HIDEF Sports & Physical Therapy
“I worked with Vince Hui at HIDEF while I was in the Seattle area recovering from a total knee replacement. I was already doing quite well functionally when I started, but my goal wasn’t simply to get back to normal daily activities—I wanted to return to competitive pickleball at a high level.
Vince was exactly what I needed. His approach felt much more like working with a performance coach than traditional physical therapy. He objectively tested my quad and hamstring strength, identified weaknesses that weren’t obvious from how well I was functioning, and designed challenging, sport-specific exercises to address them. In just three weeks, my right quad strength improved by almost 18%.
What I appreciated most was that Vince understood both my goals and my capabilities. He challenged me without treating me like a fragile post-surgical patient, while still being very thoughtful about protecting the new knee and progressing appropriately. I became noticeably stronger and more confident in my movement, and I returned to playing pickleball during the time I worked with him.
I only wish HIDEF and Vince were closer to my home in Arizona! I would absolutely continue training with him if they were. I highly recommend Vince, especially for active people or athletes who want to go beyond basic rehabilitation and truly return to their sport.”
