I arrived at McGreevy clinic and was greeted by Dave, who would be my rehab instructor for about the next four months. Dave has been a physical therapist for over twenty years, so he knows exactly what he’s doing to say the least.

Before I could start getting my strength back in my left leg, I would have to get the flexibility back first.…
