““After tearing my ACL and lateral meniscus in a skiing accident, I made the decision to pursue recovery without surgery, a path most thought impossible. From day one, Emily Scott at Velocity Physical Therapy respected that choice and worked with me to design a tailored program that focused on strength, balance, and long-term joint stability. Eight months later, I have achieved a full recovery without invasive surgery. She is an exceptional professional who turns determination into results.””
