I came in struggling for months with ITB knee pain and was unable to run more than 4 miles without discomfort. Dr. Garofolo took a very thoughtful and conservative approach…which ultimately was for the better. He focused on long term recovery rather than rushing me back too quickly. Working with my physical therapist, Yiyu, also made a huge difference. She identified hip weaknesses, and built a compound rehab plan around strength/stability/mobility for the whole kinetic chain. After 5 weeks, I can now run 13 miles pain free and have returned to sport with confidence. I’m grateful and would highly recommend Dr. Garofolo and Yiyu to anyone dealing sports related injuries.
