When back pain hits, it can be very hard to think of what to do first. All of my Physical Therapy patients display the same feelings of shock, confusion, and depression over not being able to do the things that they were normally accustomed to doing.
For Jaimele, that was playing football. As a competitive weekend warrior athlete, his participation in his football league was interrupted by severe back pain due to a fall. But after going through my 3 Phases of Healing process step by step, he experienced a tremendous recovery with Physical Therapy. I’m so happy that he’s now able to get back to playing football!
“I came to physical therapy because I injured my back at work by falling down a staircase. My condition affected my daily life activities because I wasn’t able to work and play football.
It was a moment where I thought football was over for me due to the pain I was having and the seriousness of my injury. It was difficult for me to sit, drive, and sometimes walk.
I came to Complete Physical rehabilitation and (now) I am able to do all the things that I couldn’t, all without pain.
My daily life is 100% better than it was during the injury. They really helped me out. The staff is awesome and they answered every question I had. I appreciate everything and I want to say thank you so much!!”
