When I started at Renewal Rehabilitation in mid-March of this year, I was mentally, emotionally, and physically broken. I’d just re-injured my left knee again (after three ACL and lateral meniscus tears) and was going through the process of possibly receiving knee surgery number four. 

I could barely walk on day one of PT and the pain/swelling was an 8 out of 10. But, little did I know, the staff was going to do everything in their power to rebuild the strength and stability in my knees with the hope of avoiding surgery all together (and it worked!). Not only did I not need another knee surgery, but Mike and his staff made it their top priority to rebuild my knees after an entire decade of failed surgeries. 

It’s been just under three months since I’ve started with Renewal and I’m doing things that I honestly never thought I’d be able to do again (running with resistance, squatting with no pain and weights, etc.). My strength and agility is increasing daily and for the first time since I was 15 (yes, this has been a 12 year journey) my lower body is actually starting to feel strong enough to be fully active again. 

In all honesty, I never thought I’d ever be able to run again. I would have discussions with my family expressing how I’d never be able to run and play with my unborn children (whenever that day comes). Now running isn’t just a thought, but an actual possibility. I’m so grateful for Renewal and their AMAZING staff (phenomenal customer service, too). If it wasn’t for this facility, there is no way I’d be at the level I am now. Thank you bunches!
