Muscles, Misalignments, and Miracles: A Sports Injury Recovery Tale

After injuring his knee, Garrett finds relief through physical therapy at the symmetry clinic.

Garrett, a fitness enthusiast in his 40s, injured his knee while lifting weights last summer. Initially, he gave it time to heal, but he kept reinjuring it whenever he try to go back to his workouts. Frustrated by persistent pain, Garrett decided to try physical therapy to help his sports injury recovery. While it helped to some extent, the pain lingered, preventing him from working out consistently.

His physical therapist suggested some massage therapy and Garrett found The Symmetry Clinic. After a thorough intake and assessment, the clinic therapist discovered an underlying issue—a misalignment in Garrett's pelvis that was contributing to his ongoing pain and inability to recover properly. The Symmetry Clinic team worked in tandem with Garrett's physical therapist and focused on deep tissue massage and trigger point therapy to release tension around the knee and improve circulation. Specific massage techniques were used to address the pelvic misalignment, providing a more balanced foundation for recovery. Meanwhile, physical therapy sessions focused on restoring Garrett's range of motion and rebuilding muscle strength.

Within weeks, Garrett noticed a significant improvement. His pain diminished, and he regained confidence in his knee's strength and mobility. By the end of his treatment plan, Garrett was back in the gym, feeling stronger, more resilient, and better aligned than ever.

Massage therapy is more than a luxury—it's an essential part of athletic wellness. Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to prevent one, incorporating massage into your routine can make a world of difference.
