He can assist his patients with exercises and programs that he comes up with and watch his patients grow with every visit.

He loves to encourage and motivate whenever he can regardless of who and how he does so. Jeremy says, "It’s not going to be easy, it took a lot of long nights and failures. But it makes you a better you and it makes you want to fight even harder. Enjoy the ride, stay dedicated and keep the faith. God, family and that one special person is what helped me the most."
