I am 76 years old. Some years ago, I was told by my orthopedic surgeon that I lack cartilage in both knees due to degenerative arthritis. Then about 10 years ago, my husband noticed that my right leg had become crooked, or bowed. Last year he noticed that my left leg, previously pretty straight, had now become more bowed than the right leg.
In May of this year my orthopedic surgeon, whom I had been seeing for knee pain, sent me to c.h. Physical Therapy, hoping to forestall knee replacement surgery through strengthening of the leg muscles. I saw Ann Horinouchi for about 3 months who worked with me through extensive manipulation, exercises, stretches and hard work and now, to my surprise and delight, my legs are amazingly and noticeably straighter. I really had no idea that this was actually possible, and am so pleased.
