Testimonials for Physical Solutions and Cathy Busby
Hardy Mitchell – professional football player for the Columbus Destroyers
After being a professional football player for ten years, I have found Physical Solutions to have the very best physical therapists and staff I have had the privilege to work with. They are the most knowledgeable about sports injuries I have worked with.
Physical Solutions also has access to medical services and doctors in the community that are some of the best in the country. All of these things combined help each client to get back to their very best.
Ashleigh Crutcher – Cary Academy Volleyball Team
Doing my rehab not only helped the condition I was being treated for … I became stronger. The exercises were easy to do at home and fit into my busy schedule.
Uma Shankar – marathon runner
As a runner, I have depended on the physical therapy and rehab services of Physical Solutions on and off for 20-plus years. I have found their manual therapy and personal training to be key in keeping me fit and injury-free during and after my marathon training over the past three years. Their staff is caring, personable, and totally committed to getting me in the best running shape.
Uma's Story – Uma is a scientist and marathon runner. She initially came to us with a knee problem related to training for a marathon in the 1980s. We were able to treat her while she continued to train. Uma successfully completed that marathon and a number of others, ultimately qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Along the way Uma won a number of 10Ks in her age group as well.
When we added other services to our clinic such as personal training and Athletic Performance Solutions, Uma began to train with Mark Forsyth. Uma has continued to strength train for several years with great results. This training helped Uma avoid injury while training for Boston and helped her improve performance. She continues to strength train for the many other benefits it brings, such as preventing osteoporosis, improving sense of well being and keeping her prepared for other activities such as skiing and hiking.
Tina Kier – USAV Volleyball - Team Hardcore
I had been attending physical therapy at an alternate facility but not getting the results I felt I needed to successfully recover from my recent ACL reconstruction. I heard about the experienced staff at Physical Solutions so decided to switch. I was instantly impressed with Cathy's knowledge in the field of physical therapy. The staff at Physical Solutions has far exceeded my expectations and the proof has been in the immediate results. The drastic improvements I've seen have been enough to convince me to continue on at Physical Solutions with my rehab, & I'm now back on track to being ready for the upcoming volleyball season.
Pat Estes – squash player, tennis player, and swimmer
My experience with Cathy Busby and Physical Solutions had a significant positive impact on my life. Physical activity has always been important to me for health reasons as well as its social and mental benefits. I became discouraged when a series of injuries not only shut down my physical exercise, but also made it uncomfortable for me to sit for extended periods. For years, I sought advice from a number of sources, including several physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons and a neurologist, who provided only limited help. Many well-meaning friends and family suggested that I give up trying to participate in certain activities. I always felt that I could get better, but not knowing what was wrong with me was frustrating and hindered any improvement.
I became hopeful after my first visit with Cathy, because she was able to diagnose my unique problems, something no one else had been able to do. With this critical information in hand, she set me on an exercise regimen and creative treatment schedule that specifically targeted my hip and back problems. This led to an increase in comfort while sitting at work and in my ability to engage in simple physical activity. Then, through continual advice and encouragement from Cathy, I gradually increased my activity level, so that now, she has restored my ability to participate in the activities I love, including swimming, tennis and, the one I cherish the most, squash.
Nick Campbell – weight lifter, runner, and other sports
As I re-enter the wild world, rehabilitated and feeling great, I wanted to offer my sincere thanks and gratitude for all that you have restored to my life. I never would have thought my quality of life would be so great after two complete ruptures of my right Achilles tendon.
My time at Physical Solutions started with a sincere conversation of what my pre-injury life was like, and what I hoped to achieve through therapy. I appreciated the focus on not just healing the injury itself but in how recovery would enhance my daily life and hobbies of lifting weights, running, and playing sports. After a fall that tore my Achilles a second time, in a different location, I was depressed about my chances.
We started small with Range of Motion exercises that gradually incorporated strength building. As my physical injuries improved, so did my mind and spirit due to the familial and warm environment in which my therapy was conducted. Every single person was accommodating and concerned with my recovery. I also enjoyed the humor and camaraderie the patients shared with one another.
