My right knee was replaced in 2006. My left knee was replaced in 2012. My right knee could only be bent at 600 due to adhesions. After 6 or 7 years with not being able to fully bend, I started to have back pain along with a loss of tightness in my right hamstring. Working with Karen was great! She gave me stretching exercises for my back and hamstring. Within a month of working with her and doing the exercises, I have significantly increased my mobility both in normal circumstances and in playing golf! I know it’s a long process that I will continue to have to do. However, I already feel better, walk taller, and am generally pain free. I appreciate all of the instruction and positive reinforcement. Thanks to all at Peak Performance (especially Karen) for caring so much and making a difference! William “Bill” Radford -
I have had the pleasure to experience my second tour with Peak Performance, and working with Andrew. He was simply outstanding in working with me, and developing a personal plan for my recovery from knee replacement surgery with the goal of getting back to tennis. As an added plus, Margaret, an intern from Daemen College, teamed with Andrew to help me in my quick recovery. Back on the courts and very happy, thanks to Andrew and Margaret! ~ Duncan Ververs May 8, 2019

I am 71 and still run. For the last year, during races and training runs, especially long ones, I was having knee pain around mile 7. As the race progressed, I eventually had to drop back to walking. I ran through 2 halves and a full marathon with that. My chiropractor finally determined it was IT band issues and recommended Peak Performance. I started working with Andrew and Margaret at the beginning of March, doing stretches and strengthening exercises. They gradually increased the variety of both and finally added weights to the strength exercises. Andrew was especially helpful because he is also a runner and understood my issues. He examined my shoes and inserts and put inserts under both feet. My first race since seeing Andrew was in early April: a 10-mile race in Washington, D.C. I ran my strongest race in more than a year! I had no IT band issues and no knee pain. I cannot say enough about the support and knowledge that Andrew and Margaret gave me! I will be training for another marathon this fall and the exercises they designed for me are now an integral part of my training and workouts. ~ Kathleen Fuller May 8, 2019
