IT Band Physical Therapy

IT Band Physical Therapy
Long-Term Effective IT Band Pain Relief

The ortho recommended surgery on my knee and instead I hoped I could avoid surgery with PT. Now I’m back to running without pain and I am amazed by my recovery. I have Sabrina and her commitment to my treatment and progress to thank for that.

After a few weeks of doing the exercises and up to not I have not experienced knee pain and have been able to slowly increase activity. I hope to continue on this path and will be forever grateful for Jason and the advice and guidance provided. Also, Nikki was very helpful not only in clinic but in figuring out my insurance situation, as I know nothing of that world. It was a great experience and I am so thankful for my knee to not be hurting.

After a handful of months trying to deal with an IT band injury on my own and not getting any healthier I decided physical therapy was the answer. … I’m so glad I did- within one session I was not only given the tools to heal myself on my own, but was also treated by Therapydia’s wonderful staff.
