Success Stories
Anton Bundschu2024-06-13Waited a month after my last session with Michael VP to give my ankle a few more test runs and sessions at the climbing gym. Happy to report my badly twisted, slightly fractured ankle is performing well. Really appreciated the attention to my goals and individualized routines. They are not just another "cookbook" PT. 5 Stars. Thanks again Michael!!!
Christine Rohacz2024-06-06Jonathan Crawley is the absolute best! I couldn't recommend him and the Mend team highly enough! I've been seeing him for nearly 6 months now for two separate injuries. As someone who is an active runner, climber, and all around endurance athlete, its important that I can stay active through recovery and Jonathan made sure that happened. Both times, he kept me training at peak performance while also healing in the process. On top of that, he is improved my running game significantly and helped make me more resistant to injuries in the future. Worth every dollar spent.
