4,500+athletes · 20 years
Over 4,500 tennis athletes in the last 20 years got back to what they love with Michigan Rehab and Performance.
“My doctors told me I should never run again. Michigan Rehab and Performance proved them wrong.”
When Susan Smith landed hard on her right knee during a trail run she “heard the pop.” Prior surgeries from a car crash had always proved challenging for that knee.
Her doctors advised she never run again and consider “only walks on flat surfaces.”
“I’m 66 years old. I just retired. I love running through Michigan’s beautiful state parks.” After about 10 weeks, Susan had another scan. “The doctors were absolutely shocked at my progress and told me I could return to trail running.”
