Physical Therapy Testimonial: Brent Thompson

Physical Therapy Patient

 

 

Brent’s journey at MPOWER began in 2011. Since then, he has unfortunately had to come back and see us due to multiple shoulder injuries. He currently sees Paige Koshar, a physical therapist located in Green Hills, Nashville, TN.

 

 

Brent Suffered Multiple Shoulder Injuries

Brent has suffered from two separate shoulder labral tears and a bone fracture in his shoulder.

 

 

His Goal

As hockey player, one of his goals he hopes to achieve from physical therapy is to get back on the ice. He emphasizes this goal with one of his favorite quotes: “We don’t quit playing when we get old, we get old because we quit playing.”

 

 

His Experience Working with Our Physical Therapists

"MPOWER PTs are experts at assigning the proper exercises, as well as being attentive and caring to their patient’s individual needs and responses to the therapy. They’re fantastic at helping you make subtle corrections to your exercise movements so you can feel the motion perform its proper function of strengthening, stabilizing, stretching, etc."

 

 

His Experience with MPOWER

"You feel you’re literally in the best hands possible. The PTs work as a team which allows you to complete your session quickly without downtime between exercises. MPOWER also works as a team with Elite Sports Medicine so your doctors and PTs are always in sync. This makes sure you always get the proper care and speeds up your recovery so you can get back in the game!"
