Success Stories

I was on the verge of giving up hope of ever running again thanks to plantar fasciitis. Trevor was highly recommended by several friends. One friend swore that I could get back my feet/legs again if I just see Trevor but I was very doubtful that PT could change it. I went from having excruciating pain for a year to pain level of zero after several weeks with Trevor. My first day at PT, I came into his office with all my gadgets and gizmos that I had bought online from creams, braces, supports and rollers. I wanted to be clear that I had tried just about everything! He worked with me for several weeks as I continued to improve. Thanks to Trevor I can run again. I can even last an entire soccer or rugby game and even started training for a marathon last year. I returned to him when I had a knee injury and like magic within weeks I was back up and running. He is a pleasure to be around, a great listener, and always optimistic. He is my go-to-wizard for injuries.

With my new hobby of running, the constant impact created pains in my leg. I tried running through the pain, but eventually it was too much and reluctantly went to visit a physician. I was told that arthritis in my knee and was given medication. I didn’t like that option, so I set up an appointment with Trevor. After a couple of weeks, Trevor and his team had not only eliminated the pain, but strengthen my leg better than before. Trevor and his team were great by explaining the issues while working with me so I could understand what was happening. I have recommended Trevor to the running groups, family, and friends.

As a lifelong soccer player, I have experienced my fair share of injuries, primarily to my knees. When I was beginning to experience knee pain as an adult and I knew I wanted to find a physical therapist who I could trust to provide excellent care and focused attention. I had only ever received PT at places where I rarely received therapy from my actual physical therapist. I was immediately put to ease when I worked with Trevor, as he provided HIS attention to getting my knee healed and stronger in order to return to the activities I loved. I cannot say enough how much it meant that he took the time to fully assess my knee, provide a plan for healing, and then worked directly with me throughout my recovery. He has provided the same great care to my husband and our family is so thankful we have someone like Trevor to turn to when we experience any type of injury or pain.

I came in to see Trevor because of a bad pull in my hamstring. I pulled my hamstring during a race and kept running on it for months before deciding that it was finally time for me to see a Physical Therapist. I could tell that it was not getting better and only worse so I knew I needed to get some help. A close friend of mine was seeing Trevor for Physical Therapy and had so many wonderful things to say about him! The first time she was talking about the improvements she had made with Trevor through physical therapy, I realized that this was the same Trevor that I went to elementary school with! I hesitated to go to Physical Therapy at first because of the time commitment as well as the fear that I would have to take time away to heal from something that I loved to do! I improved through Physical Therapy and was able to learn some exercises that I could do at home and at the gym as well to strengthen my hamstring muscles. Like many runners I still have “tight” hamstrings but do not experience the pain after running as I was before. I have been feeling great and enjoying my runs more than ever! I should also add that I am enjoying them cancer free now as well!

Trevor is an excellent physical therapist who not only has a great rapport with his clients, but takes a personalized professional approach with each and every one of them. I have experience this first hand for the past six years as Trevor has help myself and several of my teammates recover quicker from injuries so we can continue to live our weekend warrior lifestyle. Specifically I had severe tightness and pain in my calf and hamstring. I was unable to run at all until I experienced Trevor’s treatments. He had me running in no time. Trevor balances cutting edge techniques with tried and true treatments to individually craft a plan to get his patients back to doing whatever they want to do no matter if it is recovering from an injury or simply just battling father time. I would highly recommend Trevor for any and all physical therapy needs!

It was the first time in three months I felt relief from not one, but two frozen shoulders. Trevor and his style of PT was everything a co-worker had described. My doctor prescribed PT within his practice, so I hesitated to heed my friends advice. Mistake? Oh yeah… I always felt better after a session with Trevor. The types of PT Trevor used to get me through this difficult experience has literally given me my life back. From kayaking the Chicago River with my granddaughter to fishing every weekend. Would I recommend Trevor Ling to my family and friends? Yes, I would! It was one of the most difficult experiences I’ve had to deal with it. I cried from the pain I received from my first experience with PT. I cried with relief after my first visit with you. I wish you and your wife all the best in your new venture. Make sure to let me know when and where, so I can continue to offer hope to those in need of a great Physical Therapist.

It has been over a year since I saw Dr. Ling for issues I was having with my leg. As an avid runner I began to have trouble with my hip and IT band. I was worried I would not be able to run long distance again but with Dr. Ling’s knowledge, encouragement and guidance I am happy to say I have run three marathons since I saw him. I became stronger and more flexible through the weekly PT sessions with him that included exercises, movements and stretches to build my core and leg strength. He also provided detailed exercises and stretches to perform at home. I have continued to use these in my daily life and have been pain free since. Dr. Ling is an exceptional Physical Therapist that I would recommend to anyone. He is very personable and really listens to his patients. Thank you for all of your help in getting me back to top running shape! You honestly did help me get back to running shape and I will help you in anyway I can! I even ran the “dopey” in January… it is 4 straight days of running… 5k/10k/half marathon then a full marathon all in a row so 48.6 miles in 4 days. I could not have done that without the exercises and stretches you showed me!

I am 42 years old and have been a patient of Dr. Ling’s since 2007 to treat problems resulting from multiple sports related injuries incurred over several decades (motorcycle racing, soccer, water sports, weight lifting). After multiple MRI’s I decided to pursue physical therapy before committing to any forms of surgery and was recommended to Dr. Ling as one of many resources in the Memphis area. I selected Dr. Ling, then he and staff took ample time to listen to me and understand my symptoms in order to isolate the problems I was experiencing, and then Dr. Ling was able to strategically formulate and communicate a plan for my rehabilitation. He has treated all of my sports related injuries: lower back troubles, plantar fasciitis, complex shoulder injuries and several others.

I was first brought to physical therapy due to a work related injury to my back. I am a massage therapist and frequently injure myself while taking care of others. I was refereed to Trevor by another massage therapist, which highly recommended him. After just one visit I felt immediate relief both mentally and physically. Mentally because I finally found someone to take care of me and physically because he eased my pain and set me on the right path to healing. Since seeing Trevor my quality of life has improved which has allowed me to better take care of my clients.
