Knee Pain - Which Of The Common Costly Mistakes Will You Make When Trying To End Knee Pain Successfully?

My history includes multiple surgeries and a progressive disease. I knew I was compensating and growing weak in large muscle groups, but did not know how much until I started receiving treatment from Jeff. As a health care professional, I arrived for my assessment reporting what I thought was the main issue. I couldn’t have been more wrong, because by the time I sought therapy I was compensating all over. Jeff is skilled at staying unbiased, an expert in his manual skills, and well versed in letting the body guide him as to which way to progress the treatment. Treatments are packed full of alternative approaches to eliminating the issue, education and practical home programs. The benefits are welcomed. They have allowed me increased function with less fatigue and pain in all my daily activities. I still require further intervention and will continue treatments. Thank you Jeff for your exceptional abilities to see past the obvious, confidence in your skills, ability to listen to the clients needs, life altering treatments and acknowledgement of being second.

Before coming to see Jeff, I had been in and out of physical therapy for almost 6 years after an exercise-related injury had resulted in two hip surgeries and two knee procedures. Not much had helped by way of controlling my pain and keeping my symptoms at bay – I would feel better for a little while, but once regular therapy stopped, my pain would return. I had gone from being very physically active (working out, yoga, dancing, etc.) to being in pain most of the time.

I first heard about manual therapy from a physical therapist years early that I had been going to for therapy, but she was early on in her training. I also had a friend that had seen one of Jeff’s colleagues in the past, and she recommended manual therapy highly.  After months and months of my pain getting progressively worse, I finally decided that I was tired of not being active and not being able to even climb stair or sit on my couch to relax without having pain.

I started working with Jeff in July 2015. At first I had been very hesitant because my injuries had caused the need to so much physical therapy in the past, but after a few sessions I was already seeing improvement in my pain level and my ability to accomplish every day activities without additional pain. Because my pain had subsided tremendously, I started working out again after about 6 months after my first session – at first it was one to two times per week, but it was more than nothing and it gave me hope. Eventually, Jeff and I starting working on fitness goals versus pain management.

This past summer I bought a bike and am now training for a 150-mile bike ride to take place in May 2017. It is amazing to think that in less than two years, I have gone from completely inactive and in almost constant pain to training for a major event. If anyone is considering starting physical therapy with Jeff, I would highly recommend it. I am able to be the active person that I once was and look forward to continued health because of the time I have been able to work with Jeff.
