Client Background: A 35-year-old experienced marathon runner suffered a debilitating knee injury during training. Doctors recommended extensive physical therapy as an alternative to surgery.
Challenge: The injury caused severe pain, limited mobility, and significant muscle loss, jeopardizing the client’s ability to run.
Solution: We designed a 12-month rehabilitation plan that included manual therapy, progressive strength training, and gait analysis to correct running mechanics. Sessions were tailored weekly, incorporating flexibility exercises and cross-training.
Result: The client not only regained full knee function but also completed a marathon within 12 months, setting a personal best time.
