have me try different stretches - the pain subsided!!! It was a miracle! Somehow rolling my ankle side to side eased the pain in the front of my shin and my glute.
Beth gave me homework, and little by little, I improved. The only time I don't feel good now? When I don't do what she told me to. Beth is thorough, patient, funny, kind, and an expert at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to get on track from elite athlete to home workout junkie. Time with Beth will change how you approach what you do with your body

I am a working mom. In my mind, I am strong, agile, and flexible -- the coordinated person I was 25 years ago when I first met Beth Drayer. Since then, Beth has been my favorite health and nutrition expert as I have navigated various challenges and injuries. She is committed to her clients. She always listens intently, guides me honestly, and coaches me to reach my goal. She finds ways to work around my busy travel and work schedule while keeping me honest. I value her commitment to her own professional standards. As she learns new techniques, I feel like I benefit twofold. On more than one occasion, I have suffered from acute pain and called Beth. She has helped me every time, reduced my pain, and gotten me off the floor in one session. Beth has convinced me to listen to my body and treat it well. She has designed a treatment plan, guided me, and championed my progress. I now enjoy a healthier and happier life with energy to meet new challenges."

I have to admit, I had been having trouble with my ankle for a long time. I had ignored it and when it got bad enough, I figured I needed to wait until I could see someone in person. But then I booked a virtual session with Beth Drayer and my ankle felt so much better, even while we were still on the zoom call, which was not something I had even dreamed of! Over the next several weeks, she guided me through stretching and strengthening exercises and I have been pain free for several months now. Beth is extremely knowledgeable. If you are having any kind of pain, you should schedule a virtual session with her and give it a try. Highest recommendation!

I initially went to Beth for an injury to my right hamstring/adductor area which I sustained during training for an upcoming competition. Meeting Beth became one of the most beneficial experiences of my powerlifting career. She assessed my injury and over the course of the prescribed sessions she was able to rehabilitate the injured area to full functionality. Her instruction and use of physical therapy, strength training and plyometric programs turned every session into an opportunity to learn and grow. She helped me to address my issues, achieve my goals and rehab an injury that I thought might curtail my powerlifting goals. I am very thankful to have had Beth's help and would recommend her services to anyone looking to rehab an injury or looking to seriously compete in their respective sport. Everything Beth did for me culminated in a very successful competition where I was able to set multiple records, win my division and qualify for Worlds.Description goes here

Beth is hands down one of the most professional and knowledgeable trainers with whom I've worked. Suffering from painful tension across my shoulders and hips, I've jumped from one trainer and body work profession to the next. No one has been able to pin point the root causes and addressed the nuanced concerns...until Beth! Beth takes the time to teach and promote all around wellness, communicating the solution(s) and ensuring you are taking the steps to follow through. Incredibly, she's able to identify simple solutions to complex problems within a very short period. Her depth of knowledge is astonishing, and I would argue one of the very best in the industry. Since working with Beth, I've better identified the root causes of my chronic pain and have seen substantially progressed. Bottom line, if you have any pain or discomfort or block in progressing your wellness goals, I cannot recommend Beth more highly.
