Jay Schroeder on Primal Reflex Release Technique™

Hi, I'm Jay Schroeder, former NFL quarterback with the Washington Redskins and Los Angeles Raiders. I'm here to talk about the things that John Imes does and the difference in physical therapy that you get done as an athlete. I've experienced it firsthand with him multiple times. Despite having the best care throughout my NFL career, none could solve some of the problems I faced. I had major back problems once, specifically a week before training camp when my back locked up. I came into John's office in a wheelchair early in the morning, and after a couple of hours of treatment, I walked out with no pain and went to practice a week later. His techniques and research over the years have been remarkable. He worked on every aspect of my body, making me feel 100% each time, even after repeatedly injuring myself week after week. For those hesitant to try something new, I assure you that working with John and his techniques will be a blessing. His work is different—if you tell him your calf hurts, he'll work on your head; if your head hurts, he'll work on your calf. He finds how the body readjusts itself and makes those trigger mechanisms work to optimize your performance as an athlete. I highly recommend giving him an opportunity to show you what he does. You'll be amazed at the quality of his work and what he can achieve.

Jay Schroeder's Treatment

Legendary NFL quarterback Jay undergoes a treatment session with John Iams, focusing on the muscles in his jaw, neck, and shoulders. Iams identifies tension and crepitus in the jaw muscles, which he addresses through muscle stimulation techniques. By relaxing these muscles, he observes improvements in Jay's neck rotation and movement. Iams also examines and adjusts Jay's nose alignment and neck vertebrae, leading to further enhancements in mobility. The session concludes with significant progress in Jay's range of motion and a reduction in muscular tension, allowing for easier and more natural movements.
