As we know, part of living an active lifestyle means sometimes getting hurt. For Chris Long, an avid dirt biker, skier, mountain biker, and overall outdoor enthusiast, this has been the only downside to being as active and adventurous as he is. Fortunately, that also means we’ve gotten to know Chris pretty well over the years and have always been happy to help him get back to his outdoor pursuits. He first came to see us when he was recovering from knee surgery, and despite the discomfort he experienced at the time, Chris says our physical therapists made everything easy on him. “It was a painless process,” Chris says. “They made it all easy — dealing with forms, insurance, the exercises. When I did my intake, they were interested in the whole, not just the particular injury. They wanted to know my background and all the things that might contribute to therapy and recovery. They didn’t just focus on my knee but took a holistic perspective and treated my whole body.” Over the years, Chris has returned to PT Pro anytime an injury or pain comes up. “I’ve seen most of the PTs here. They’ve seen everyone in my family, too,” he says with a laugh. “Everyone is extremely knowledgeable. It’s a great set of people. They get to know you and what you want to accomplish. The facilities are great, too. They have so many tools that can help you along that therapy path.” Chris appreciates that even when he makes an appointment with a different physical therapist, they know everything about his injury and recovery. “You can see any of them without feeling like you’re starting over,” Chris says. “The treatment is seamless.” Of course, there’s a key part of Chris’ recovery that isn’t up to us. “PT Pro is great about giving you everything you need to succeed — if you need bands to take home or exercises to do. But if you want to recover, get back to your passion, and have a healthy lifestyle, we as patients have to put in the work to do it.” Like Chris says, the fact that he’s been able to heal is really thanks to his diligence and determination when it comes to sticking with his PT at home and doing the exercises we give him. We may be the coaches and guides, but our hard-working patients are inspiring.
