Athletes push their bodies to do extraordinary things. In the case of Grace Thompson from Sedgwick High School, the three-sport athlete suffered an injury just before basketball season was set to start. The point guard was sidelined for the rest of the season.
“I tore my ACL in practice three days before our first basketball game,” said Thompson. “I had my surgery at the end of December and then I started physical therapy a couple days later.”
Advanced Physical Therapy utilized the tools and expertise at their disposal to help Thompson get back on her feet.
“I don’t necessarily have a favorite treatment, but I’ve felt great results with the system,” said Thompson. “I’ve also really enjoyed the people that work at Advanced Physical Therapy. I look forward to my appointments each week.”
The volleyball, basketball and track athlete is making excellent gains thanks to the work she and the staff at APT are putting in to get Thompson back on the court and track.
“I would say the biggest improvement would be my range of motion,” said Thompson. “After the surgery I could barely bend it and now it’s where it was before I tore it.”
Thompson plays outside hitter and libero for the volleyball team and she competes in four events for the track team; 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, shot put and discus.
