Burger Physical Therapy in Grass Valley is absolutely stellar. The best in the area by far, and I…read morehave been to many physical therapists over the years. This is the first place I can actually say that I leave feeling much better than I did when I walked in.
I have been an endurance athlete who really pushed, and messed up my body. Then I developed Psoriatic Arthritis (an autoimmune disease), and had also experienced several fractures over the years doing stupid things. I secretly thought I was the king of pain for a while, and that pain was just something I was going to have to live with. UC Davis did some wonderful procedures that helped with the pain, but still it persisted.
Until now. Frank is a professional to beat all professionals, in my book. He knows his stuff, and I know he does. I'm a former I.S.S.A. personal trainer, and licensed veterinary technician, as well as former mortician. My point with that mini resume is that with all those occupations, I had to study human anatomy, kinesiology, and biology and often I have known more about the human body than some of these so called pros in other physical therapy establishments. I know how to help myself, and what muscles, and processes are involved in my injuries in a lot of instances, but when I don't, Frank does!
I felt so good after a few sessions, that my goal of being able to be steady, and in shape enough to start working out again was met, and Frank said I was free to do so, but start out very slow. But I felt so good, I didn't follow his advice, and just started running after a decade of not. I ran five miles! Two days later I did it again! Next week, same deal. I ran 20 miles in two weeks after being sedentary from illness and injury for a decade! How cool is that? Except, the uncool part, is that I didn't follow Frank's advice, and did not start out slow -- I went from zero to sixty in a day-- so I developed shin splints. It was such a painful condition, it sent me to the E.R.
Three steps forward and two steps back. That's where I was. So back to Frank I go, and I was limping when I did. He performed some excellent manipulation, and did some myofascia releasing, massage, and kinetic tapping, and guidance in exercises to stabilize and improve mobility, and to ease pain. This morning I limped into the office, and today I walked out like a healthy 25 year old. (I'm 59).
I am incredibly happy with the results. Frank rocks like no physical therapist has rocked before. I cannot recommend this physicality, and especially the work of Frank, enough. You owe it to yourself or loved one to get the very best, and the very best is Frank at Burger Physical Therapy.
