Review Quotes

"Dana is an experienced, passionate and knowledgeable teacher. Her insights in quality movement and appropriate breathing techniques will inspire you to improve your quality of life by actively alleviating your back pain. I encourage all of my professional baseball players to participate in her program."--Paul Fournier, ATC, CSCS, RSCC*E, USAW, Major League Baseball Strength and Conditioning Coach

"In a market rife with self-proclaimed 'gurus' and specialists focused on marketing as opposed to delivering pragmatic advice and results, Dana has separated herself and stands as a values-based and science-driven practitioner who is focused far more on helping clients and athletes feel and perform better than she is on her own bottom line. It's refreshing to see the combination of energy and ethics that she brings to her practice and daily life."--Brett Bartholomew MS.ED., CSCS*D, RSCC*D Strength Coach, Best-Selling Author of the book Conscious Coaching, and Founder of the Coach Education Site: ArtOfCoaching.com

"Practical Solutions for Back Pain Relief by Dana Santas is, first and foremost, practical. This book walks us through everything we need to know about relieving back pain issues. I believe what I was told as a young athlete concerning back issues: it is a question of when, not 'if.' Dana's book may be the solution to dealing with the inevitable AND keeping this issue as a mere hurdle not a crash. I highly recommend [it]."--Dan John, Internationally renowned strength and conditioning coach, speaker and author of numerous books, including the Amazon bestseller Now What?
