I was referred to Dr. Lauren Atkins @ Gainesville Wellness & Performance to rehab an Ischial Tuberosity Bursitis. My initial phone call from Lauren was very productive, she asked me about my injury and my lifestyle. She was genuinely interested in my current and previous levels of activities so she was able to pair me with the best PTA. My first office visit I met with Lauren and MacKenzie to go over my current status and put together a plan to get my injury healed as well as get me back to my normal activities. My injury was mid November 2018. I am pretty athletic, running 15-20 miles per week, biking and crossfit. Since I waited so long to get help the plan was 6-8 weeks rehab once a week. That brings me to my PTA MacKenzie Powell. She jumped right in to get me started on my recovery path. We met once a week, we did basic movement, stretching, and tissue work. After each visit she emailed me a recap of what we discussed as well as pdf's of each movement I was to work on for the next week. As I progressed the exercises got a little more challenging. A quote from one of my harder sessions " Hey, I have to tell you I am so stinking sore from those dang one legged deadlifts - ouch. I haven't felt this kind of sore for a really long time. It reminds me of my first Crossfit workout".
I continued to work on the exercises she assigned me each week, as I got stronger they got harder #challenges. About 5 weeks into rehab I started back to the gym. And now at the end of 9 weeks I am elated to be able to RUN again. Running is my passion, my go to full body workout.
MacKenzie was always responsive to my questions, and changes at each visit. She is very personable, I am beyond happy that Lauren matched us up - she was perfect for me. It was also helpful that she has a close family member that is also a runner, she understood my desire to recover as quickly and safely as possible.
I am so thankful for these 2 ladies, I would recommend them to everyone.
I have LOVED working Dr. Lauren Atkins for physical therapy for these past several months. She is hands down the BEST PT I've ever worked with. She is incredibly knowledgeable and effective in helping me reduce pain and increase mobility. I've been amazed at how well she tailors my exercises to improve the specific physical activities I am involved in. In addition, I appreciate how Dr. Atkins either gives me or allows me to borrow the props I need to to practice my exercises at home. This has been so helpful. I cannot highly recommend Dr. Atkins enough!!
I started seeing Lauren for Physical Therapy after years dealing with debilitating shin splints from running. I had assumed they would never get better. After a few months its a complete change! Shin splints are almost completely gone and other lower back pain I didn't even plan to treat is almost gone as well. I cannot rave enough about what she does!
Not only is Lauren an amazing Physical Therapist, it actually costs me LESS to pay her out of pocket than to go through my insurance. Yes, LESS! Around $40/session less. She has helped me through an ailment, followed up with me, given me great advice. She truly is interested in helping people get better, faster. I can't say enough great things about her, her work, her compassion, and her pricing. Incredible.
I have been training under Jason Atkins for almost two years now and he is hands down the best trainer/coach I have ever had. His knowledge of the human body is surpassed only by his passion for helping people discover and reach their health goals. He is compassionate and professional whether he is working with clients who are rehabbing acute or chronic injuries or training competitive athletes.
In short, he is the best !!!
The coaches at GWP are simply, the best! What a breath of fresh air. If you want to get educated in proper training methods and nutrition, check them out. I love the emphasis on form and function. It's hugely changed my life.
I came to Jason with chronic lower back pain. The progress I have made with him in just 5 weeks is incredible. He is sharp, experienced and very supportive. Love GWP!
Very knowledgeable group of trainers that design their workouts to meet your specific goals. Challenging workouts but in a safe environment because of their knowledge and individual attention that they provide.
I'm a competitive athlete who had a reoccurring back injury that would not go away. I would rest, and it would get better, but as soon as I started climbing up to high percentages again, the pain would always return.
Gainesville Wellness and Performance, through their expertise and experience working with serious athletes, literally cured my back, and helped me understand what was going wrong in the first place.
GWP gave me the knowledge I needed about my body to be proactive in my maintenance as an athlete. The worst thing that any athlete could ever feel is injured with no answer to why. GWP gave me that answer and helped me continue doing what I love, pain free.
I highly recommend Gainesville Wellness and Performance for athletes, as well as for the average person looking to be healthy and live a strong life.
