As someone who has undergone considerable physical therapy to recover from myriad medical challenges over the years (e.g., broken bones in both arms as well as my left leg and foot, multiple knee reconstruction surgeries, severe bursitis in my left ankle that required usage of a walking boot for several months, etc.), I’m very familiar with the rehabilitation process.
While physical therapy was helpful in all of the above situations, going to Don Beatty has been nothing short of exceptional in every facet of the care and treatment that he provided. His knowledge of the human body and how to address different aspects of orthopedic wellness is astounding, and his understanding of the exercises to enhance rehabilitation is extraordinary.
In my experience, the benefits of physical therapy aren’t even close to the amazing benefit that I’ve gained from going to Don Beatty for orthopedic massage.
For example, when my back and hips were maligned from being in a walking boot for several months, it caused ongoing pain in my back and hips, despite physical therapy. In going to Don, he straightened out my back, realigned my hips, and helped me feel better than I had in a very long time.
After going through a long bout of physical therapy to recover from my broken leg, I still wasn’t able to fully straighten my leg nor could I bend it to a 90° angle. The lingering pain in my left leg caused ongoing issues with my sleep quality for over 6 months. So while I continued my physical therapy, I went to Don Beatty again for assistance, hoping he’d be able to get me to a state of being fully recovered.
He carefully addressed my situation, worked on my back, knee, and hips to ensure that all muscle groups and joints recovered, and thoughtfully crafted a strengthening and stretching program that I did from home in between my visits to him as well.
The cumulative effect was a dramatic improvement in my left leg—resulting in pain reduction, greatly improved flexibility, and much better sleep.
In retrospect, I wish I started going to Don Beatty sooner because I firmly believe it would have greatly expedited my rehabilitation from the above-described ailments. Don is an exceptional orthopedic massage therapist whose professionalism, vast knowledge, and understanding of the human body has ensured that I’ve fully recovered and am enjoying the benefits of not having chronic pain and stiffness anymore.
Don Beatty has my highest recommendation possible for his exceptional work and assistance that he provides to improve his patients’ lives. If you’re seeking someone to assist with your orthopedic needs, Don Beatty is the orthopedic massage therapist who can help.
Thank you, Don!
