You're as Flexible as a Tree (POM 6/13)

Patient of the Month: June 2013

Meet Steve....

Not only is Steve our Patient of the Month, but he is also the person we've seen make the most changes toward better health and wellness. Since starting therapy he has purchased a bike (and more importantly a helmet), participated in his first road race, started eating breakfast, and focused on better nutrition.

We are still working on better sleeping habits, but how can Steve rest when he is busy changing the world. He has committed his life to enriching the lives of students and inner city youth, and want to take a minute to honor that amazing work as well.

At this rate, we can hardly wait to see what happens next. Steve, we know your future is bright!!

In his own words....

Occupation: Education

Injury: Hamstrings

Three words to describe me: Ambitious, Gregarious, Dedicated

What brought you to PT? I started going to PT as a preventative measure due to tightness in my hamstrings.

How have you benefitted from your PT experience (physically or mentally)? I have benefited from my PT sessions in different aspects: my hamstrings are stronger and have more range of motion. Also, I have a more confident attitude towards my workouts.

What would you recommend to someone who has the same injury as you? Strongly advise them to reach out to Iron PT and follow the doctor’s orders. You will see immediate improvement and restoration of physical function and fitness level.

Any new goals now that you are feeling better? I look forward to playing soccer on a regular again. My new goal is to sign up for a mud run later this year.
