Patient Success Story “ THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of the staff at G3, but especially to Monica, for helping me recover frommy strained hip flexor, and for teaching me how to properly stretch and strengthen. When I went to my first appointment, I had been limping for weeks and was worried I’d be told not to run again. Instead, Monica asked me what my goals were, and when I said I wanted to run another marathon, to my surprise, she responded, “Ok, let’s get you there.” At every appointment, Monica and all of the aides were positive and encouraging. The atmosphere was always friendly and upbeat, making it fun to be there, even during challenging sessions. Three half-marathons and one 5K later, I feel great, and I’m training for my next marathon. Thank you, G3!” - Sally G.
