Testimonials

For years and years I had a chronic calf strain issue in both my legs.  I had seen several traditional physical therapists and two orthopedic surgeons with “running expertise” with no solution.  my running was literally at a standstill and I was close to giving up completely.  My upper calf muscles would tighten after short runs and take weeks to recover.  Six weeks of treatment at WalkWell changed all that.  Their stretching and strengthening program, and in particular the Active Release Technique applied to both legs has completely solved this issue.  I am now running serveral days a week , up to six miles/run, after three short months.  I highly recommend WalkWell Rehab for your P.T. needs. - Dan Clapp, Ipswich

“I play tennis and developed pain in my shoulder so strong that I could not even sleep, let alone play!  After the very first treatment (ART combined with joint mobilization) 80% of my pain was gone!  I am practically pain free now after 4 visits.  Thank-you Chris!  Great job!” - DK

 “After 13 months of suffering through debilitating left hamstring pain, I had given up hope.  Two courses of PT and multiple trips to my primary and orthopedic specialist brought little relief.  WalkWell changed all that!  Throughout the entire process of evaluation and treatment, I believed from the start that I would one day be painfree.  Today, I have never felt better!”   - Chad Konecky, Program Manager for ESPN

“As a family physician, I thought I knew a fair bit about musculoskeletal problems and their treatments.  But after a few treatments, I had learned a tremendous amount of new things about physical medicine.  I have not felt better in years!  I now recommend Chris to all my patients who need orthotics or evaluation and treatment of muscle conditions of the lower extremities.”     - Phillip Burrer, MD at Family Medicine Associates

“Thank you for the wonderful treatments that I received!  It is hard to believe that I could barely walk from plantar fasciitis six weeks before my marathon.  You got me to the start line!  The orthotics and the PT program you created for me was perfect to get me better for my big day.  Not only did I run painfree, but I also set a new personal record for myself.  Thank you for all the support and encouragement.  I truly could not have done it without you!”  - Laura O’Connor

“I play for a division one sports team at the University of Pennsylvania and have had knee and foot problems preventing me from playing at my highest level. I have gone to see many specialists looking for solutions and had not found the answer until comming to WalkWell. In a period of two months since getting my first pair of orthotics made, my knee and foot pain has been eliminated and I can now workout harder and longer than I have been able to in years and I’m getting my desired results on the court. Thanks to WalkWell.”  -Mike Howlett

“After three visits, I am walking straighter and standing taller than I have in years. It is a joy to get up in the morning and not be bent over. Wish I had found Chris years ago. Can hardly wait to do another walking tour in Europe and I thought those days were over. Thank you, Chris.”  - Pam Nelson

“Debilitating pain effected my work as both a coach and teacher, causing me to practically crawl my way through life. Chris and Anna brought the pain down to a manageable level and taught me how to keep it there. Today I am practically pain free and could not be more grateful! Thank you both!”  - Becky Bascom

“I had been to two PT’s with little success in treating alignment problems in my knee. Chris really helped  me to both understand the problem and the long term nature of strengthening and stretching. He and his staff are part of a cutting-edge, welcoming, and success-oriented program that I’d recommend to anyone.”  -Julie Whitlow

“What a wonderful feeling to wake up each morning pain free. Chris and Anna were great. If you put in the effort you will feel the results. Thanks so much.” - Michelle Pike

“When I first came into walkwell I couldn’t run 2 mileswthout having to stop, go home, ice and take ibprofen.The pain from running even a couple of miles would cause me to be unable to walk up and down stairs for up to a day. Last weekend I ran the Boston Half  Marathon pain free!! 13.1 miles and not only did I run without stopping once but following the race3 and the next day, I felt great. My expirence at WalkWell was great. I’d recommend it to anyone needing rehabilitation or physical therapy. Running has always been something I’ve loved to do and was unable to continue doing because of  the pain it caused. The holistic, supportive approve at WalkWell changed that in three short months.” – Josh

“It has been a long time goal of mine to win a cross country meet. I have finished top 5 numerous times, but the coveted victory always managed to elude me. When I got shin splints at the start of my senior season, I thought my goal would be benched, however after the help of some crafted orthodics and just one physical therapy treatment I was able to set a personal record and win my first race.” -Andrew Graf
