Dr.

I had such a great experience working with Dr. McKenzie. I was prescribed PT for what I thought was an orthopedic issue with my knee. I had very little stability in my right knee and could not go up/down stairs at home (or anywhere) without holding onto the hand railing. My knee would sometimes give out while walking on the beach. I was extremely limited on leg exercises in the gym. I was struggling on the breach volleyball court and was wearing a double knee brace. Thanks to Dr. McKenzie, we discovered what I was actually dealing with was a two year old overlooked quad injury, which has wreaked havoc on my mobility/stability ever since. After a few months of weekly PT visits, I am back at 100%. My knee/leg hasn’t felt this stable in two years! I can run up and down the stairs again, I am back to doing my usual leg exercises in the gym, and I haven’t worn a knee brace in several weeks while playing beach volleyball. I am even back to jogging, which I thought was over for me, because of my “knee”. I am so glad a friend referred me here and am happy to share my experience. The staff are very knowledgeable and offer real solutions. Thank you all so much for the wonderful experience!

My physical therapist was Rachel. I started seeing her for tension headaches. While I was still going to her for those, I ended up falling from the stairs at my apartment. The fall resulted in a SLAP tear in my right shoulder. If it wasn't for Rachel, I'd never have regained full mobility in that shoulder, I'm sure of it. The shoulder works a little differently now, but there is zero pain. Occasionally I'll have a spasm in some muscle around that shoulder, but I just do some of the shoulder stability drills Rachel showed me and it settles right down. The effectiveness of the exercises at solving my shoulder pain and my tension headaches inspired me to start going to the gym. I've lost 44 pounds and gotten rid of my back pain. I saw some of the other physical therapists there, and have even been to the Pembroke location, and Direct Performance seems really good at choosing great physical therapists who are knowledgeable and friendly.

So grateful for Direct performance and experienced professionals, Stephen and Daniel following my second knee replacement by Dr. Manish Patel. There are so many little questions and worries following a knee replacement and Stephen and Daniel were always there to help address my concerns. Their manipulations every few days provided a measure of relief from the swelling and the stiffness, and the exercise movements we did together gradually restored my flexibility. They were always kind, patient, knowledgeable, professional, and fun! I will continue to recommend them to others who are interested in a Jiffy knee replacement!
