RUNNING INJURIES

“Cathy Yi at Pursuit Physical Therapy is the best therapist in the Orlando area and unmatched in expertise and experience in the field of physical therapy. I suffered from anterior hip pain for over 4 months and couldn’t run for more than 1-2 miles at a time without limited range of motion and exacerbated symptoms. When I made my initial visit to Pursuit Physical Therapy, Cathy spent ample time evaluating my symptoms through a multitude of movement assessments to reach the heart of the underlying problem. I suffered from Acetabular Impingement Syndrome (AIS), a common injury among runners who have a weak posterior chain. After just ONE session with Cathy following the evaluation, she was able to completely restore my range of motion using manual therapy and cupping techniques to relieve my painful symptoms that were keeping me from training for 4 months. I did not hesitate to sign up for a package, so I could continue to strengthen my muscles and retrain my body to run with proper mechanics. I am happy to say that I have now been running pain free for over 6 months since my initial visit with Cathy, and continue to progress my exercise regimen with her guidance! Moreover, I am back to competing in local road races around Florida and logging 50-65 miles a week without any issues. As someone who strongly advocates for the profession of Physical Therapy and is currently pursuing a degree in the field, I can honestly say Cathy is best. She poured everything into my recovery, and truly had my best interest at heart through the rehab experience. Her passion shines through her work, and I recommend her and Pursuit Physical Therapy to the highest degree to anyone suffering from musculoskeletal pain.”

“I have had running pain in my knee since a race I ran back in March. I would quit running for weeks at a time, but it would come back every time I began running again. After about 4 months of on and off again running, I decided to search for physical therapy and found Pursuit Physical Therapy through a google search. I decided to give it a try but had little faith it would work. After a thorough evaluation, Ron knew what was wrong and did some therapy on me that I could not do on my own as well as given me some take-home exercises to do before our next appointment. I will admit I was skeptical at first. After going so many months with rest and still feeling pain, I did not believe he would be able to fix the problem so quickly. Boy was I wrong! I noticed results instantly after the first session. I went from severe pain to minor pain. I continued seeing him for two more sessions. I recently ran 12 miles with zero pain and currently only get minor pain during some speed workouts. I trust that after continuing my strength training, I will be 100% pain free in no time. If you are experiencing any sort of pain and fear therapy will take advantage, trust me when I say this place will not. I highly recommend going here. Ron truly cares about each one of his clients and makes sure they are getting better after each session. He will adjust any therapy needed if he is not seeing results he wants to see. This place is legit and is not in it just to make a quick buck. Give them a try and you won’t regret it!”

“It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Dr. Ron Miller as your next Physical Therapist! I am 42 years old, a mom of 2, and running enthusiast. I have had a plethora of running injuries and have been to just about every “big” orthopedic and physical therapy group in Orlando. I have suffered for years with plantar fasciitis in both feet, hip problems, a chronic hamstring strain and, most recently, pain in my Achilles. I have done and tried everything…from ordering supplements online, spending countless hours searching for solutions on the internet, spending money on shoes, inserts, massage equipment, and even a personal ultrasound wand. Just when I was about to give up the activity I love the most, Dr. Miller was recommended to me by two individuals I highly respect; one a personal trainer in the Orlando area, and the other a physical therapy student. What makes Dr. Miller’s approach different is his ability to highly personalize a treatment plan. I was so tired of being just a “body” going through the system; each approach to injuries the same. The focus was always on getting over the injury…but never permanently assessing what caused the injury in the first place, and fixing that. I was tired of medical personnel telling me to “just swim!” or worse… stop running forever. Dr. Miller believed in me, and in my ability to begin running again pain free. He is thorough, thoughtful, intelligent, and capable. He is constantly checking in with me via email and text to make sure I am following our plan, and feeling good. We have been working together for about 2 months, and I see so much improvement! Although my recovery isn’t totally complete, I can honestly say this is the best I have felt in years. Let me repeat that…years. I am able to run short distances pain free! An incredible victory! I know that as I continue to get stronger and add mileage, Dr. Miller will be cheering me on; that kind of care and encouragement is unique to him, and hard to find. I am so grateful I did!”
