I am so happy that I started to work with Justin at Thompson Physical Therapy. I went into his office feeling discouraged, in pain and unsure when I could return to running. Having qualified for the 2020 Boston marathon, I had doubts I'd be able to train for it.
I left my first appointment feeling encouraged and empowered. Justin was able to diagnose my injury quickly, come up with a treatment plan and estimated I would be back to running in just a few weeks! To be honest I had my doubts when he said, "a few weeks". But trust him. He knows what he is doing!
During our first few sessions, Justin did manual therapy on my ankle and was able to increase my dorsiflexion angle from 11 to 20. He also massaged the problem tendon area which gave me pain relief right away. Justin provided me with stretches/strengthening to do at home and a return to running plan. I followed everything as instructed, and just as he promised, in just a few weeks I have returned to running....Pain-free!
I can't recommend Justin enough. I'd also like to add that Justin has a running & soccer background and understands exercise-induced injuries very well. Thank you so much, Justin! read more
