As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer...
As a 72-year-old retired classical dancer with treatment-resistant depression, I'd lost all joy in life until Dr. Kurinjinathan introduced me to novel neuromodulation therapy. His integration of movement therapy with medication completely transformed my recovery, I'm now teaching dance to seniors with mental health challenges.
