“For the last two years I have been battling what I thought was severe Sciatica, which first presented itself one morning when I literally woke up and could hardly make it to the bathroom. I had been feeling some discomfort when I was running, but this was different; it was paralyzing. The pain ran all the way down my lower back to my toes and it was excruciating. I went straight to my primary care doctor for relief to just get through the day and that began my two-year journey for a more permanent solution.
At first, I tried just resting it to see if I could rebound, but that didn’t work. The minute I started running again, it came back so badly that I couldn’t even make it through my run. Dr. Baxley recommended that I try another form of exercise, so I switched temporarily to biking and while that was better, I still felt the pain, especially when I went up and down the stairs. After trying a chiropractic doctor in vain, Dr. Baxley recommended that I see physical therapist, Ron Miller. He said that he, too, had battled something similar and that Ron had managed to help him.

From the minute I met with Ron, I just felt like he was going to get to the bottom of my issue. He is an incredible listener and he asked a lot of questions regarding my symptoms, trying to get at the bottom of my issue. With each exercise, he tried to pinpoint the exact location of the pain to figure out the root cause and at around 6 weeks into therapy, he hit upon my problem: Proximal Hamstring syndrome. From there, it only took 2 or 3 more visits and I was home free. He prescribed a few additional exercises, which I had to commit to doing the exercises religiously, but once I did, I saw immediate results.
This first time I ran on the treadmill, after recovery, I got off the equipment and cried, not in pain, but in joy. I didn’t realize how much I had missed running until I could finally run again, pain free. I would highly recommend Ron. He is a caring, talented, gifted therapist who changed my life for the better. And he is now also a cherished friend. ”

“In March 2019 after an obstacle course race I felt a familiar pain in my hip area- thinking I pulled my hip flexor… again. After over a month of stretching, icing, heating pads; ibuprofen, and NOT RUNNING (insert sad face) I still could not walk without limping and getting up from a sitting position was pretty painful. I found out about Pursuit on Facebook and after all the incredible testimonials about how much Katie had helped other runners, I decided to come in for a consultation. Katie listened to me and asked plenty of questions to make the most educated decision. She also told me it was NOT my hip flexor but turned out to be a hip and spine issue- most likely caused by a change in jobs where I was sitting at a desk more and NOT caused by my running. After my first session I felt completely different and was actually walking without limping. Katie gave me exercises to do at home to help and practices for work to help my hip and spine stay aligned. Within three sessions I was back to walking and getting up with NO pain and able to run again. I came back for some follow-up and any time I had questions; Katie answered them. I now know more about my body and what I need to do as a runner to keep myself from injury. Thank you, Katie, for giving me the tools to be able to run again!!”

“I started having mild/moderate chronic pain in my hip. It was relieved with massage therapy, but only temporarily so I knew that I needed specific treatment. Pursuit Therapy was recommended by my long time massage therapist. I was impressed with Ron’s experience and professionalism at my first visit. He thoroughly assessed my condition and did not think that I needed x-rays, which saved me some expense. I started my home program and biweekly visits. I had immediate relief and increased range of motion in about 5 visits. Our goal was to resolve the pain before going on a 3 week trip to Europe requiring a lot of walking. I just returned and was completely pain free throughout the trip. In fact my friends couldn’t keep up with me! If you are having any pain issues, I highly recommend Pursuit Therapy. There’s no reason to wait! .”
