Patient Spotlight
“I can do the things that I enjoy doing.” Stephen W. “I came here for pain in both my knees and hips. The pain was getting progressively worse. I wasn’t able to run anymore and I had to stop rock climbing. Most of my physical activities were extremely limited to the point where one out of two days I wouldn’t do a whole lot at all. The pain was near constant; sometimes manageable enough to go out and do things but sometimes not. I went to the doctor and for the first time they offered me PT. This has been a condition that has gone on since 2005, so 10-11 years now and I didn’t want to take the pain medicine anymore. I was living with the pain and reducing my activities to the point where I had gained 40 pounds. It was worse and worse so I decided- when I moved to Maine- that part of it was getting myself healthy again. Taking back those activities that I enjoy, taking back my life and I dedicated myself to actually doing it.
Because of the physical therapy and the care that I got here at Back in Motion, I was able to start doing yoga, I started rock climbing again, and I’ve been able to start running again. So In general, I have my life back. I can do the things that I enjoy doing. I do enjoy being out in the world, and now that I don’t have as much pain, I can do that.”
