LeBauer Physical Therapy

As someone who lifts weights four times a week, I was frustrated when knee pain started hindering my mobility and my progress. For about 18 months, I dithered and rested, relying on my coaches' (excellent) modifications and a round of physical therapy at a clinic that will remain unnamed here while my pain persisted.Finally, I came to see Dr. LeBauer. Because he is himself a weightlifter (full disclosure: we attend the same program), he understands my context. He also checks in, asking thoughtful questions about current mobility and my goals and observing how my body moves. I can't lie and tell you that dry needling or some of the muscular releases are pleasant in the moment or even hours after treatment (Dr. LeBauer has tolerated some VERY impolite language from me), the relief that comes the next day has been incredible. In five weeks, my knee pain is largely gone and I'm back from not being able to do weighted squats at all to squatting and deadlifting more than I did pre-injury, to say nothing of going up and down stairs!In addition to being effective, Dr. LeBauer is unfailingly positive, responsive, and communicative. He checks in between sessions, sending me videos of the home exercises. My functional health has drastically improved, and I'm deeply appreciative.
