I live 2 hours away and drive 3 times a month and pay out of pocket for treatment because it’s 100% worth it!
I was referred to Linda at Pathways Physical Therapy by Dr. Simin Faghih- Nakhjiri of South Sound Oral Medicine. I went in having jaw pain thinking it was TMJ but during my consultation Dr. Faghih- Nakhjiri I explained what was going in with my jaw and explained other issues I was having. The main one being that since I was 19 (I’m 26 now) every time I went running I would get this terrible pain in my right side. This pain made it so that I had to quit running due to intolerable pain and it also affected me when hiking and skiing. I like to live a active life and this pain has held me back for 7 years of my life and to say it has frustrating would be a nice way to put it.
Linda’s hands on treatment approach is not like any other physical therapist’s treatment that I’ve experienced. Before Linda I had seen 6 different physical therapists for my pain in my side when running and not one of them was able to help me! She uses methods that I’ve never had used on me by another physical therapists. She’s great at listening to what you have to say and what’s going on with your body. You will defiantly notice a positive difference with whatever issue your having with your body after just one treatment.
Since seeing Linda the pain in my side when I run along with other chronic pain issues and inflammation has been going away. The longest time I had been able to run since before Linda was about 22 minutes which was a one time thing usually only about 15 minutes before I had to quit due to pain! I currently am consistently running 29 minutes 4 times a week and adding 1 lap every week and could run longer but am slowly building my stamina and not over do it!
Like I said Lind’s methods are different from the 6 physical therapists who had worked on me for the same problem. She understands how the human body works better than anyone who has worked on me I have learned a lot about how the body works since seeing her. Between the treatments and her exercises my results speak for themselves. My body has slowly been balancing itself out and every day I feel stronger and better and moving towards a pain free life.
I live 2 hours away and drive 3 times a month and pay out of the pocket for treatment because its 100% worth it! For the first time in 7 years I see the light at the end of the tunnel to living a pain free life. I live a very active lifestyle and the problems I have with my body have held me back from living the life I want to live. I’m not through with my treatment yet but I will continue to see Linda until I can run pain free because the drive and paying out of the pocket is 100% worth it. If your someone who is having chronic pain issues or old injuries and you’ve tried other treatment and nothing has helped you must give Linda at Pathways Physical therapy a shot seeing her is a investment in your body and living a healthy life!
