Heather\u2019s Story<\/em><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After slipping off our raised garden bed and tweaking my foot into a Grade 2 sprain, I immediately booked an appointment with Foster at IPA Physio. Previously, I had the good fortune to meet him in Steamboat Springs, Colorado after an unfortunate surgery. He got me back on the road to healing, playing outdoors \u2013 like we did in the Rockies year-round, and of course, back to work, which is in my case: writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very happy when I discovered that he had relocated to Portland, Oregon after my recent foot injury. What luck! I have gone to many physical therapists over the decades of being a rather competitive athlete. After blowing out my ACL, I was back to skiing six months later \u2013 thanks to this incredible and hands-on care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tangible Steps to Feeling Normal Again!<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the owner of IPA Physio came and reviewed my symptoms, he gave my PT some new areas to work on that truly changed my life. For the first time in 6 years I was able to do normal activities (and be with my husband) without pain! At IPA Physio, we worked on my abdominal muscles and I no longer had painful periods or back pain. And then, miraculously, I found out I was pregnant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPA Physio supported the pregnancy and even helped with my breathing problems after having several cases of COVID and suffering from asthma for 20+ years. 10 months later, I have a healthy baby, my pelvic floor pain has not returned to the severity it was at when we started and I can even breathe easier. My healing journey has been a long road and I have more healing to do but with IPA Physio I am sure that one day I will be pain free. They gave me back hope that my body was able to carry a healthy child to term and perform normal activities without pain and I am truly grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
