Just got back from a 4-mile run, and I have Pacific to thank for it! After having meniscus surgery, I was a little apprehensive about whether I’d get back to my pre-injury activity level. Plus, it was the end of winter and the crap weather had me a little down, so it would’ve been easy to slack off my rehab and negatively impact my lifestyle. From the start, I could tell I was in good hands. My PT was Erica, and she was a total ace. Although she put me through a battery of strength and mobility tests, I liked how she started her assessment by simply talking to me, asking me about my rehab goals, sports I played, and the frequency/intensity level that my schedule would accommodate. She designed a program that matched my needs. Will, one of the aides, was great in putting me through my paces and correcting my technique. I noticed he would keep an eye on other patients’ work, so when I finished a set and was ready for the next exercise, he’d seamlessly transition me to an available station and eliminated any momentum-killing waits. Erica maintained her professionalism throughout my rehab, and allowed her personality to shine through in a way that made me feel comfortable and enthusiastic about my visits. She quickly figured out I was motivated by challenges, and adjusted my workouts to keep me engaged. In the grand scheme of things, my injury was pretty minor. My goal was to get back to running/biking/basketball, yet there were older patients who had “real” injuries that severely impacted their ability to simply walk or write. Erica was attentive to their more complex needs as well, whether demystifying some of the specifics so it wouldn’t seem so scary, or just listening to those who needed to talk through their frustrations. She was as compassionate and supportive with them as she was fun and goofy with me, and displayed a genuine sweetness about her. Overall, I had a terrific experience w/Pacific and highly recommend it!
