I
cycled
through
pain
for
two
years
with
a
strained
medial
head
of
my
gastrocnemius.
My
PCP
recommended
physical
therapy.
I
went
to
a
"popular"
office
which
ended
up
re-injuring
me.
After
consulting
an
orthopedic
surgeon
at
Tucson
Orthopedic,
he
specifically
advised
me
to
go
to
APM.
On
my
first
evaluation,
Blake
recommended
starting
with
a
therapeutic
dry-needling
application.
Having
had
good
experiences
with
acupuncture,
I
agreed.
For
the
first
time
in
two
years,
my
entire
calf
muscle
system
relaxed.
Prior,
it
always
felt
like
it
was
on
the
verge
of
going
into
contraction
and
locking
up.
Blake
continued
my
therapy
with
e-centric
exercises
targeting
my
gastrocnemius
and
the
medial
head.
After
the
first
week
of
therapy,
the
difference
was
like
night
and
day.
My
calf
musculature
was
strengthening
and
I
was
beginning
to
rebuild
my
confidence
in
a
complete
recovery.
Now,
nine
weeks
later,
the
pain
has
completely
subsided
and
I'm
back
to
jogging
ten
minutes
on
the
treadmill,
pain-free
(next
week,
fifteen
minutes!).
If
you
have
a
serious
physical
condition
and
want
serious
physical
therapy,
this
is
the
ONLY
place
to
go.
Don't
waste
your
time
and
money
on
another
place
that
just
gives
you
exercises
to
do.
APM
is
the
most
knowledgeable,
experienced,
and
committed
physical
therapy
shop
in
Tucson,
but
don't
just
take
my
word
for
it,
take
a
look
at
the
"thank-you"
photos
and
jerseys
of
professional
athletes
around
the
shop
who
have
also
been
clients.
If
that
doesn't
convince
you
that
you're
in
the
best
of
hands,
I
don't
know
what
will.
