After years of pain in both legs, Jim Hale, 53, ultimately decided to take his doctors advice and have total knee replacements on both knees. He was very apprehensive about having surgery, but was pleasantly surprised that post surgery he experienced very little pain. He attributed that, in part, to PT sessions at Active Life and Sports Physical Therapy prior to surgery. He was up on his feet with a walker beginning in-hospital therapy the very next day. He quickly progressed to a cane. He started outpatient physical therapy immediately following discharge from Sinai Hospital. He was amazed how fast his progression and outcome from physical therapy were. Now, five months post surgery, he is exercising regularly and bowling pain free. He has also seen overall fitness gains which he has attributed to both the physical therapy and the post-care individualized fitness program that was designed for him as a gym member of the Active Life and Sports Fitness Center. His original goal was to participate in the national Bowling Tournament in Reno, Nevada this June. He stated he feels 'as ready as he could ever be.' He attested to the fact he would have never reached his high levels of success without the staff of Active Life and Sports. Here at Active Life and Sports we are grateful for the opportunity to have assisted Jim and we wish him success throughout all his future endeavors. James "Binky" Jones is an amazing man and athlete. He is a husband, father of two children ages 11 and 7, and works full-time as a vocational teacher for disadvantaged youth. And, at the age of 37 Jones is competing at the professional level in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. This is especially significant because his career was almost cut short by a neck injury in 2006. James lamented that "the pain was so severe that I thought I would never fight again". He had been unable to do any Jui Jitsu or Boxing moves without pain in his neck. He was even having difficulty sleeping at night. Jones had been dealing with this problem for almost a year and had been to a number of practitioners prior to coming to Active Life and Sports. After several weeks of manual therapy and exercise, he was able to return to training and finally competition. In fact, Jones succeeded in becoming the Ring of Combat Lightweight Champion in 2007. He recently signed a professional contract for two additional fights. At Active Life and Sports we wish Jim the best in his career and in life. We are grateful for the opportunity to have made a significant contribution.
