Our Winner Jessica Watkins Conquered Injury to Complete 100 Mile Ultra Marathon!

Thank you to all of our patients who entered the #igotmyfixcapt competition during October and November on social media. We were inspired by each and every story filled with strong willed spirits and amazing feats! The common thread through each testimony was that by fighting to overcome limitations and injuries, each and every person grew stronger, faster, tougher, and better. Our winner of the Scheels gift card and this year’s “title” is Jesica Watkins. We share her story:

“In 2016 I pulled my hamstring but the stubborn runner in me ignored the injury and continued on training and running, only causing other problems that I wasn't aware of yet. In 2017, a year later, I decided it was time to heal the injury and I went to 2 physical therapists and 1 chiropractor trying to figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. Nothing they did helped me. I finally found Coach Amy somehow while searching online, and thought that I would give it a try. Within the first 5 minutes of seeing her, I had hope. She said "Oh I know exactly what this is and how to fix it!” I was ready to do anything and everything she told me to do to get better, including stopping running.

I followed her plan to a ‘T’ and within just two weeks of seeing her I was already noticing a difference. I was ecstatic! Months of hard work later, we started to gradually build into running. About 5 months into seeing her, I ran a half marathon followed by a full marathon a few weeks after that PAIN FREE! It was amazing. Fast forward to now, I just completed my first 100 mile ultra marathon, injury free. I have remained injury free since the day I started seeing her. She is so full of knowledge and experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend anyone and everyone looking for a physical therapist to see Coach Amy because she will help you if you just follow the plan! I can't thank you enough, Amy!” #igotmyfixcapt
