"Thanks to SMART Training I have my life back. After several months of experiencing vertigo and imbalance, I was referred to AVORA. With their expertise and SMART Training / Gyrostim program, I am no longer experiencing vertigo and my imbalance issues have improved dramatically, even to the point where I can, again, play pickleball. Thank you, AVORA, Dr. Holliday, and Grace!"

"So many thanks to Dr. Fox and AVORA.  I just accomplished something which you made possible.  Susan and I just got back from a 21 day cruise to Antarctica, South Georgia Island and the Falkland islands.  It started with a two day journey across the famous Drake Passage which presented us with 45 foot wave swells and some serious rocking of the ship.  We then made several landings using Zodiac boats to journey from ship to shore.  We were wearing heavy and waterproof winter clothes, pants and awkwardly heavy rubber boots.  After swinging or legs over the top of the zodiacs we had to step into 6 inches of ocean water onto small to medium smoothly rounded rocks and gravel.  We walked onto beaches covered with the rounded pebbles. Then we climbed snowy icy slush covered trails in order to see native penguin colonies. This method of transportation was repeated at five different locations in Antartica.  In South Georgia Island, we had four landing sites - with somewhat easier walking among hundreds of native seals. Finally, on East Falkand island, we were transported by bus to a farm which had colonies of King Penguins, Gentoo Penguins and Chinstrap Penguins, all of which were near enough to get good photos. 

Because of your training I was able to complete all 21 days. I am very proud and very thankful to you for having the confidence and desire to deal with this challenge.  A year ago I would have never considered attempting such a challenge.

I cannot thank you and AVORA enough for changing my life at 79 and making it possible for me to take on serious challenges.

Thank you,"
