Shakila describes her recovery after four shockwave therapy sessions on her knee. She went from unable to jog to competing in long-jump finals in Puerto Rico, matching her March performance mark. She demonstrates her regained strength with squats and jumps.
Shakila, good morning. So what brings you in today?
Today I'm getting my 4th treatment of shockwave therapy with Dr. Salzinger.
Is that on that left knee?
Yes, on my left knee.
And how have you been doing up until now?
Oh, it's like night and day. I came in here wobbling. I wasn't even able to jog at practice, and I just came back from my competition in Puerto Rico where I long jumped.
And explain, you were a little tenuous if I recall, landing in that sand. was something you were concerned about because it had aggravated the injury before. How did you perform?
I performed really well. I made the final and I actually hit a mark that I ended up with in March. So I'm back where I was and I'm ready to continue to keep getting better.
Let's see you squat a little and do a jump.
Yes, sir. Here we go.
Gotta love it. Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. You're welcome.
