In life, we have pivotal moments. Events that set our path, that lead us to profound realizations on or goals.

My name is Marty Sanchez, founder of Desire Wellness and creator of the DKR System.

I had one of these moments during my junior year at California Lutheran University.

 

I was going to school on a football scholarship, looking forward to the new season. During one of our games, I suffered a major rupture of my hamstring muscle in my upper thigh and was unable to continue playing the sport I loved.  


After an evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon, I was told I may never be able to return to playing football. Feeling devastated, I battled depression and feared my leg would never recover. 


A good friend of mine then recommended an orthopedic physical therapist in the area. Amazingly after only three treatments, I was back to jogging. Following her training regimen, I made great progress and was back in shape a few months before the start of my senior year. 


That year I was named team captain and felt as good as I ever have physically. It was my best year of football. 


This profound experience changed my path and I knew I wanted to work to change people's lives like mine was changed that year. 


My goal is to help you regain your life and improve your vitality as you follow my systematic approach to improve your mobility and strength. 


The DKR System was created for all ability levels and is easy enough to use from the comfort of your own home.


Your desire for improvement paired with my professional knowledge is the recipe for your desired results...
