I can't recommend Tim and Unbroken Rehab in Lakeview enough. Back in July, I injured my lower back while squatting, and it quickly started impacting my everyday life. Every morning I would wake up with significant soreness and stiffness in my back, and even simple things like bending down would cause pain. I couldn't work out normally, and every time I started feeling a little better and tried to get back into my routine, I would just end up irritating it again. The struggle was real every single day, and that's when I knew I needed professional help.I had actually been to Unbroken Rehab a few years ago after dislocating my shoulder playing rugby, and they helped get me back on the field quickly, so they were my first choice when this injury happened.I worked with Tim for four sessions, and honestly, after the very first session my back felt significantly better. The relief was almost immediate, and it gave me confidence that a full recovery was possible. He taught me a variety of stretches, mobility exercises, and strengthening movements that targeted the root of the problem and helped me recover properly.One thing I really appreciated was that Tim went beyond treating the injury itself. He took the time to evaluate my squat, deadlift, and other lifting movements, helping me improve my technique and form so I could reduce the chances of getting hurt again in the future.After the first session, I was able to start getting back into the gym. By the second or third session, I was comfortably squatting the same weight I had been lifting before the injury. By the end of our sessions, not only was my back feeling great, but I also had a collection of stretches and warm-up exercises that I still use before every workout.The biggest takeaway for me is that I'm no longer worried about my back. Before seeing Tim, I was afraid I would keep reinjuring it or that I'd always have to be cautious when lifting. Now I feel confident in the gym again, and I have the tools to keep my back healthy long term.Tim is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and clearly knows his stuff. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with persistent pain, or simply want to improve your lifting mechanics and form, I highly recommend booking a session with Tim at Unbroken Rehab.
