At 27, he started wondering, “Why does my body feel older than me?”. When Austin first came in, it wasn’t about a sports injury or a single bad move. It was about the small things in life starting to feel harder than they should.
He said standing still made his leg throb. Ten minutes in a grocery line, walking through the mall, even standing and talking with friends — his left knee would tighten up, like a knot under his kneecap that never let go.
So he adapted.
No leg workouts. No long walks. No jumping at volleyball. He’d lean on a shopping cart, shift from leg to leg, anything to take the pressure off.
When he came to Dr. Brad, the goal wasn’t just to treat the knee — it was to understand what his body was trying to say. They worked on decompressing the spine, opening the hips, and realigning the areas that had been compensating for too long. By week three, things started to shift. He could stand longer, walk easier, and move without that constant pull holding him back. Today, Austin says he’s 85% better — and it shows. He’s training again, walking freely, and learning what it feels like to move without fear of pain.
Healing isn’t just about fixing what hurts.
It’s about reclaiming the parts of life you thought you lost.
