Meet Donnell, after a low back injury on June 1 of this year sidelined him from his gym routine he sought the help of Progressive Sports Rehab. In the gym Donnell was bench pressing 450 pounds, however he could not stop the shooting pain down both his legs that kept him from his everday activities and gym program. He was diagnosed with a disc herniation and prescribed physical therapy. After both pain meds and anti-inflammatories failed he is now 75% better with physical therapy. The key has been progressive strength exercises and a core strength program. Donnell has progressed well and we look forward to his return to daily living without pain. Good luck Donnell!

A knee after surgery is vulnerable afterwards to unstable walking and awkward weight-bearing. After surgery it takes just 5 cc of fluid to shut off the powerful quad muscle at the knee. When the quadricep is weak, this leaves the knee unstable. When a knee is vulnerable and unstable walking on uneven surfaces such as sand on the beach can leave the knee open to acute bouts of swelling and pain. The professionals at Progressive Sports Rehab can tell when a knee is ready for such feats as walking on the beach on up to beach volley-ball. Stay safe this summer and more important injury free–Have Fun!!
