Meet Gus—a 52-year-old weightlifter and CrossFit athlete who endured daily back pain for over 10 years. Four years ago, he sought physical therapy but found no lasting relief. That is, until he discovered Empower Physical Therapy and Performance. Now, Gus is pain-free and more active than ever.

His story is a testament to the transformative power of holistic care. We asked Gus what made the difference in his recovery, hoping his experience could inspire others struggling with chronic pain.

“At Empower, I received a full-body evaluation. They looked at my whole system and how everything worked together. My hips and mid-back were very stiff as well as a loose shoulder which I had dislocated in college. No one had ever looked at my whole body before. It was honestly the best physical evaluation I ever had! I learned SO much about myself. The therapist was able to relieve the tension and tightness in my joints and soft tissue... The best part was the medical fitness offered after my rehab. Once a month my therapist re-evaluates my strength and mobility, my home exercise program, and my work outs. This is the first time in 10 years I’ve been working out this hard with NO pain. It was like combining massage therapy, chiropractic, strength and conditioning and rehab all in one place.”
