My experience with Positive Energy has been incredibly good. They’re professional in every respect and the therapists are approachable and yet experienced. Almost all of my time was spent with Jay Kim, who’s unbelievably knowledgable but also a wonderful diagnostician. The office staff are terrific too and a very good first face for everyone who’s lucky enough to be given an appointment.

Positive Energy PT is fantastic! Everyone there is very friendly and seem to enjoy what they do! Alyssa and Adriane in the front office work with my schedule to find convenient appointment times and Alex, my Physical Therapist, is a true Wonder Woman! She is very caring and knowledgeable and really hits the spots where I need it most! After just the 1st session my range of motion improved dramatically! Thanks Alex! 👏😊🤩

I am so pleased to have found Positive Energy. I went first to recuperate after back surgery and then a second time on my own for some shoulder issues. Jay, my primary therapist, is superb--knowledgeable, great style, just a great guy. The entire team is fantastic...from Alyssa in the front to everyone on site. I cannot recomment Positive Energy more highly!

I can’t say enough good things about Positive Energy. They worked with me every step after I had an achilles injury. Sean is fantastic. He really takes his time to understand injuries and needs and how to get you on the road to recovery. I know I have a place to turn to for any future physical therapy needs!

Sean and the team at Positive Energy are fantastic. My son was recovering from a shoulder injury, and Sean was awesome. He is very thorough, helping my son understand his shoulder joint and what exercises help strengthen and what things to avoid, so he can get back to surfing. The intake process was seamless with Alyssa! Appreciate the team at Positive Energy. :)

I have been going to Positive Energy PT for over 10 years now! I mainly have worked with Sean and he has been phenomenal and has fixed every issue I have gotten from torn labrum to achilles tendonitis. Being a collegiate athlete I cant afford to take days off and Sean is my go to guy to make sure I am healthy year round!

After a total (R) knee replacement, a friend recommended Positive Energy Physical Therapist Sean Ryan. I am so grateful for that advice. Sean, Alyssa and Adrianne were very understanding and worked with me as far as insurance hurdles and scheduling of appointments.Sean is very knowledgeable and works with patients one on one. He devotes his full attention to your rehabilitation goals. My goal was to be physically ready to surf in Nicaragua 3 months post knee surgery. Seans workouts and encouragement gave me the strength and confidence needed to make that goal a reality. When I returned from my trip to finish up my allocated amount of therapy sessions, Seans attention to detail led him to discover a slight gait in my walk he noticed using his multi camera treadmill video tool (it takes simultaneous videos from three different angles).The facility is never crowded, super clean and everyone on the staff is very friendly and had a smile for me every time I went in for therapy.Positive energy is all I experienced, the name fits!Thanks Sean!!Attached photos are of me surfing at exactly 3 months post op.

My PCP recommended Positive Energy PT. Jay was my therapist and after watching me do some basic movements for 5 minutes, Jay came up with a program that has changed my life. I had been living with chronic back pain on and off for twenty years and saw a handful of doctors. No one was ever able to find the cause of my pain, but Jay taught me to strengthen and treat spots that were problematic. Thanks to Jay I am swimming, running, and walking without any pain. He also helped me improve my Olympic lifting form, which has helped me improve my strength and efficiency in the gym. I cannot recommend this clinic enough. In addition to the therapists, the front desk is also helpful and responsive!

Sean Ryan and Positive Energy are excellent. Sean spent time to really listen to me about my back issue He came up with a thoughtful plan to turn the tide and help me understand how to keep the issue from recurring. Highly recommend

Ive been going here for a bit over a month now. The staff are great. Quick and efficient at responding to and answering questions. My PT Alex is amazing. She is great at taking her to listen to me when I have questions or concerns. I definitely recommend.

My orthopedic doctor recommended Positive Energy for rehabbing the pain I was experiencing in my shoulder and neck. Samantha (Sam) Shook was my physical therapist and has a professional and friendly approach in dealing with her patients.What I appreciated most about Sams treatment process was her constant re-evaluation of my condition and listening to my thoughts on the progress from the assigned therapy regimen.As a result, my exercises were modified to the point where I am no longer experiencing pain in the troubled areas.I am proud to recommend Positive Energy and Sam to serve as your physical therapist.

I have 100% confidence in owner and physical therapist, Sean Ryan, to hasten my healing after a surgery or an injury. Three years ago, I worked with Sean after a tricky hip surgery….He literally got me up and running again. About three and a half months ago, I broke my shoulder. I couldn’t move my arm and I was scared but I had confidence Sean had the skill to accelerate my recovery—and that he did! I’m already traveling again and back at the gym. Sean is fun to be with, professional, and serious about getting you well. His Client Care Managers, Alyssa and Adriane, are awesome and have wonderful follow through. My only regret? I will miss the team now that I’m healed and back out in the world!

Jay is AMAZING. I was hurt in a car accident in May (knee, hips, back and neck) and wasnt able to start PT until August. Jay is very thorough; his treatment and exercises are very mindful of what the largest problem is and tackle that first. He checks in frequently during the session to be sure the exercises are feeling safe and like work, so as not to cause excess pain or re injury). During the process of attending to my car accident issues I pinched a nerve in my back. Jay switched our therapy plans to incorporate pain relief and healing. Every time I have an appointment I marvel at how much it helps me. Ive had PT before from broken bones and Jay is by far the most attentive and provides care that has noticable and lasting effects.Everyone I have interacted with for insurance, payment, scheduling, and being greeted have been so warm and friendly. The facility is clean and not crowded so I dont feel like I have to adjust my work for space reasons.

Sean Ryan is the absolute best physical therapist around. I have had some serious back issues over the years. Sean has me on a daily program of exercises at home. I do them religiously and they have changed my life. No more pain. I can golf and live a normal life thanks to Sean.

Sam was an excellent and thorough PT, she listened to my concerns and my program progressed each visit which I appreciated because I was very eager to return to running. After only 4-5 visits (and doing her exercise program at home a few times a week) I was running again without pain in my hamstring. The front desk staff was quick, efficient and I appreciated the reminder texts in case of cancellations so I was able to get in quicker to see Sam.

I am writing to recommend both Positive Energy as a physical therapy organization, and Matt Varca as a terrific physical therapist.There is, in fact, positive energy in the facility all around you when you are there (in the form of therapists and their patients working hard at recoveries) and it contributes to your own sense of recovering and working hard to achieve your rehab goals.Matt Varca is the therapist who guided me through my rehab from a knee replacement and he was nothing short of excellent.Each session he would assess my progress, discuss my evolving goals (as my knee got stronger and the scope of what I could achieve grew) and tailor exercises to keep me moving forward.Additionally, he always explained what each exercise was meant to achieve and, more importantly, the details of how the exercise should be performed.I am so pleased with the outcome of my recovery thanks to Positive Energy and Matt Varca.Kevin Ryan

I worked with Sean on my journey before and through a total hip replacement. He diagnosed quickly and accurately, listened and communicated very effectively, and adapted our plan as the situation warranted. I am 100% certain that my quality of life leading up to the surgery was vastly improved, and that working with him was integral to my recovery. I am a month shy of my 60th birthday, and in the last 4 days I have surfed 4 times and done a very rigorous circuit workout. Seans knowledge is unsurpassed, his desire to see his clients succeed is commendable, and he is also a super fun hang. Cant say enough good things about him.

Positive Energy is hands down the best physical therapy I have ever been too. As a former collegiate athlete and avid runner, I was really struggling with a knee injury that just wouldnt get better and I really was close to giving up hope. Working with Jay at PE, I saw progress within a couple weeks of going. Not only is my knee completely better and so much stronger after 2 months of consistent work, but I have also gained so much confidence with exercises I never used to do because I didnt know how to do them with proper form. I owe it all to him and cant thank him and the entire PE team enough! The entire staff really makes it feel like you are part of the family, such a good atmosphere. Brandi is the best at the front desk too, loved chatting with her before and after my appointments. Look no further then PE for your physical therapy.

Positive Energy is the perfect name for the professionalism, dedication, care and enthusiasm that each team member gives to their patient during PT. They truly care about the person and not just the process of getting you back to “normal”. In February 2019 I had a partial knee replacement, which typically has a two-year progressive recovery cycle. Even though I was a long-time runner and performed tons of leg work outs in preparation for the knee replacement – my overall leg strength, flexibility and balance were deeply impacted by the surgery (far more than I expected).While at Positive Energy Matt created unique PT training sessions to improve the strength and flexibility in my quad / hamstring and calf; and, regain my confidence that my knee could support my gym routine, and day-to-day activities (simple things like walking up/down stairs). The benefit to this PT approach was my knee was constantly challenged to heal and regain strength, while the stretching exercises improved flexibility and balance. I NEVER felt bored or like the PT sessions were a waste of time. Matt was terrific at listening to my needs and helping me work through my knee’s limitations. Further, Matt gave me “homework” assignments to do at the gym and home, so I could continue to progress.Thank you to Matt, Sean and Brandi for all their care and commitment to my health and well-being. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me regain my leg strength and balance. It is for this and so many other reasons that I strongly recommend Positive Energy.

I had an accident in August of 2022 in Europe with surgery there to repair a compound fracture of my dominant right wrist. I returned as soon as possible to California and my care was assumed by a hand surgeon in Los Angeles. I immediately began occupational therapy for my wrist, but as this progressed, my right arm and shoulder became increasingly painful. X-rays, an MRI, and a cortisone injection resulted in a prescription for physical therapy. Fortunately, Positive Energy Physical Therapy was on the list of recommendations from my doctor’s office. I was welcomed from the start, as the person who answered my call could not have been kinder or more professional. These being Covid times, I was impressed by the safety precautions in the physical environment. I began my therapy with some misgivings, given the uncertainty of outcome from surgery out of the country. Sean Ryan was my therapist. From the beginning, he seemed to sense my situation and gently explained how he was going to proceed, step by step. I shall never forget this reassurance and how he taught me to partner in the treatment by relaxation. His personality, professional expertise, and experience make him truly remarkable. Thus, began six months of a journey to recovering function in a friendly setting, a POSITIVE SETTING! Sean exemplifies positive energy and that is a bonus because it is contagious and the patient becomes positive….and the therapy is enhanced. I am doing well and shall be forever grateful to Sean and The Positive Physical Therapy experience! Marsha Hobel

Great place! I went in for plantar fascitis rehab and received a cupping treatment from physical therapist Jay Kim that helped immediately. He also gave me some great stretches and exercises to do at home that that have helped. Also, he evaluated my running gait and gave me some running drills to improve it and reduce the risk of future injury.

I was referred to Matt at Positive Energy after my bilateral hip replacement surgery. I had completed the insurance companys PT, which really wasnt sufficient to get me back to my yoga practice feeling strong in my newly expanded range of motion. Matt was SUPER knowledgeable and is one of the kindest human beings Ive ever met. He immediately made me feel confident and strong with my new hips. He educated me as well as giving me excellent exercises to use in my home rehab. I can not over-express my gratitude for Matt and his skills as a PT. If Im ever injured or recovering from surgery again - he is the FIRST person I will call

How do you describe the brilliance of the Owner Sean Ryan and staff at Positive Energy?! Raising 4 children who all participated in sports from a very young age and all unfortunately suffered injuries at one point or another, our family has been around the block with all types of doctors, physical therapists and chiropractors to bring our kids back to health and allow them enjoy their sport once again. What truly amazes us about Sean and staff is the OVER the top dedication and personal thrill they seem to have in FULLY understanding the clients injury and methodically putting that particular part of the body back together again. Its not just the injury they study but all parts of it AND the surrounding structure that gives strength and support to the injured area. It really is amazing everything they do to fully grasp the total picture and not just the localized issue. There is NO cookie cutter diagnosis or treatment plan that happens here!!! Sean and Positive Energys latest success story with our family was our youngest daughter, a soccer player, who got two totally different diagnosis from two different orthopedic doctors looking at the same X-ray and MRI and also of course, 2 different treatment plans. After 6 months of following one and then the others regiment of treatment, the problem still persisted. This is where Sean Ryan and Positive Energy saved the day. Three months after beginning treatment with Sean, our daughter was back on the soccer field doing what she loves to do w/ no pain and stronger than before. Sean & Staff - thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts for helping our youngest daughter get back to doing what she loves!!

I was lucky enough to work with Hilary on my knee issues when running. She was great! Very supportive and patient with all my questions, and was always responsive if I needed anything offline. She always brought a bright and positive attitude even during a tough year.I even got some help from Sean once who was also very knowledgeable. Brandi at the front desk was great with helping organize my sessions as well. Thanks to the entire team!

Ive been to dozens of highly regarded physical therapists, and after many years of theraputic experiences at Positive Energy, I can say for certain that theres no one I trust more with my total body restoration than Dr. Matt Varca.Im a challenging patient with many complex issues and Matt has always been ready to face my problems head-on, when other therapists have grown frustrated. His bedside manner is A+ and his therapeutic knowledge is cutting edge.If you get hurt (hopefully you dont) or even if your your chronic aches and pains are keeping you from living your best life or performing well at your sport, GO SEE MATT RIGHT NOW.Brandi at the front desk is also super sweet and keeps the show running!! 😍.Have a great day:)

I originally chose Positive Energy for my PT due to location (right down the street) after my ACL surgery ... and I am glad I did. Overall, it is a small yet effective location and everyone there is great. I got Matt as my therapist and couldnt be happier. He is an awesome therapist, extremely knowledgeable about the human body and very energetic. He knows literally hundreds and hundreds of different exercises and stretches that cover the entire body. We worked our way thru my post surgical knee with basic stretches and then worked up thru strengthening exercises and running. Anytime I had a problem or concern, he was very attentive and worked with me to fix it. I come away from each session felling stronger and better. I would recommend him (and Positive Energy) absolutely.

Positive Energy is definitely worth a great review. Therapists work one on one with patients the entire appointment, Ora and the front desk staff make every effort to acommodate appointment schedules. My 12 year old suffered major rotator cuff injury while swinging a bat. He had surgery to repair the torn tendon back in September of last year. Matt did an awesome job gradually adjusting the exercise program based on progress. After working with Matt for 3 short months, my son was able to go back to playing travel baseball and hitting harder than before. Id definitely recommend this place to any athlete willing to work hard to make a full recovery.

Positive Energy: Physical Therapy is amazing! I could write a novel about how they helped me & continue to support me. As former college athlete, I have spent a lot of time in training rooms rehabbing injuries. The best people are the ones that care. That is what Positive Energy does best. THEY CARE ABOUT YOU! Their entire team is awesome but Lenae Cain-Sexton is the absolute best. For the past few years, I bounced around doctors office and PT places working on chronic knee pain that prevented me from being active. Lenae analyzed my running & walking movements. She created a plan and encouraged me every step of the way. If I hit a roadblock then she found a way around it or a way through it. In the past year, I am back to running, playing Volleyball, running around when coaching youth lacrosse and surfing. I couldnt have done it without her help.

The staff here is very friendly. The physical therapist gives you undivided attention the entire 40-50 minute session. They allow me to come in 15 minutes before my session starts to warm up and use equipment, and they can write workouts for me if I want to stay late. All the therapists know every client, not just their own and its a warming feeling. My therapist even made me coffee one day. Ive been to 5 other physical therapy locations and none of them have been this loyal to my success as an athlete! Its a small venue but they make up for it in creativity! My therapist and I will be outside sometimes. They all love the South Bay, and if you do too I highly recommend this place!

After being diagnosed with grade 4 chondromalacia of my Left knee and painful crunching and caving in almost to a fall, I told Sean I wanted to get back on my dirt path and run. He very nicely said, Really? I have run for almost 50 years such that it became my joy. To not run I felt lost. We worked hard for almost 4 months building my body to tip, squish, and squeeze. My hips became the most important. Thanks to Sean I am back on my path, the asphalt along the beach, and on the grass. My joy is overflowing and I need to keep doing the training part to keep running. So much gratitude to Sean and Positive Energy.

Positive Energy PT has been very helpful in my recovery from both Lumbar surgery last Aug 2016, & Feb neck surgery. My PT Lindsey is very educated & knowledgeable on what correct exercises to strengthen & heal. I have been very happy with this place the cleanliness, and personable staff. I recommend this place for any PT needs. Xlnt place.

I first met Matt Varca from Positive Energy Physical Therapy while attending a conference on PRI for Fitness and Movement. PRI (Postural Restoration Institute) techniques have worked well for me in my efforts to rehabilitate a long standing hip injury. Before meeting Matt, I had visited with founders of PRI concepts across the country from Idaho to Nebraska and beyond, but my progress had stalled in fully resolving my discomfort and inability to get back to the sports I love. After meeting Matt, I decided to schedule an appointment with him to further troubleshoot my injury. I couldn’t be any happier with that decision. Matt dedicates time to his clients, is incredibly knowledgeable about the sciences of movement, and possesses a more practical experience based approach to getting his clients beyond their expectations. I’ve met a lot of therapists over my career (I’m a Professor of Anatomy & Physiology and have taught physical therapy courses). Few people I’ve met have the skillset and the practical knowledge to apply what they know the way Matt does. If you are looking for an excellent practitioner with substantial experience in PRI principles, or any other multitude of perspectives, I would absolutely recommend Matt Varca and his team at Positive Energy Physical Therapy.

I went to Positive Energy and saw Lenae on the recommendation of my doctor. If you are really serious about healing and getting stronger, I highly recommend Positive Energy. Ive been to other PT offices and the therapists at those places always have multiple patients they are working with. So they just setup you up on an exercise and then leave you alone to do them. When you are done with that exercise, they come back and move you onto the next exercise. Positive Energy isnt like that at all. Lenae was one-on-one working with me and making sure that I was doing the exercises correctly. She was more like a personal trainer than your typical therapist.The name of this place is very fitting for the vibe you get there. There really is a lot of positive energy floating around. The therapists there are all very into fitness and I was really inspired to get in shape. I weighed 185 lbs when I started going there and Im only 5 5... so I was quite a bit over-weight. As I worked out there, I got more inspired to exercise more. I started walking everyday for about 3 months, but then that was taking to long to burn any real calories. I wanted to start running but was afraid that my back couldnt handle it. Lenae told me that there are techniques to running where you wont hurt your back. They have a treadmill setup with multiple cameras to analyze your running style. She helped me adjust my running technique so that I wont injure myself running. I started off by just running 2-3 miles and that was really tough. But after only 2 months of working with Lenae and adjusting my running style, I actually was able to run more than 13 miles! It wasnt that I got stronger, it was the running technique that she taught me. I completely credit her with helping me increase my distance. She taught me to run with my glutes instead of my calves. This made all the difference. Running became effortless and I started to really enjoy it. After three months of running, I lost 20 lbs. I was down to 165 lbs!(I use Endomondo to track my runs. I posted pics of my first run and then my longest run. They are only about 2 months apart.)Its been about an year since I finished therapy with them. Ive been doing remodel at my house for the last year and havent had time to keep running. I put back on some weight and my back is starting to hurt again. Im planning to see my doctor soon and probably will start PT again with them. My remodel is almost done so its time to get back into shape!

If you want to get back to an active life after injury or surgery, or just want to make your athletic experience stronger, Positive Energy is the place. They have brought me back from an almost two year injury. We are working towards longer distances after competing in some shorter distances. Its a great team to be involved with, I highly recommend Positive Energy!!

Great, amazing work. I had the opportunity to work with Jay. We first discussed and reviewed the history of my knees. Once we got that figured out, we moved onto exercises and a regime to bring them back to 100%. Im not going to lie, I had some hope of returning to form; but Jay assured me it was possible. With time, dedication and execution, I feel a lot better now. Just today, I stood in disbelief of how my knees felt. they felt normal.One minor thing to look out for though: be sure youre doing the exercises properly. They make a world of a difference. For example, Jay assigned LDRs and Calf Raises. I wasnt doing either properly. Once I got them down, I was able to notice a major improvement.With this, I can now go back to running, soccer, boxing and golf!

I could not have more positive things to say about the trainers at Positive Energy. I am an injury-prone college athlete and have seen dozens of doctors, trainers, and specialists, but these folks by far have been the most personal, understanding of individual differences (whether thats fitness goals, ability, or even financial situation), and professional (without being unapproachable!). I have never felt as healthy and strong as I have working with them and can always count on them to support me through my training even when I am not in town anymore. They really are more like coaches than trainers.

I experienced a back issue for the first time in life and went to see Matt Varca. I had never been to see a PT before and was not sure what the process would entail or how effective it could be. Matt put all of that to rest - he was extremely thorough in the diagnosis, practical in the treatment and professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend Matt, and Positive Energy, to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive environment to get their PT issues handled.

In August 2019, my son tore his ACL and sprain his MCL during his first varsity high school football game of the season. My husband and I immediately found ourselves discombobulated, overwhelmed, and concerned about the mental and physical health of our son. After extensive research, we found a phenomenal surgeon at Children’s Hospital who not only walked us through the logistics of our son’s surgery, but he also mapped out a nine-month recovery plan in an impressive and extensive package. Included in our package, was a lengthy listing of physical therapists. However, the surgeon highly recommended Positive Energy Physical Therapy because of their high success rate working with athletes. I’m so thrilled to have trusted the recommendation of our son’s surgeon. I could write for days about how pleased we all are with Positive Energy. However, I want to highlight (in no particular order) the main reasons why this business exceeded our expectations:1) Genuine concern for their clients – every staff member here is motivational, caring, optimistic and real. They care about our son’s general well-being both physically and mentally. And in turn, this genuine concern has made our son determined, confident, and optimistic about his own recovery process.2) Great customer service - every staff member is friendly. This business lives up to its name. You literally feel good vibes when you step into this place (it’s clean and appeasing to the eyes).3) Flexible and Accommodating – I don’t know how they do it, but they manage to work around everyone’s busy schedule. We had an immediate pre-op need which required last minute physical therapy appointments. The owner, Sean Ryan, stepped in and demonstrated his willingness to adjust his own busy schedule in order to work with our son for the first four weeks, until his therapist, Matt Varca, became available.4) Knowledgeable and encouraging – during our son’s first appointment, the owner, Sean Ryan, walked our son through diagrams of his injury and encouraged him to ask questions. Sean also explained to our son the mental and physical repercussions of an ACL surgery. Further, he introduced our son to another client recovering from an ACL injury post a six-week surgery. AND this client was walking around without crutches! Sean explained to our son that the recovery process required team work and hard work on his part and that working with a therapist was only half the battle. Sean ensured that our son would do well because he could see the determination and grit in his eyes. Sean paired our son with a physical therapist, Matt Varca, who used to play football and could relate to the plight of our son.5) Effective communication skills - Both Sean, the owner, and our son’s post-op therapist, Matt Varca, communicate the progress to our son’s surgeon as well as to his high school physical therapists. They want to make sure that all parties involved are on the same page in terms of the weekly workout routines and progress.Like I said before, I could go on and on. Because of the aforementioned pointers above, our son is three weeks ahead of his recovery schedule and I owe it to everyone involved in his recovery process, including Positive Energy Physical Therapy!!

One appointment and I am already super thrilled my doctor referred me here. After smoking cessation back on December 31 of last year, I packed on the pounds, leaving me with the challenge of losing some of the extra weight. Ive always been a walker, so 10 miles a day seemed to be a good start, until I developed plantar fasciitis. Thinking it would just go away, I continued to walk and eventually ruptured my fascia. Fast forward to my trip to urgent care, icing and a week of prednisone didnt do the trick, so my doctor prescribed physical therapy. From the minute I walked in this morning, I know I am on the road to recovery. Sean asked all the right questions (some made me think seriously about my injury), and I know I am in the right hands to heal properly. Knowing I have no expertise in this area, Sean explains the injury and treatment in a way even I could understand. I have two baby steps homework to work on until my next visit on Friday. I am working on that now, Sean. :-)

Ive been having issues with my shoulder for over a year. I am a health care provider and thought I could treat myself but after little relief, I sought the help of Matt Varca. Matt is extremely approachable and a great listener. He approached my case with an open mind. Matt is very knowledgable AND kind. He was always open to varying up my regimen to fit the needs of my body. His approach is holistic-taking everything into consideration including how the breath and the nervous system may be playing a role in the issue. I would highly recommend that anyone with an issue limiting their mobility or performance seek help from Matt-hes great!

I was very impressed from the start. From Brandi, the receptionist, who was so helpful, welcoming, and encouraging, to Hilary who knew just what exercises would help my achilles tendonitis heal. Hilary was willing to switch to Zoom therapy sessions when Covid 19 restrictions came into place.I sincerely appreciated that. There was a misunderstanding about how much my insurance covered and Sean agreed to let me finish out my sessions despite the insurance snafu. I would highly recommend this place!

When I felt that little twinge in my left hip on a Mother’s Day morning run, I was a bit concerned when the pain increased to the point that forced me to stop for the day, less than a mile into my run. I decided to rest it over the following week since I had a charity 5K the next weekend, however, on May 19th, when I couldn’t run more than 1/4 mile, and then a week later when I couldn’t even run 100m on the track without pain, I truly thought that my track season was over.The orthopedist’s diagnosis of bursitis was also a bit of a let down since I pretty much felt that was dubious, given the location of the pain. I did get a cortisone shot while in his office, basically grasping at straws, and subsequently challenged Matt, my PT guru from Positive Energy, at our first session on June 1 to get me well enough to at least compete in a corporate relays track meet in Colorado by July 13. Matt framed out a recovery plan, focusing on strengthening the hip area as well as much of my core, and I followed him religiously. Incredibly, he guided me to actually completing near-full intensity workouts of 100-400m repeats on the track by the end of June.I was not only able to compete at the meet in CO, but actually did quite well, my lack of cardiovascular training for a month and a half notwithstanding. I ran in 4 relays and helped the team take Gold in all four! My 200m and 400m relay splits were each within about 1 second of what they were the previous year, after a healthy last season of training. It really is a pretty good success story, and I owe it all to Matt and the greatly supportve folks at Positive Energy!

Lenae has been so helpful in getting me back on the road and pain free! Her knowledge and patience creates a lets move forward atmosphere. Her enthusiasm is infectious. Lenae uses every piece of equipment available and makes it easy to utilize what the patient has at their home to keep at it and get better. Also the friendly staff at Positive Energy make it a positive part of the rehabilitation process.

After 8 months of no answers and no improvement I was skeptical that physical therapy would work but oh my goodness this place has changed my life. Hilary is incredible and I cant even begin to say thank you for how much shes helped me. Everyone there is super friendly and the energy (haha) really is incredible! 10/10 would recommend this place for anyone looking for physical therapy
