Back to heavy bench press at 65 after shoulder impingement

I recieved physical therapy (PT) services from Dr. Michael Duffy through Zenith for several weeks. My shoulder was injured from overzealous bench pressing. I'm 65 year old (F) that loves lifting weights - but I overdid it and developed a painful shoulder impingement. The first PT I went to was a generalist, that said "well, stop bench pressing". This was unacceptable to me, as I've known many people with worse injuries that were able to return to heavy weightlifting. I am so glad I found Dr. Duffy and Zenith. Dr. Duffy took my desire to continue lifting heavy seriously, despite being old enough for Medicare! Because Zenith doesn't go through insurance, we had free rein to deal with my shoulder, in addition to other issues that cropped up. I was given a Home Exercise Plan as a PDF that summarized the exercises I needed to do, and Dr. Duffy answered all my questions thoroughly. By the time treatment had finished, I had learned SO MUCH about how to move forward with less risk of injury. All staff that I dealt with were professional and friendly.

I am back to bench press finally and with what I have learned from Dr. Duffy, I am confident I can go forth and NOT injure myself. We were also able to head off some problems with my hips, which means I can squat heavy without another injury in the future. While I hope I don't have to call on them again, I will in a heartbeat if necessary. Five stars easy!
