I had a severe knee injury 10 months ago resulting in tears in 3 spots of the miniscus. I had a surgery 4 years ago on that knee and my orthopaedic scheduled a new surgery with no guarantee of a full post-surgery recovery. A second opinion from another orthopaedic confirmed the need for surgery but recommended to try physical therapy first for 2 months. He referred me to the Sports Center and I went there. The initial diagnostic test by the therapy specialist revealed a terrible shape of my knee. I was feeling pain with almost every move involving my knee. He set up a recovery plan and we started executing it right away: half a dozen supervised exercises at the Center and a couple others on my own at home. At the end of the first week I could tell that things were turning around. Progress continued gradually and steadily for the following 3 months until I graduated. I am now enrolled in a gym and I am doing all types of exercises 4 days a week. Surgery? No longer needed. Knee pain? That's history since the time I graduated from Sports Center. Still, what gives Sports Center its highest marks is the oustanding friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to help of its staff.
