Patient Success Spotlight

“I couldn’t be happier, or more grateful!”

“I’ve been physically active my whole life – from competitive figure skating in my youth, to strength training, Pilates, kick-boxing and running on a regular basis as an adult. Three years ago, low back and hip pain eventually led to a trip to the ER, followed up with a misdiagnosis of “possible” disc bulging/slipping/herniation/sciatica. Three months with a Doctor recommended physical therapist and complete lack of physical activity, gave me back my functional movement, but any attempt to return to prior activity levels led to chronic pain, frustration and life on the couch with my heating pad. My pain continued to worsen, and I truly felt that no one in the medical community that I spoke with was listening to me about my history or the source of my pain. Then a friend told me about their experience with Oakland Physical Therapy. When I looked on the website and saw that not only was Kristie Kava an Orthopedic PhysicalTherapist, but that she incorporated Pilates and pelvic stability into her practice, I felt hope for the first time in a long while. At my first visit, she spent more than an hour with me, asking about my history and doing a complete and thorough physical exam. Her knowledge, skills and professionalism are highly impressive and those, coupled with the care and compassion that she has shown me have made all the difference. Four months of a plan personalized for me, and a lot of motivation and hard work have given me my life back and I couldn’t be happier, or more grateful! I’m so looking forward to gradually returning to my active lifestyle and I would shout my recommendation of Oakland.” -M.D.
