“In the spring of 2020, I received a grim diagnosis about my knee. I started to have knee pain and discomfort and my range of motion was decreasing as well as pain going up and down the stairs. I went to see a knee specialist/surgeon who told me that my knee is in a bad shape and my only options are anti-inflammatory pills now and double knee replacement in 10 years.
This was devastating to a mother of three children who also liked to hike, bike, and cook for family and friends. I started to withdraw from the things I love and felt worried about my family.
I began to look for help and explore the option of Physical Therapy. I was very fortunate to find Empowered PT and to work with Bishoy. He spent a lot of time listening to me and understanding what the issue was. He reassured me that with the right exercises and movements, I was going to get better. We started small with exercises I was comfortable with then we progressed overtime. I started to feel better and was encouraged to do more exercise at home.
After few months of working with Empowered PT and at home, I am now able to do so much more. My pain and discomfort have subsided. My range of motion is almost back to normal. I can go up and down the stairs without thinking, I can plan activities with my kids and I can cook and host dinners, as I always loved to do. My knee is no longer holding me back.
At Empowered PT, you will learn that your greatest asset and best healing tool is your OWN BODY. They are very knowledgeable and professional. I am forever grateful for what they have done for me.
