Adrian was very friendly and comfortable to work with and very thorough as well to make sure that he found the right areas that you needed to work on.  Highly recommended!"

I Highly recommend giving him a call."

“Adrian Van Der Walt is one of a few health practitioners I have worked with over the past 35+ years, who is capable of yielding immediate results during and after every therapy treatment. I was a bit skeptical about the effectiveness of MAT only because I had never heard of it growing up in New England. I was referred to Adrian by my muscle rehab therapist, who strongly encouraged me to seek Adrian's counsel and muscle activation therapy treatment. The results are astounding! My overall well-being and athletic performance increases exponentially with every treatment. If you have not tried MAT, you simply don't know what you are missing! If you are looking for a health professional that will improve your overall health and well-being, try Adrian once and you will become a believer! Thanks Adrian!”

“I went through a very difficult time with back, hip and leg pain and was told that I was a 99 on a 100 point scale for needing surgery. I could only drive my cat a short distance, couldn't sit at the movies and never was able to sleep through the night. I chose to try deep tissue work, along with ART and MRT. Adrian was able to get my body working well again. He got all my dormant muscles to start working again and I am now the most physically functional that I have been in the last year...and no more pain.i highly recommend Adrian for helping you get your body functioning properly again. I have also referred many friends from my gym who have had similar results with him. If I could, I'd give him 6 stars!!!”

“Adrian at Train Smart SD is the absolute best resource any athlete in any sport can wish for. He helped my son in ways that will absolutely further his baseball career and health through High School and at the University of Alabama. He genuinely cares about his clients and is a rare person that we have been blessed to meet. No one cared more for our son’s health, other than our family, more than him. I’d give him six stars if it was possible.”
