Get back to what moves you

I tore my ACL playing club soccer in college. Dr. Vasquez walked me through every option, and the surgery was done right here at CSRI. What made the difference was having PT and my surgeon under the same roof — my rehab plan changed as I progressed, and nobody was guessing. Eight months later, I was back on the field.

I had been dealing with shoulder pain for two years before I finally saw Dr. Sharma. She explained my rotator cuff tear clearly and helped me understand why PT alone wasn’t enough anymore. The outpatient surgery was smooth, and Rachel’s team had me on a structured recovery plan before I left the building. I’m back to swimming three mornings a week.

I trained for my first marathon for eight months. Two weeks before race day, my knee gave out. Dr. Reid got me in the same week, and we figured out a plan that saved my season without rushing me into surgery I didn’t need. CSRI treated me like an athlete with a goal, not just a diagnosis on a chart.
