Fitsom's VA Service-Connected Wellness

Your path to feeling good starts here.
Our FOUNDERS STORY

From Pain to Purpose

Welcome to Fitsom's VA Service-Connected Wellness, dedicated to supporting Veterans on their path to health and well-being post military service. Our program offers a comprehensive approach to understanding how stress, chronic pain, and trauma impact the human body's anatomy and function.
This program provides thorough education for Veterans, focusing on key concepts such as fascia, blood circulation, and the physiological effects of stress. Chronic pain, including foot and lower back pain, is common among Veterans. We aim to equip Veterans with a deep understanding of the underlying causes of their tightness and pain, arming them with the knowledge to independently manage and achieve lasting relief.
WHAT WE DO

FROM MILITARY TO CIVILIAN LIFE

Together In Strength: Supporting Our Veteran's Next Chapter

Fitsom's VA Service-Connected Wellness embodies Marco's personal journey of post-military recovery. Working closely with massage therapists, doctors of osteopathic medicine, and wellness practitioners, Marco confronted the physical and emotional toll of combat trauma head-on. Through targeted bodywork, ice baths, and infrared sauna sessions, he gradually liberated himself from major adhesions and chronic aches and pains. These holistic techniques not only alleviated his aliments but also equipped Marco with essential tools and techniques, empowering him to manage his health independently.
Recognizing the deeply personal nature of healing, especially for those who have served, Marco is dedicated to creating a supportive environment. "As a fellow Veteran, I’ve walked a familiar path. I’ve seen the ‘one size fits all’ solutions post-service often falling short, especially for our unique injuries.  Intense workouts aren’t always the answer; they can lead to more pain and frustration. That’s why I’m here—having lived through the pain, the search for real solutions, and the relief of finding them. My goal is to share this with my fellow Veterans, guiding them through recovery with tools that truly consider where you’re coming from.” — Marco Guizar, Founder

With firsthand experience navigating the complexities of the service-connected rating system, Marco understands the challenges Veterans face in accessing comprehensive care and support. Fitsom's program stands as Marco's testament to resilience and dedication to assisting fellow Veterans in navigating their own paths of healing and recovery.
