February Customer Success Story
We recently had the unique experience of helping professional speed skater Jonathan Kuck get back to his passion. Our bike fit and physical therapy collaboration with his treatment gave him the optimal outcome! He did a quick write up of his experience at RIF- read his testimonial below for the full scoop.
Jonathan Kuck
I’ve worked with Colleen (PT), Justin L. (bike fit), and Curtis (bike fit / PT), on ankle, knee, and hip issues. I speedskate and have had a variety of injuries that caused pain speedskating, training for speedskating, and during daily life. The team at RIF has a deep knowledge of the human body and their comprehensive approach to injury treatment and recovery is world class. My injury related pain has been dramatically reduced, helping me train consistently and get back to speedskating.
Full review:
I competed internationally in speedskating, but quit when I was 23 after struggling with hip and knee injuries. A few years ago (at 31), I picked the sport back up as a hobby. After a fairly serious ankle sprain that I struggled to recover from and a recurrence of knee/hip pain, I considered quitting skating again due to injuries.
Fortunately I found RIF. Much of my training is done on the bike so I’ve really benefited from the integrated approach that RIF takes to bike fitting and physical therapy. My symptoms have been root caused and addressed analytically. I’ve repeatedly been impressed by Colleen, Justin and Curtis’s depth of knowledge and their toolbox of approaches. After bike fitting and PT, I’ve been able to get back to training consistently, and injury related pain training and in daily life has been dramatically reduced. I’ve also learned a variety of new techniques for self management at home and while traveling. During and after my speedskating career I’ve worked with a wide range of physical therapists. The team at RIF is top notch; I just wish I had found RIF sooner.
Also, Justin C. at the front desk has made scheduling very easy. Thank you Colleen, Justin L, Curtis, Justin C, and RIF!
