I’m Happy I Didn’t Choose Surgery

“I have been dealing with hip pain that would stop me from athletic activity for years. I had done physical therapy, which helped but didn't solve the problem. I was dreading a Doctor recommended MRI feeling that I was destined for surgery. After a few months working with Evolve I am fully active again and currently not held back by my hip pain. I can't point to any one thing that made the difference, which is to say he truly took a comprehensive approach to the problem. My only regret is putting it off so long.” Scott – Late 40’s – Portland, OR

 I No Longer Worry About Having Reduced Mobility for the Rest of My Life

“I have always been a relatively active person - biking, hiking, barre classes - until I injured my back and spent a year and a half unable to do any of my favorite activities without aggravating the injury.  I tried many therapies - massage, chiropractor, acupuncture, and strength training exercises that were supposed to be good for an injured back - but nothing worked.  I thought I was going to have reduced mobility for the rest of my life.  It has been 6 months since my last session at Evolve and I feel great and am able to do all of my favorite activities again!”  Erica – Portland, OR – Late 40’s

I Don’t Fear Missing Out on My Favorite Cycling Trips Anymore

"After years of cycle training and putting up with back aches and pains, Evolve helped me discover how my movement issues were contributing to my back problems.  Evolve has enthusiastically and successfully helped me to live and pedal without pain and what to do if it ever comes back!”
 Kristina – Portland, OR – Early 50’s

When Physical Therapy Wasn’t Enough, Evolve Got Me Active Again!

"Two years ago, I crawled on my hands and knees out of my office, down the hall, out the building and to my husband's car. I was in so much pain from a knee sprain that I couldn't walk. My Dr put me on a pain pill regimen and I had PT appts once every 3 months (not the life I wanted). My knee feels great and almost at 100%. Walking moving, wood working, bending, and staying active. I didn't think I'd be back upright again. But Doc and my "Knee Team" have created a plan just for me. I am forever grateful. They are consistent, they are kind, they are personal, and THEY ARE GOOD!!! But the best part, they have become FAMILY." Tamra– Early 50's

I Feel Really Hopeful For The First Time In Years

“I had been experiencing hip pain and leg weakness for several years before coming to Evolve. I kept waiting for the physical therapy department at Kaiser to open so I could begin seeing someone, but there was no opening date they could give me. I began to look for another option when I realized that I was having trouble just walking around the block. My experience with Evolve is just what I needed to start to return to a more active life. Going to weekly appointments has kept me motivated and accountable. I will never regret doing this for myself.” Jo - Mid 60’s - Portland, OR

After 15 Years of Knee Pain, I’m Back Running 10k’s!

“It’s been a constant battle with my knee pain for over 15 years. The pain would come and go, but it really amped up when I began an exercise routine around 2010. I had seen physical therapists and my most recent sports medicine doctor who told me to ice my knees after working out and to live with it. I had come to accept that I wouldn’t be able to exercise and run like I wanted to. It's been a year since we finished our program and now, I am up to 5 miles, which is a new record for me! I’m hoping to run a 10k this summer. It’s wonderful to be at this point in my life without dealing with my knee pain and I have Evolve to thank for it!” Kristen - Mid 30’s - Portland, OR

I No Longer Have To Accept Chronic Back Pain As Part Of My Life!

“I am so grateful that Vanessa recommended your clinic to me. After years of chronic back pain from working out incorrectly for my body, the education you've given me has made it possible for me to do the work to heal. I'm doing things and lifting weight that I never dreamed was possible. I thought the chronic pain was just part of life with EDS. Turns out, it doesn't have to be. Priceless. I feel very lucky to have your team as my guides to better health. Thank you all. And it's just fun to come to the clinic and see you all and give Bandit a scratch.” Kelly -Portland, OR – Mid 40’s
