Share a bit about your athletic + injury history with us!

I started seeing Nina in January 2021 because I was experiencing ankle pain while running and was trying to complete my first half IronMan race in May. From the first appointment, I was so impressed with Nina's hands-on approach and thoughtful diagnosis. She worked closely with me to develop a complete PT routine, and build up my running mileage to the half marathon distance. Over the course of 5 months, Nina helped me to go from 30 seconds of running to successfully finishing my first half IronMan race pain free!

What was your motivation for pursuing athletic training?

After months of unsuccessfully attempting to diagnose and rehab my ankle on my own, I knew I needed some professional help! I had never been to physical therapy before, and Nina immediately put me at ease. With a race only 5 months away, Nina helped me step up my running mileage and prepare for my first half IronMan.

What's the main reason you'd recommend Nina Szemis, ATC?

Nina is extremely detail oriented and offers a highly personalized PT experience. She is able to quickly identify weaknesses and adjust exercises/routines to achieve the best possible results. She is fully present for each appointment and I felt like it was the best use of my time and money.

Were there any obstacles that almost prevented you from reaching out to our team?

The cost, and overall expense to work with them, combined with lack of insurance coverage.
