My name is Iryna Abramova. Dr. Barbara Rodwin, Barbara, and I are part of the same dragon boat team. We have known each other and trained together since 2013.
In May, at the beginning of our training season I mentioned to Barbara that I was experiencing a lack of energy. I felt weak, tired and not able to push myself at my training routine as I used to.
Barbara asked me if I had been taking any supplements. Once she learned and reviewed my supplements, she recommended adding Advanced B Complex and BCAA to my diet and daily routine. As soon as I started taking the supplements, what a difference they made to my performance! I have been so pleased with my results that I have been raving about BCAA to all my friends and colleagues!
I am extremely happy and privileged to know Dr. Barbara Rodwin as she is super friendly and always ready to help and provide advice.
I had an old meniscus injury back in 2013, but the pain had subsided since then.
In June 2015, I had an issue with my right knee when all of a sudden, I had a hard time walking. This happened after my regular weight training, dragon boat practice, and hike in the Gatineau s , I could no longer walk as I had a sharp pain in my right knee. The pain was so uncomfortable and alarming that I called Barbara asking her if she could take a look at my knee and let me know what I need to do. Dr. Barbara Rodwin was so compassionate and responsive that she made arrangements to see me the same day at her home. She assessed my knee, did the Active Release treatment (ART), adjusted my knee, gave me a knee brace, and suggested to ice the knee for 20minutes several times a day. Following that first treatment, Barbara followed up on my recovery and progress performing the ART treatments at whatever locations we were training at, the Rideau Canoe Club or Ottawa River Black Rapids. Barbara has enabled me to function properly until the MRI was taken to determine I require a scoping procedure that has been scheduled the end of October.
I'm sincerely happy to know and train with Dr. Barbara Rodwin as she is an amazing person and doctor who is compassionate, full of information and advice and always ready to help!
