Speaker: Thomas M. Legath
Thomas M. Legath: Hello, my name is Tom Legaath.
What brought you to therapy?
Thomas M. Legath: I tore my quadricep tendon, back in 2023. And I was doing physical therapy for two years, stopped, and I developed calcium buildup around my tendon that was caused excruciating pain, um, where I was very difficult to walk, on a routine basis daily. And, I needed to have something done, um, with, you know, going back to physical therapy.
What can you do now that you couldn't do before therapy at Ivy?
Thomas M. Legath: Now, what I can, what I, what I'm able to do is I can bend my knee freely, uh, pain-free, thanks to, the shock wave therapy, the high-intensity lasers, that Doctor Musket has, has provided for me, which has been wonderful. And I feel, I feel like I can go out and perform like, I was 20 years old again, because I'm pain-free and, and no pain at all in my, around my tendon.
What was your favorite thing about your therapy session?
Thomas M. Legath: The most favorite part of therapy for me is, is Doctor Musket's hands-on approach to his patients. I also love, all the technology, the shock wave, the laser treatment, and then seeing that work and not being in pain has just made a world of difference for me, just in my mindset of how I approach things and the confidence I have.
Why did you choose Ivy Rehab?
Thomas M. Legath: I have a, a workman's comp injury that happened at work and, and reoccurred at work. So, I didn't choose Ivy Therapy, but I am so glad that workman's comp sent me to Ivy Therapy Rehab
