Here’s what our clients have to say:
“After becoming very frustrated with fluctuating nerve pain going from my hip into my leg that limited my ability to exercise, Dr. Kerry McCarthy … made me feel more positive and confident in my recovery. By going through simple, everyday exercises with her, I was able to see that I could rise above my injury. After a subsequent visit two months later, there was remarkable improvement in range of motion and performance. I would recommend [Dr. McCarthy] to anyone looking for positive, supportive, and practical physical therapy.”
“After years of repeated running injuries and ineffective PT, my sports medicine doctor referred me to Kerry McCarthy. Kerry treated me holistically, which meant long and very helpful discussions of my history of injuries and pain as well as a new plan for building more strength to support running and prevent injuries. After about six months of intense weight lifting under Kerry's excellent care and guidance, I am running again without injuries. She is an excellent listener and extremely supportive and encouraging. Kerry's core belief about building strength and staying active even during flare-ups has been a life changer for me.”
This article is the first of several in the Strengthening for Pain and Performance series. My aim with this series of articles is to break down why strengthening is such a potent treatment for pain, how it can help prevent injuries, how to use it to improve performance for endurance sports (or any sport for that matter), and the myriad of health benefits it imparts to people at any age.
