patient experience - meniscus

How did you end up at USC Physical Therapy?

I came here because the tennis school where I trained had a partnership with USC Physical Therapy. I don't remember what I came for at the time, because that was about 10 years ago. If I had any injuries in the past few years, I have come back here again and again.

What was the diagnosis and what did your treatment look like?

Recently, I was treated for my knee, which bothered me with deep bends and stretches. An ultrasound done by Joep showed that there was a small tear in my meniscus. In my treatment, Luc loosened the surrounding muscles and treated the meniscus himself. I also received exercises to strengthen my knee and surrounding muscles and the advice not to make deep bends in my training sessions in the near future.

Things are going well again! The complaints are completely gone and my legs are well trained so it won't happen again anytime soon.

How would you describe the practice?

The practice has a very nice atmosphere, it is surrounded by sport, which gives motivation. Furthermore, the physiotherapists really pay attention to you, are knowledgeable and fun to deal with. Because I've been coming there for so long, I know a lot of people there and I can always go to Joep and Luc. They also have contact with my physical trainer, and it is very nice for me that they work together and keep each other informed.
