Surgery isn't like replacing a light bulb - things can go wrong in surgery and leave you with permanent pain and disability.

Even the most experienced and skilled surgeons can't fix everything.

Surgery is always the very last option.

Even with abnormal x-rays and MRIs, up to 80% of all patients referred to an orthopaedic surgeon do not undergo surgery.

In these cases, proceeding to surgery would be considered premature and may leave the patient worse than they were before surgery.

Instead of surgery, the majority of these patients are encouraged to see an experienced physical therapist and get on a well designed home treatment and exercise-based rehabilitation program.

Despite what you read on the internet, not all rehab exercise programs for a condition are safe or appropriate. One size does not fit all.

For 25 years Terry has not only worked with some of the top Orthopaedic surgeons in North America, but also designed  exercise based rehab plans to prevent unnecessary surgery for the following conditions;

• Spinal stenosis

• Disc herniations

• Shoulder instabilities

• Muscle-tendon injuries

• Tendo-periosteal injuries

• Ligament sprains

• Menisical tears

• Arthritis / Osteochondral injuries

• Patello-femoral pain
