When I came to Dr. Richardson (Donnie), I nearly crawled. A confirmed couch potato, I had let my body deteriorate. When I slipped and broke my ankle, my back gave out, too. Donnie told me that the only way to get out of pain was to become more physically active. I nearly quit, but I liked the vibe here so much, I kept coming back week after week.

Over the next few years, I went from dreading exercise to loving it. With his help and the help of his physical trainer Mike, I have not only recovered, but surpassed my strength and fitness levels.

The kind people at Universal Sports Performance have taken this confirmed couch potato and turned his life around. I'm in my 50s, I broke my ankle and injured my back. I thought I would just have to live the rest of my life in worsening pain. Dr. Richardson (Donnie) saw me as a challenge, not a lost cause. I HATED exercise. All my adult life, it felt like a chore to do anything physical. I was so broken that even just reaching to touch my toes hurt. I was downing analgesics like they were candy corns. And I cannot stress enough how much I was loathe to go to the gym, swim, do anything that would improve my pain, because it caused pain to even try. When Donnie said I had to start exercising to do anything about my damaged joints, I rolled my eyes. But the staff here, the receptionist Laura, the trainer Mike, and Donnie himself all believed in me. Over the course of a few years, I have gone from a slothful, obese old man to an active, fit, greying gentleman. I actually crave exercise now. It was hard, but it would have been impossible without the patient, thoughtful care at Universal Sports Performance. I'm not an athlete, but I'm out of pain and loving being physically active. They work miracles here.
