“Back to tap dancing!”

“I came to Avenues Therapy after a referral from CU Sports Medicine as I had been experiencing more and more pain at the site of my hip replacement. Instead of walking 5 miles each day, I was down to 2 miles and having trouble completing that. Thephysical therapist (Linda)evaluatedmeand recognized that Ihadvery little strength in my right leg. Working with her, we concentrated on my balance and the areas of my hip that needed to be strengthened. I will never be “normal,” but with the time spent with Linda, I am in much less pain and have more stamina.” - Barb C.

“I recently had a right anterior hip replacement performed, and my surgeon recommended that Idophysical therapy rather than justwalkasa rehabilitation method. Iamadancerand liveaveryactive lifestyle, towhich Ihope to return. I chose to do physical therapy at Avenues Physical Therapy Clinic, and it has been instrumental in my recovery so far. I am certain that my recovery is farther along than if I had chosen walking as a rehab. During the years preceding the surgery, I lost both strength and flexibility in the affected hip. My left leg compensated for the injured right one, and my knees felt the strain. A few days after my surgery, I began physical therapy with Kelsey Kean. He gave me an individualized program which strengthened my knees and hip as well as increased my flexibility. Many of the exercises focused on balance and the ability to stabilize my hip, which would not be a major part of the walking problem. Tawna also noted that my right leg was turning inward,which Ihadnoticed,and Ibegan toworkon itsproperalignment. After two months of therapy, I am tap dancing again. My right leg is still weaker than my left, but the difference is less noticeable, and I now have the skills to continue improving. I am grateful to Avenues Physical Therapy for the personalized and detailed care I received to begin taking my life back again.” - Lorraine B. 1 4 6 4 7 3 8 3 2 7 5 9 n° 416609 - Level Expert 7 5 3 3 9

“I had back surgery at the end of July and had to use a walker to walk. My back hurt all the time, and it was very painful getting in and out of bed. With the therapy from Kelsey, I am able to walk without a walker, and my pain is much better. I do still have some pain, but I can live with it. Everyone at Avenues Therapy Clinic was very friendly and helpful. I miss seeing you all. Thanks for all your help!” - Joyce P. “I am able to walk without a walker!”
