Trainers near Acton

“Turning 60 was a big milestone for me with a planned retirement, cycling trips and more leisure time on my line up. What I did not expect was a sudden non traumatic knee injury that would stop me in my tracks, cause me unbelievable pain and prevent me from doing almost anything that involved my legs including going up and down stairs, walking for any distance, driving....you name it.

I did all the things that I thought would help: Iced it, rested it, used NSAIDS and spent hundreds on various knee braces. Three months went by with zero improvement. I felt old and demoralized and was absolutely sure that this was going to be my new life. It was devastating.

My sister, a physical therapist, recommended that I meet with Dr. McGovern and see if he could help me. She heard that he recently had started using Shockwave and had seen good results. I figured, what the heck?

Kevin did a movement assessment and evaluation of my knee, and we started both the Shockwave therapy, and exercises to strengthen my muscles which had apparently atrophied over years of sitting at a computer for work.

The results have been life changing! I am back to cycling 30+ miles daily on the weekends, walking several times a week on rugged terrain and doing water aerobics 3-4 days a week. I've lost 30 pounds and feel younger than I have in years. I continue to see Kevin a couple of times a month to ensure that I maintain my gains and continue to improve, using Shockwave as a means of ensuring that I don't develop similar problems in the future.

Kevin's approach of individualized instruction, utilizing multiple therapies concomitantly, and giving me tools to strengthen my other muscles to prevent future injuries has been a real game changer for me. I am looking forward to an active and enjoyable retirement that I was truly worried was going to be impossible for me just a few months ago.

I highly recommend Dr. McGovern! He helped me get my life back!“

“PTI is amazing and has improved my long jump by a ton, helping me place at indoor nationals“

“Max is amazing. I was never really a workout person, but I have nothing but positive things to say. If you're not sure-just do it. Big Work!“

“Miguel was very informative and helpful getting me set up and showing me around the gym and how to use the app. I love the setup of the gym and the taste of music and music volume. Love the little side room with the hard wood floor and mirrors too, as a movement artist it's a great space for freedom of movement, yoga, dancing etc.“

“I am writing a GLOWING review for NADINE, as well as the wonderful, welcoming staff here!!!! I walked in to Nadine warmly greeting me at the door, as well as other bright & smiling staff faces. She walked me to this clean and beautiful massage room that had a sauna and an Icoone machine for lymphatic drainage. She gave me a relaxing and healing hour massage that was whole body, but also focused on problem areas. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and I can tell she is very experienced. She also prioritized my comfort level with everything, which made me feel at ease.

Afterwards she introduced me to David, who gave me a mini therapeutic stretch session after we were discussing my tendon issues from sports injuries, which also helped a lot, as he was also very knowledgeable.

I am so happy I found this place and I will definitely be coming back!!!! Thank you!!!!“
