Muscle Injuries and Disorders

Elora M.

I am so grateful to Brian Goonan, PT, DPT, and Niyati Parikh, physical therapist in training, for their incredible guidance, kindness, and brilliance this Fall. In late August 2023, I tore a muscle while training for a Fall marathon. The following month, a doctor told me that I probably wouldn't be able to return to running for several months. I felt discouraged until I met with Brian and Niyati, an amazing duo who taught me how to recover. Thanks to their optimism and insights, I was able to run my sixth marathon in November 2023. Huge thanks to Brian, Niyati, and the whole HSS team!
