Endurance Physical Therapy — Local services in Grundy Center

I found Endurance Physical Therapy only after I had tried everything else. I had been dealing with hip pain for over a year. An MRI showed torn labrums in both hips and surgery was suggested by one doctor, but not others. I tried standard physical therapy, strengthening exercises for imbalance, extended time off of running/cycling, ultrasound and other PT tooling strategies, but nothing worked. The pain would be alleviated for a while but came back just as strong as before.

Dana (Endurance PT) took a full examination of my pain and experiences and found that my pain was not caused by the labral tears at all. He pinpointed the source of the pain exactly. While running me through a series of exercises he said "If I'm right about the source of your pain, this next one is going to hurt so don't push it". He was spot on! Amazing! His diagnosis changed everything.

That same appointment he did some dry needling (which does not hurt. . . they really shouldn't put 'needle' in the name) and I felt immediate relief. Not 100% but better. I was able to run short distances for a week and then we did a second appointment. Dana checked in on me daily via email. He is incredibly dedicated to his patient's success. His willingness to meet after hours, travel to Cedar Falls to treat me, and personal attention he gave to seeing me through to success is undprecedented.

After just 2 appointments I am running pain free and well on my way to my long distance goals.

If you want solutions for ANY type of pain I highly recommend Dana at Endurance...

I highly recommend Endurance Physical Therapy. I have bone on bone on both knees, which resulted in pain and stiffness. Wanting to delay and hopefully avoid knee replacement Dana and his staff worked with me on realistic exercises I could do at home. I felt significant improvement in flexibility and reduction of pain within a couple of sessions. I continued with a few more sessions to keep me on track and comfortable with the exercises. Dana was positive and encouraging. He tried a variety of different workouts to develop an exercise plan that was right for me. If I have any future physical therapy needs, I will definitely return to Endurance Physical Therapy. I have physical therapists and an athletic trainer in my extended family, and they have been impressed with the results. Endurance Physical Therapy is exceptional in their care! I can’t say enough good things about Dana, Landry,...

We are very grateful that we received a referral to work with Dana. He met our son post-injury, and after three previous rounds of physical therapy over the course of two years. Dan exceeded our expectations on many levels. First, he was very accommodating to our schedule and location. Second, from the moment meeting us he was very attuned to my son and his responses and our input as parents was secondary. His expertise and competence within the field of running outshined any previous physical therapy experience we have had. We plan to continue using his guidance to keep our son injury free, while also improving his overall running performance. Dana has been instrumental and...
