I was born with funky legs. From the time I was a kid until I was a 27-year-old adult, I suffered from my patellas (knee caps) dislocating constantly. This caused a whole plethora of problems, ranging from damage inside the knee joint to back injuries due to the falls I would take when my knee would spontaneously protrude from the side of my leg. I underwent surgery about 10 years ago and had both of my legs realigned. It has been a incredible journey since then. I went from not being able to do a lot of things physically to being able to triumph over my funky legs and become a avid runner and climber.

Every time I came in to PT Elite, Jess and Jen would renew my hope. I think every time I came in, I would ask them if I would be able to race. They didn’t give a default “yes,” but they gave me an honest answer with reassurance that we would keep working. Jess always could tell what tissues were bothering me, even when I didn’t bring them up, and Jen always knew what areas needed strengthening, since she had personally been through the same obstacles.
