Sharon's Story

As an educator, Sharon was very active. Because of significant knee pain, she was forced to retire and her treatment was no longer covered through insurance.

Sharon continued to use what she learned in therapy to try and minimize the pain. Shortly after, she learned about It’s Time Texas’ Health Coaching program which provided her support, accountability, and motivation.

She found the program easy to use and enjoyed having someone she could talk to for encouragement. Today, the pain in Sharon’s knees is under control and she is no longer kept her from being active or getting restful sleep. Recently, Sharen shared with her coach, “I move around now without thinking about my knees or pain”.
