(and how happy they are now...)

“It has been about a year since we finished our treatments.  I just wanted to write you to let you know, I continue to be pain free!  I am consistently running over 2 miles multiple times a week and incorporating the exercises you taught me on my off days. It is wonderful to be at this point in my life, and I have you to thank for it.  It is also so great to know that if I do get some swelling or anything, its not the end of the world!  Thank you again x 100!”

“After suffering for quite a while with hip pain I finally went in to see Dr. Baird. Of course I had waited until the pain was constant not just while running. He worked with me to rehab and strengthen the area. After 6 weeks I am pain free. I will continue with the prescribed exercises as I increase my mileage again. It is so very nice to be pain free!”

Scott - Late 40’s - Portland, OR

“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. The same Doctor suggested seeing a chiropractor as an alternative and I put off the recommendation for over a year--not wanting to pay the cost.

After a few months working with Carl 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.”

“I had issues with my shoulders, including pain when I extended my arms to pick something up and when I was working out with my trainer. My trainer recommended I see a chiropractor and I selected Evolve Performance. Dr. Baird integrated his treatment plan with the personal training I was already engaged in. He also recommended exercises I could do myself to maintain the improvements I achieved at Evolve Performance. Overall, his treatment plan worked perfectly and the shoulder pain is gone. My trainer has noticed improved range of motion in my arm and shoulder movements. As someone in their 60's, I appreciated the focus on an improvement plan that I can actively participate in and delivers long-term benefits. I would recommend Evolve Performance to anyone with similar goals.

“After years of cycle training and putting up with aches and pains, I've discovered that my patterns of movement just needed to be retrained! Evolve has enthusiastically and successfully helped me to live and pedal without pain (and what to do if...)! Thank you!”

Peter B - Early 40’s -Portland, OR

“When I turned 40 in September of last year, I was overweight, out of shape and felt horrible. I decided to embark on a journey of self care and fitness. So... being the all or nothing kinda guy that I am, I started training MMA 5 days a week with a plan to step in the cage and fight 6 months later! A few months into my training, I was pretty beat up and had a significant shoulder injury. I was sure that I wouldn't be able to fight. One of my coaches sent me to Dr. Carl. I was a bit nervous to say the least.

I was put at ease quickly by Dr. Carl Baird when he let me know that he thought I could improve without surgery. I saw him weekly for a month or two and was astonished with the results! Not only was my shoulder better than ever... I had learned a lot about how to maintain it and keep the problem from reoccurring. I would highly recommend Evolve Performance Healthcare to not only people with injuries but anyone that is on the path of health and fitness! Hands down, a fantastic experience all around. I won my first MMA fight in May and will definitely be returning soon as I continue my training and journey of self care. Thank you, Dr. Carl! I 100%, couldn't have done it without your help!”

Erica - Late 40’s - Portland, OR

“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!”
