TESTIMONIALS

Jeff is a master of physical therapy and I can’t say enough about him. He is amazing. My entire career, spanning from high school, college and as a professional track athlete were all under his care. He has helped me come through some possible career ending injuries and surgery. I would actually come out stronger and better than I was before my injuries, after going through his PT sessions. I have survived multiple hamstring tears, fractured shins, fractured back and tons of other injuries to be the only person in collegiate history to win the NCAA 100 meters all 4 years, a 2 x Olympian and 2008 World Indoor 60m Champion, just to name a few. This would not have been done without God and Jeff’s healing hands and brilliant mind. He is extremely creative and thinks way outside the box with the training he puts you through. They are challenging for your body and mind because he pushes you to your limit. But I fully trusted everything he did and would recommend ANYONE to him. Jeff has a God given talent. You will be better mind, body and spirit. That’s how intentional and intricate your training will be. When you know you have someone who genuinely loves what they do, values all people and just wants to heal the world, you can’t go wrong. No doubt about it!!!

I faced my first ever major surgery when I was 73. I was healthy except for a worn-out, high-mileage right knee caused by decades of soccer, tennis, distance running and golf. My problem was knee pain that would not allow me to walk for more than a half mile. My orthopedic surgeon told me it would only get worse and that I needed a total knee replacement. I faced the decision with apprehension. I was aware of Jeff Bekendam and his physical therapy practice, so I engaged him for pre- and post-op consultation. He told me about his experience advising hundreds of total knee patients and provided me with a comprehensive program to ensure a successful recovery from the surgery. I decided that it was best to go ahead with the procedure sooner rather than later. The outcome? – a faster-than-expected recovery and results that far exceeded my expectations. My surgeon couldn’t believe my 135-degree range of motion and referred to me as “his poster child. I had hoped to avoid a total knee replacement on my left knee, but five years later, it became clear that I couldn’t, so I returned to Jeff’s program and produced the same level of success. I’m now 79. I work out regularly, take occasional long walks, and play golf several times weekly. I can do all this, plus things like deep knee bends, bike riding, and light jogging, all with zero pain. My lessons learned? – Get professional advice from someone like Jeff. He has my highest recommendation. Then, do the work. There’s no substitute for pre-op strengthening and post-op range-of-motion work.

I met Jeff 22+ years ago when he started working with my children’s club soccer teams. Over the last 22 years, I have seen Jeff for 4 separate issues. My son Scott and my daughter Kelly have both seen Jeff for knee injuries related to sports. Jeff is very personable and diagnosed the best treatment for our injuries. Jeff’s knowledge helped us understand why our injuries occurred, and then crafted unique and challenging rehab programs to get the best results. His experience creates the best outcomes. My recommendation of Jeff Bekendam, PT could not be any higher.
