My ACL was in strings & my meniscus torn off during a game. Soccer career done. 5mths rehab at 17 yrs old and I returned to the soccer field. Here I am turning 44 this year and I still play. I think thats a testament to his work. All I can say was thank you for taking me on as a patient that day.??
