Kicking off 2018 with our January Athlete of the Month… Quentin V
“If you saw the mobility limitations Quentin had when he first came to Rx a little over a year ago you wouldn’t believe that it was the same athlete, but that’s just a testament to the consistency and hard work he’s put into improving his overall wellness – Making this all the more impressive is the fact that Quentin spends most of his week on the road, traveling for work.” Coach Jeremiah
