Patient Success Spotlight

“I had a skiing mishap and after a year of pain in my knee, I went to OPT. I worked with Jake at the Kent Easthill clinic. Although I didn’t think so at first, Jake was just what I needed - patient and encouraging but he never let me rest on my laurels, always challenging me to get to the next level but never bullying. I’m able to go back to my exercise classes, hiking and skiing. I wasn’t optimistic in the beginning that I would make enough progress, but Jake had enough enthusiasm for both of us until I could catch up and believe in the exercises. The manual manipulation on my kneecap helped me get started. You have to put in the work but a good therapist, like Jake, will coach you to do the right exercises and use proper form. Everyone in the clinic was friendly and helpful. OPT was recommended by my orthopedic doctor who said their patients get the best results there and I agree.” G.W. “Everyone in the clinic was friendly and helpful.”
