Client Stories | Danang Physical Therapy

Steffen

Two years of knee pain. Squatting pain-free within a week.

Steffen had two years of nagging knee pain, worst on the right, and an MRI that came back normal. Several therapists had not helped. On a single-leg squat his knees shot forward and caved in, and tests showed stiff hip muscles that had lost a lot of range. We freed up his hips and re-taught his squat so the hips took the load again.

Knee

Richard Hemsley

Knee arthritis, and moving under load with far less pain.

Richard came in with knee osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid injections and therapy had helped manage his symptoms, but they had not changed how his knee handled load. Long-standing joint pain can turn down the muscles that support the knee. We could not reverse the arthritis, so we got those muscles working again, improved his control and cleaned up his squat, spreading the load more evenly.

Neck and shoulder

Ngọc Anh

Incline pressing again, without the burning traps.

He told me: “My upper traps burn after sitting all day... and it flares hard on incline dumbbell press.” His neck turned freely, so the neck itself was not the problem. Hours of holding his shoulders up had left the traps overworked. We switched on his rotator cuff and chest with band work before pressing, set his shoulder blades and stopped the shrug-press. The trap tension was gone from his press.

Real cases, real progress
