It was 2011. I was preparing to move to another state from Seattle. With no warning, my left knee swelled to double its size. The pain was excruciating. I reviewed Orthopedic MD's in Seattle and chose one who was a local sports team's MD...with good reviews. After the MRI, my sports MD told me - good news! No surgery. But, I was told to start physical therapy, and that I could use a pain killer every day for the rest of my life...but the cartilege was gone from my left knee. The traditional PT regime I followed with sincere discipline...and the pain became worse. A friend at work said she had been referred to Steve Thompson...with wonderful results.
In 5 weeks, twice/week, Steve worked with my knee. His gentle and mobility-increasing modalities took me from walking with a walking stick, swollen knee, searing pain, continual fear of falling, to: no support while walking, no pain while walking, perfect balance. I did my part with diet, and he did his. He is an amazing man, with the skill to help you to heal.
