What People Say About KIN PT and Performance

I'm on day 3 of pulling my back. Slowly have been recovering from being completely bed ridden (I crawled to go to the bathroom). Before the session i was able to walk but not much without corset support. After following couple of exercises, I feel a lot confident with walking and no longer need help to get up or lay down. I'm so glad I called in!

Racheal R.

I am so glad that I found Steve to help me tackle my lower back pain! From the get-go, Steve was transparent with how he could practically help me and provided clarity and insight into the pain I was feeling. He clearly broke down by pain symptom, listened to my physical goals, and devised a clear course to recovery for me to follow.

I worked with Steve to rehab a climbing related TFCC injury and couldn't recommend his expertise enough! Steve was patient, thorough, and supportive while guiding me through my recovery. Upfront, he communicated clearly about the cause of my injury, and what to expect during the recovery. He took time to listen to my goals and concerns, and made sure to tailor the recovery plan to them. The personalized program also proved to be very effective. Following the plan, I was able to see improvement right away. A few weeks later, I'm back on the wall with no pain! Being a climber himself, Steve also gave me great climbing advice and insights on injury prevention in the long run. Now I feel more confident in achieving my fitness goals thanks to Steve. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome!
