Real Recovery Stories from Real Athletes

After suffering a torn ACL, Wesley helped me reach my goal of playing soccer for a top college program. During rehab, he was always encouraging and positive which helped me get the most out of each session. His testing was really detailed, thorough and challenging, so when I was cleared to return to play I felt really confident in my strength and abilities. He cares a lot about each of his patients and wants everyone to have a successful return back to their sport. There’s a reason I still choose to work with Wesley even after rehab. He’s such an amazing physical therapist, and even more, an amazing person!

I had a GREAT experience with Wesley during my ACL recovery. Throughout the ten months, he did everything he could to put me in the best position to succeed both mentally and physically. He understood that my rehab was different than the persons next to me, and made me feel very comfortable being honest about about how my knee was feeling. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great work ethic. I definitely recommend!!!

My experience with Wesley is one I will never take for granted or ever forget. He made my ACL rehab experience not only fun but I truly grew a lot as a person in life. He taught me how to trust the process and believe in my knee again which I never thought I could do. Wesley is one of the most dedicated, loyal, supportive, and hardworking people that I have ever met in my life. If it were not for him, I would not be close to where I am now 11 months post-op ACL. Playing lacrosse at a UVA can be rather intimidating after coming back from a torn ACL; however, he makes it all seem less scary. Wesley inspires me to have high expectations and goals for myself which is something I appreciate a ton about him. Most days, he believed in me more than I even believed in myself. I was able to express how I was feeling with him daily and he would accommodate my workouts to that, unlike most trainers who stick to their same protocols. I am so grateful for Wesley and all the tools he has helped me gain. I would recommend seeing him over any other physical therapist in the country. Can't thank him enough!

Wesley is the absolute best to work with! I got in touch with him to recover from a moderate hamstring tear. From the very beginning, Wesley made it a priority to not just treat me, but to truly educate me. He took the time to explain the purpose and intent behind every exercise, which gave me a deeper understanding of my recovery process and made me feel more confident in the work we were doing. Wesley also worked closely with me to develop a realistic and personalized timeline that aligned with my goals while making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. He constantly checked in to see how I was feeling—both physically and mentally—and adjusted things as needed to ensure my health remained the top priority. I never once felt rushed or pressured to come back too quickly, which meant the world to me as an athlete navigating the recovery process. I can’t recommend Wesley highly enough. He’s the best of the best!
