Testimonial Thursday!

Congratulations Yachi on your hard work, it was a long road that paid off!

Here is Yachi’s story in her own words.

“I came in with an Achilles tear. It’s been an arduous journey but Lou and Eric made the process worthwhile. I’m elated that I can finally consider being athletic again. Lou/Eric turned a challenging process into a manageable one. One thing I admire about NCWS is that their PTs/PTAs are extremely supportive. They are with you every step of the way towards your healing. A full year to recovery was not easy for me to accept.. but I appreciate both of them making this experience a positive one. I am so grateful for their guidance and generosity with time. Thank you for everything!

**Thank you to Michelle and Kathi for always greeting me with the best smiles every time!

**No offense but I do not hope to see you all again as that would mean I’m hurt! 🤣”
