MPOWER Physical Therapy Testimonials – Jesean Hopkins

Jesean Hopkins’ Journey to Recovery

“When I first sought treatment, I didn’t have a specific injury that I could pinpoint. There was no single moment that caused my shoulder issues, but the increasing pain and mobility challenges led me to seek help. After a consultation, a torn labrum and some necessary clean-up on my shoulder were discovered. Following surgery, I was introduced to Kenny Chatman at MPOWER Physical Therapy, and that’s when my recovery truly began.

For three to four months, I went through a full range of physical therapy exercises under Kenny’s guidance. Simply put, he patched Humpty Dumpty back together. His technical knowledge and skill are second to none, but what really stood out was his care, patience, and adaptability. He didn’t just follow a rigid program—he worked with me to find what was most effective for my recovery. He also held me accountable, reinforcing that the process only works if you commit to doing what’s needed. And he was right—by following his guidance, I saw real, measurable progress.

Why MPOWER Stands Out

Beyond Kenny’s expertise, my entire experience at MPOWER has been outstanding. The transition from medical care to physical therapy was seamless, and the entire support staff, both in the clinic and at the front desk, has been nothing but welcoming and supportive. Whether it was working with different therapists when Kenny was unavailable or receiving additional care, I’ve had nothing but a positive experience. I recommend MPOWER to everyone I know.

In addition to standard physical therapy, I’ve taken advantage of various recovery techniques offered at MPOWER, including dry needling, cupping, and massage therapy. I even utilized the sauna in Green Hills. Each of these treatments has played a valuable role in my recovery at different stages, helping me regain mobility, strength, and confidence.

Regaining Strength and Returning to Life

The biggest improvement I’ve seen? The ability to go from being effectively immobilized after surgery to full range of motion and strength. I’ve had multiple surgeries—both shoulders, a spinal fusion—and MPOWER has helped me through each one. Most recently, I was able to get back to playing golf, even pushing through some lingering back challenges. And, of course, Kenny was there to patch me back up when I inevitably overdid it!

To anyone unsure about whether to start physical therapy, my advice is simple: don’t wait. Stretch, strengthen, and take care of your body. And most importantly, work with professionals who know what they’re doing. In today’s world, everyone wants to Google their symptoms, but nothing replaces the expertise of a skilled physical therapist. For me, that expert has been Kenny Chatman and the entire MPOWER team. They’ve helped me through countless recoveries, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”*
