Zang Physical Therapy

I had this knee pain that prevented me from kneeling, squatting and being active trying to take care of my grandkids. The doctor told me there was nothing to be done but have a knee replacement. But, he said I was too young so just suck it up. Well, that was not a good enough solution so on advice of a friend; I went to see Dr. Zang. He made no promises, but said if I was willing to work hard there was a good chance I could increase my function and live with less pain. I must say, there were a few sessions when I wanted to quit because he made me work hard and there was some pain along the way. Dr. Zang kept me focused on my goals and was encouraging all through the process. After a few weeks I was able to get down on the floor to play with my young grandkids again. I may very well need a knee surgery in the future, but for now I get to be active again without that horrible knee pain. – Sherry A.

When I came to see Dr. Zang on the advice of my track coach, I was unable to run even 1 mile due to severe lateral knee pain. Before he even touched my leg based on his history taking, he seemed to know exactly what was wrong and how to address the problem. After his thorough evaluation, we set a game plan to assist me returning to running by combining strengthening and cross training. I feel his experience as a runner who dealt with various injuries he shared with me helped me to mentally get through the rehab process. Within a matter of a few weeks, I was up to running 5 miles and completing workouts as I normally would have. I feel I now have a better understanding of how strength training is important for me as a runner to stay healthy and plan to continue those exercises on a regular basis. – Ryan C., collegiate runner

I went to see Andrew on recommendation of my pilates instructor. I was unable to do certain exercises on the equipment because I could not bend my knee following surgery and 1st round of therapy. After getting over my fear that no one could help me, I finally went to see Andrew. He developed a whole new plan with a heavy focus on hands-on care. I must admit, treatment was mildly painful but little by little my motion started to come back. Within a few weeks I could complete a full pilates session without the instructor having to modify because I couldn’t bend my knee. I am so happy to once again enjoy exercise. – Donna H
