Jessica Feldman is a senior at West Chester University and has been a competitive cheerleader for the last 13 years. She is also a member of the West Chester club gymnastics team and coaches. It was while coaching cheerleading about four years ago that she injured her ankle. The injury prevented her from being able to participate in her own gymnastics. For many gymnasts an injury like this is career ending and Jessica was afraid that was going to be the case for her. That was when she started working with Precision Performance Physical Therapy.
A friend of hers, who is also a gymnast, had worked with Precision Performance in the past and recommended us to Jessica. For the past four years we have worked with Jessica on and off to overcome various injuries and to keep her active in the sport she loves! Working with us has allowed her to extend her participation in gymnastics far past when she thought she would need to give it up.
We strive to create a welcoming environment for all of our patients. To make sure they feel comfortable as well as informed about their treatments. Knowing that we were there to help get her back on her feet if she was injured gave her the confidence to keep competing. Knowing that there is someone who not only knows your personal history, but cares about you reaching your goals, can be the difference between continuing with confidence and leaving a sport because you are scared of getting hurt. This is the type of support we believe is the heart and soul of a good physical therapist.
Our patients are at the center of all that we do and we are so proud to have helped Jessica be able to continue to compete and participate in something she loves. If you would like to learn more about our approach to Physical Therapy and how we can help you overcome pain or injury, contact us today!
