It was normal, sunny day on Monday getting ready for the season. We started our practice off with a lot of hitting before our big game this Friday. As our defensive practice started my coach told us he wanted to see some big hitting. On the first play i dove into our running back very hard and felt my shoulder pop. I was in extreme discomfort for about two weeks. I decided I needed to get this checked out. I met with Dr. DiFelice and he was the real deal. He knew exactly what the injury was right away. He got me into a great PT program and in no time I was back playing Rugby for the number 5 high school team in the U.S.
April 1, 2019:
10 months ago I tore my ACL on a freak twist in a rugby 7s tourney. I was distraught and lost a piece of identity. Dr. DiFelice put me on an progressive and smart rehab schedule. Mentally, Dr. D. also helped me through it and kept making me realize the end goal. After playing on my knee for a couple months now it feels just as strong as my non-operated knee. I am so grateful for Dr. DiFelice getting me back on the pitch!
