Discussing Ways To Avoid An Injury

• PATIENT RESULTS • Hear what our patients have to say!

I’m a much better runner today! “One week from today I will participate in my first ultra marathon. That I feel fully prepared and have absolute confidence that I will perform well is attributable to my rehabilitation as directed by my physical therapist Dr. Penny Goldberg and her team. Diagnosed with insertional achilles tendonitis, I was concerned that my longer term goal of competing in the Boston Marathon might also be in jeopardy. Penny worked with me to develop a varied and challenging strength and rehabilitation program. My program included exercises for managing inflammation and speeding recovery as well as methodologies that protected me as I returned to running. When I had to take a week for travel, Penny showed me how to do PT with hotel room furniture. As the symptoms of my injury became more manageable, my physical therapy came to feel like personal training, I looked forward to the challenge every week and fed off the positive energy of the PT staff. In the end, my PT experience transcended rehabilitation by helping me realize greater athletic function than I had prior to coming to Request. I’m a much better runner today that I was when I started PT. Many of the exercises and therapies I learned are now part of my regular training. Thanks for everything!” -R.R.
