Andy was very helpful when I injured my knee. His background in having participated in competitive sports as well as his working with elite athletes provided a perspective more than just a physical therapist. He knew how much I wanted to get back into the game but made it easy to understand the long term versus the short term goals. He knew when to push me and he knew when I should rest. Andy always talked to me about how I was feeling but he also used assessments to make sure my knee was ready to play again. Andy was wonderful.
 
Thank You!

Andy,
 We appreciate your help with Haley over the past few weeks.  Haley did play in the game tonight thanks largely to your working with her.  Ironically, they played the same team that she had played when she was injured trying to score off of a corner kick.  Fortunately, tonight the same opportunity arose and the coach sent Haley back into the mixer.  I think the coach understands how athletes perform and it was sort of a test early in the game.  It was pretty strange because it was the same defender marking her and she was in almost the exact same position.  This time Haley cut around the defender and volleyed the corner kick into the net.  It was great to see that she was not hesitant in going for the ball, even though the goal was almost an instant replay of the play in which she was injured.  She did use the brace, which may have slowed her down a little bit, but she was determined not to get beat and the final score was 2-0.  The coach played her about 12 minutes in the first half and 15 in the second half, instead of her usual 70 minutes per game, but she did not show any signs of the injury.  He did indicate that her conditioning had dropped a little bit and so he wanted her to start a conditioning program, which she is starting with Chris and Stacie.  We appreciate not only you working with her physically, but understanding the emotional piece that Haley needed to feel comfortable to perform.  We will be setting up the plyometric sessions with you, but just wanted to keep you updated.
 
Thanks again for all of your work.
