"My experience with Dr. Giordano and Dr. Hilary Jablonski was phenomenal. After suffering a hip injury, I was worried that my professional dance career would be over. After their in-depth exam of my injury, followed by personalized physical therapy program, I was able to return to the stage to continue my passion. I am certain that their personalized and thoughtful care, is the reason that I am able to dance today."

Arthroscopic hip surgery can limit your activity for months, which can be frustrating for athletes. With use of an anti-gravity treadmill, which can reduce the body weight forces on the hip during running by up to 80%, athletes are able to initiate a running program as soon as 8 weeks post op, compared to 12 weeks on land. Audrey LeBlanc has used an anti-gravity treadmill to successfully transition back to running after hip surgery, in preparation for her upcoming soccer season. "This experience at URMC has help me enjoy running again", Audrey says.

To schedule a consult for an evaluation and to discuss using the anti-gravity treadmill, please call (585)341-9200.
