"My 16-year-old daughter, Kyra, who runs cross county, has had shin splints and calf pain for the last four years when she runs. She tried icing, taking time off during the season and resting, cupping massages, compression socks, magnesium and potassium supplements, and Epsom salt soaks. Nothing seemed to work, and the pain kept coming back. Finally, she went to see Kristi at Taylor Creek, and she said that the problem was not her shins or calves but was a core and hip issue. Kristi set up a program of exercises using postural restoration to help her, which increased her strength and flexibility. Kyra’s calf and shin pain is now resolved. We would highly recommend Taylor Creek Physical Therapy to anyone dealing with running issues, shin issues, calf issues, etc. We have had an amazing experience there. Thank you, Kristi!"

"My calf would just lock up and I couldn’t run over the last 10 years. After 7 visits, I competed in a 5-mile race without calf pain or tightness! I like to run and I enjoy coaching the cross-country team. I could not run a practice with my students. My calf would seize up and I had stop immediately. So, I did a lot of biking with the team. While playing in the yard with my kids, the calf would get so tight. I was worried that at some point in time the calf would tear taking a jump shot or playing catch with the kids. I’ve tried a lot of things over the years for the calf pain – scrapping, rolling, stretching, electrical stimulation and nothing ever helped. My practitioner referred me for Postural Restoration Therapy in Norfolk. This is very different physical therapy that addresses the body mechanics. My stride is smooth. I’m running the best I’ve ever ran in 10 years without calf tightness. After my second session of PT, I ran for the first time without calf tightness. I finished therapy in 7 visits and my running is easy!"

"I’m an avid runner. I had started a new strength routine in preparation for Lincoln Marathon a few weeks ago. I had developed some inflammation and soreness in my left knee. I thought it would go away but it persisted, so I went into see Kristi. After talking about my issues, she had me demonstrate my exercises. We adjusted my posture, and I could feel my hamstrings, glutes and abs working. Doing the exercise, the with the correct posture took pressure off my knee. Thank you."

"The first time I walked into Taylor Creek I was a bit skeptical. I have spent a significant amount of time the last 8 years in Phoenix Arizona working with some of the best physical therapists and chiropractors in the country. As an athlete and trainer/coach of some of Northeast Nebraska's finest athletes I was looking for the same attention and methodology that I was accustomed to at EXOS in Phoenix. Taylor Creek's staff delivered on this 100%. I would recommend Taylor Creek to not only the athletes I train but to my friends and family as well."

" I came into Taylor Creek hoping that I could find an answer for the muscle imbalances that was experiencing with everyday activity, golf, and working out. I could feel that my core was way stronger on my right side than my left, and my right leg was much stronger than my left as well. I would notice after activities such as running and skiing that my right leg and abdominals would be so sore, while my left side wouldn’t even feel like it had been worked. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t feel my left side and nobody else could tell me why this was occurring either. I had been to previous chiropractors and physical therapists who had no answers for me. I was hopeless, considering I had noticed these issues back when I was a junior in high school (almost 4 years ago), and had no reassuring answers from anybody I had seen up until this point.

My golf coach at Northeast Community College referred me to Taylor Creek and they were able to identify that I had some previous head trauma (concussions) that made my right-side dominant issues worse, carrying over into sleeping habits, golf, etc. They taught me how to inhibit my right side and learn to sense my left with specific re-training exercises and by changing how I conduct myself during the day. With golf, I had to stand differently, carry my bag differently, and even change how I was bending over to place the ball on the tee. These were all things I had done so repetitively without ever really giving second thought about how I did them and how they were contributing to my issues. Once I was able to identify and change these habits, I immediately felt more balanced, more aware of my left side, and more in control of the movements in my golf swing. I would highly recommend anybody who is experiencing similar issues to consult Taylor Creek and ask how they can help you. They are unique and have really changed my life!"
