I’ve always tried to be active, using a rowing ergometer and weights regularly, as well as stretching and walking regularly.  In addition, I’ve been training in, and teaching, the Japanese martial art of Aikido for 40 years.  In fact, I’m the Chief Instructor of Aikido of Eugene.  Being 65 and active, and being involved in a martial art, I’ve acquired my share of injuries over the years and I’ve continually come back to Jeff Giulietti at Eugene Physical Therapy for assistance.  I first met Jeff in 1999 while recovering from a medial meniscectomy on my left knee.  Jeff ably assisted me in making a full, 100% recovery, to the point that, at an Aikido seminar later that year, when asked how my knee surgery had gone, I had to take a moment to remember which knee I had injured.  Over the intervening 18 years, I’ve received physical therapy from Jeff for neck, shoulder, lower back, leg, and hand injuries.  Jeff has always been able to assist me in healing and achieving full recovery, no matter how severe the initial injury.  I’ve always been impressed with his knowledge of the human body and how it works and with his method of involving me in my own active recovery.  He is responsive; he pays attention to what the patient says; and he clearly explains the exercises he asks you to do in your recovery.  I think Eugene Physical Therapy and Jeff Giulietti, in particular, are tops in the field of Physical Therapy in the greater Eugene area.  I have recommended Jeff and Eugene Physical Therapy to friends.  One of them gratefully says, “Jeff saved my life!”  If you’re in need of Physical Therapy, I highly recommend Eugene Physical Therapy.
