Testimonials

​

Instagram, June 1 -  Wanted to say thank you to this page!! Without you guys I wouldn't of made it through my recovery as smooth as I did. This page helped me and answered so many questions and thoughts that keep running through my head.  It's nice to know you're not alone through this journey. 

Facebook Club post, March 12, 2019 - Hi All - I want to say that this is the best group that I have joined on FB ever! Never a negative comment - always support & advice. My ACL reconstruction was 2.27. I feel like I'm doing well - just want to go back to work & feel normal. So many of you are athletes and are waiting to get back to the sport/workout that you love. I used to be as a teenager, but now just want to walk without cane/crutch/brace. But this injury has inspired me to want to get back in shape - walking, running, cycling, swimming (my fave - love the pool & beach) - take better care of my whole body! I tore my ACL & meniscus by a fluke accident. But I'm going to be strong & give it my all to recover! Thank you to everyone that is a part of this group - for your support & supporting everyone that is dealing with this injury. You are all strong, positive & encouraging people!
