I initially injured my knee a few years ago and never sought treatment. After starting to be more active and working out regularly, the pain was intense to the point normal walking was very uncomfortable and I could not work out like I wanted to. I finally sought out treatment and was fairly discouraged after my MRI that there was not a more specific diagnosis. I was referred to Peak Performance and was extremely skeptical that PT would help my situation. My mind was instantly changed after my first visit when Andrew was able to determine that my knee pain was related to my IT band. I finally saw light at the end of the tunnel after receiving his diagnosis! After working the program Andrew gave me, I am now able to perform normal daily activities virtually pain free, and am regularly working out 4 to 5 times a week. I have my occasional flare-up, but now feel I have the tools to know how to alleviate the pain. Thank you, Andrew! Sarah Rosenberg -
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
