I had this awesome physical therapist (Mick) who did wonders for my IT band. As a result, I had the best race I have ever run and I ran it pain free!! Seriously I felt amazing through the entire thing. I was physically and mentally prepared for everything I encountered.
K. T. (runner – 1st ½ Marathon)Mick helped me with heel pain. I was told by one doc I would never run again. Got a second opinion and was guided toward Mick! Ran 14 miles Saturday before last and 10 last Saturday – pain free!!
A. C. (trail runner)We are fortunate in this community to have a resource such as yourself. It is a tremendous comfort as a coach to know that you have knowledgeable, sound, and competent athletic medical support at your fingertips. My only fear is that the word will get out and we will need to resort to some weird medical science to clone you 10X over. Keep up the exceptional work.
M. S. (high/middle school track & field head coach, runner)I highly recommend listening to Mick’s advice and taking the time/money to let him draw up a plan. Three years ago I couldn’t run more than 3-4 miles per week because of chronic shin splints. After doing some PT work with Mick I’m now running around 40-50 miles/wk with my long runs lasting around 22-23 miles. My shins still hurt but not even as bad as they did when I was running 4 miles/wk...it’s far better than it used to be. I could have never figured that out on my own, even with all the internet articles and books on the subject.
S. S. (triathlete – 4:17 ½ Iron, 9:43 IM)I finally went to see Mick and with some ultrasound, massage, and stretching I was pain free in a couple of weeks. At that time he was working at a center that was not on my insurance but I paid out of my own pocket – he’s that GOOD!!!
L. P. (runner)Thank you for taking the time and working with me. The exercise program you put me on has really helped. I think if I had had someone like you in the beginning I would not have had to have surgery. Thanks so much for all your help.
D. A. (walker/hiker)I appreciate all of your help in my retraining process, and I have to say that I feel very fortunate to be recommended a PT who’s so knowledgeable, personable, and passionate!
A. M. (runner)I am feeling great! I don’t know what it is, but my legs just started feeling better. Thank you very much for all of your help. You are the only person since being in college that has actually listened to my pain and taken the needed action to help me get better, and for that I will never hesitate to come to you with any issues I am having. Thank you very much for everything!
L. S. (Division 1 track & field athlete)That guy Mick is an awesome PT.
J. C. (Division 1 head track & field coach)After only 3-4 PT sessions you have given me enough info to battle my shin splints better than ( , PT) could do in 4 months of 1-2 sessions/wk. Thanks again.
S. S. (runner)Thank you for your help with my shoulder. I have been so thrilled since I met with you and have been doing the exercises that you suggested and I have been pain free. I sincerely appreciate your help with this, especially since resolving the pain is essential to my career success.
A. C. (weightlifter)I have been working hard to adjust my form, strengthen my hips and glutes, and increase my calf flexibility. It has been going very well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your suggestions and wonderful explanations! My shin pain is totally gone now, and my training is fantastic. I have told many people about how much you helped me and have made a lot of people jealous! It is still a work in progress, but I think one of the most helpful suggestions you gave was to shorten my stride and have my foot land under my hips. I have gotten rid of my orthotics completely now too. I am excited for this cross country season that has just begun and look forward to running injury-free!
J. R. (Division 2 female cross country & track runner)My knee is doing well. The strength training exercises have made a huge difference….honestly! I cannot believe how well my knee is doing with the exercises. I am still running…although a bit slowly. I am still planning on running the Marines Marathon in October. I want to thank you so much for helping me get a handle on my knee problems. In all my years, I have never been told to work on strengthening but rather to stop running. I plan on continuing to focus on strengthening as I feel that this is the key to my ability to keep running. Thanks again!
R. S. (mother, marathoner, CPA)After just one week of doing those exercises my shoulder felt great…now everything feels fine and normal – I am impressed. Thank you so much!
