Pamela Shanti Pack - Professional Off-Width Climber

I have been a patient at Alpine Physical Therapy on and off for more than four years. As a professional rock-climber, I have had numerous potentially career-ending injuries from dislocated ribs, ruptured disks in my back, biceps tendonitis, a dislocated kneecap, along with the muscular damage and weakness resulting from these injuries. I have worked most extensively with Leah Versteegen and Samantha Schmidt who’ve used multiple therapies including Pilates-based rehabilitation, CoreAlign®, functional dry needling, and IASTM.  Leah and Samantha are the two most compassionate, creative, and effective PTs I have worked with throughout my climbing career.

I can’t thank Alpine PT enough for keeping me from becoming discouraged throughout months of therapy. They no only get me climbing again, but continually increase my sports performance dramatically.  I would never have been able to return to my professional career as a climber and at my current performance level without the expertise of the staff at Alpine Physical Therapy.

The staff at Alpine Physical therapy is very welcoming and helpful.  Brace was most helpful explaining my injury, what to expect, and how to heal it.  He shared many suggestions to help make the injury more comfortable during this process.  This therapy has truly helped me heal.

I started PT with Brent after several chiropractors, bottles of ibuprofen, anti-inflammatory patches, and consults with neurosurgeons had let me down.  This was my last course of action before accepting that cortisone injections and surgery would be in my future.  My motivation has been my son, James, and the drive to keep up with his speedy 18-month-old legs.  Within a short time, the PT began to work, the pain decreased, and the relapses became fewer and farther apart.  Now, a few months later, I feel better than I have in 15 years.  I have more energy, feel stronger, and hardly ever hurt.  For me, this is a new lease on life and a chance for my boy to know his Dad the way he should.
