From an Astute Shoulder and Knee Patient: Kudos, Alpine PT!

I just wanted to drop you a line with a sincere “Thank You”.  This past Saturday I played in a volleyball tourney and it went very well. It turned into a long day as we made it to the final, but things held up very well.  The shoulder in particular really felt strong with the serves and some hitting, In fact, I didn’t feel I was missing anything at all.

I wish the soccer match wasn’t 48 hours after the volleyball tourney, but nonetheless other than not having touched a soccer ball for eight months, and being out of soccer shape, the knee did very well.  I fell once or twice on the inside of it which stung just a little, but I had no lingering issues today.

Over the past seven months or so, I oversee the winter/spring volleyball league, and as I sat and watched I started to think that at 42 and coming off two surgeries, I might never play at the level I wanted to again.  I always knew I would do everything to get there, but maybe it would not be enough.  Just to go out and to be able to compete in a couple of sports I love over the past few days filled that competitive void I have been feeling for quite some time.

That said, now I know I will get back.  I am not quite there yet, but the road now involves strength and fitness.  I would not be where I am currently without your expertise, motivation, and assistance over the past seven months.  Many people have a career and are good at what they do.   It is rare these days (at least in my experience) to find people who are great at what they do for a live, people who goes the extra mile, and view a client in a personal light rather than just another apppointment.  You guys are great at what you do and I thank you for that!

Thanks for getting me to within viewing distance of the top of the mountain.  I know now I can complete the rest of the journey after getting your help to climb so far.

Thank you!
