Physical Therapists in Allison Park

“I highly recommend Dr. Karly Allen for those returning to sport after injury. I had a hard trail running fall that pulled my glute, injured my knee, and tightened my hamstring terribly (I had no idea how compromised my range of motion was until she showed me what was going on). I was training for a long trail race and was unable to run without pain. Dr. Allen was the perfect match for my needs: she is an athlete herself (ballet, triathlons, Rachel Carson Trail Challenge finisher), runs the office "Back to Sport" program, and took me (a middle aged woman trying to reach her distance running goals) seriously. Our twice-weekly office visits were scoped appropriately and graduated in intensity over time to build strength and balance in my weak areas, and also included pain relief and management interventions (massage, muscle scraping). The take home exercise plan Dr. Allen created for me went beyond just strengthening my injured areas, but was a more holistic approach to give strength, balance, and mobility to the surrounding support areas (core, quads, hip flexors). I was able to do the race I wanted to do without pain, and am continuing to do the take home exercises because the whole experience was more than just "fixing" me, it was an education in how to keep fitter and stronger for the long haul. I have been able to keep training and running without pain. Thanks, Karly!“

“About a year ago I hurt my back lifting weights at the gym. Of course Dr. Neff is my brother, he did help me with my pain. With a number of exercises and specific movements, I was relieved of my pain in a reasonable time frame. He is very knowledgeable in his field and I'm sure that he could help you too.“
