Every now and then there is a little pain but I think that is from a lack of stretching and the scar tissue, but I am getting better each day. More from Bayleigh…»I went on a run the other day and didn't feel tight or hurting for the first time!

- I really appreciated the detailed explanations of everything the doctor was doing and her explanation of why. I also appreciated the follow up exercises.
