Keleigh Nichol's Story

Before my time at The Med Gym I had a significant shoulder injury on my right side. I had two failed shoulder surgeries with replacement, and a shoulder joint infection. A third surgery with replacement was on the calendar and I knew I was going to have to work really hard to make it work. I had lost almost all mobility and strength in my right arm. I couldn’t lift more than 5 lb or put my hand over my head which made washing, styling my hair, and getting dressed difficult.

After doing physical therapy, I was referred to Kade at The Med Gym which completely turned my life around. Working with Kade has helped me regain strength and mobility in my right arm/shoulder and improve my overall health and fitness. I have a much easier time doing my regular daily activities- bathing, dressing, cooking, driving. I have more energy for other activities: walking, shopping, going out with friends.

Since I was using my left arm almost exclusively for years, I eventually needed a shoulder replacement on my left shoulder. However, because I had been coming to The Med Gym for some time, I was much stronger and in better shape. My recovery was much easier and quicker thanks to the great exercise program and the fantastic coaching and support that I have received. As a whole, I feel so much stronger and that makes me feel more confident in everything that I do. It affects every choice I make because I don’t question my strength, balance, energy, or stamina. I recommend The Med Gym to everyone! It’s a fun atmosphere with knowledgeable trainers who give you a program to follow based on exactly what you need.
