A couple of months ago I trashed both my elbows doing a marathon of intensive yard work without any power tools. I had fairly severe tennis elbow on my left side and moderate tennis elbow on the right. And I am a massage therapist, so this was definitely not okay, shutdown or no shutdown.
Initially I called around a few local places but they were all closed. That was discouraging; a few weeks later I talked about it with my PCP and she told me some PTs were working on Zoom. She recommended Hana Lima.
They got back to me fairly promptly, and early the next week I had my first tele-health PT session with Isidro. I found him to be very friendly and personable, patient with my questions, and he exuded an optimism that I liked.
He also was thinking ahead of where I was. (I am not only a massage therapist but an anatomy teacher and I thought I had this thing mostly figured out already). His approach was different from my one other time doing PT, where they just analyzed my movements and assigned a bunch of exercises. He taught me how to use my healthier movements to retrain my less healthy ones. Over the course of about five sessions, I noticed a good deal of improvement in my elbows and also in an unrelated issue with my foot. I loved his holistic, all of the body approach. It works. I could see the results during our sessions.
I would recommend Hana Lima, and in particular Isidro, if you need physical therapy. I am grateful for their work. read more
