Delos Therapy has some amazing clients with extraordinary stories and we want to take the time to share their success with our therapy. Meet Kevin Sager, a high school track and field runner who was almost sidelined with an injury and has now achieved both personal and school records. Read his interview to find out his amazing transformation since starting Delos.
How did you hear about Delos?
KS: A good family friend of ours had been going to Delos Therapy and was happy with his results.
What issues brought you to Delos?
KS: I have run track and field as a sprinter all throughout high school. My junior year, I had two bad hamstring injuries, one in each leg. By the beginning of my senior year track season, my hamstrings didn’t seem to be fully recovered even though I put lots of time and effort into getting back to 100%. I was desperately looking around for a way to fix my tight muscles.
What types of treatments did you try before coming to Delos?
KS: Like most athletes, I first tried traditional physical therapy. While I found it to be beneficial, it got to a point where I was no longer improving. I got to a level where I could comfortably sprint about half the time, but my hamstrings would still frequently tighten up and make me nervous that I would hurt myself again. Eventually I began looking for a different type of treatment.
What improvements have you made since starting Delos Therapy?
KS: I began noticing improvement after just a couple sessions. After a few weeks, my hamstring muscles were softer to the touch and I could sprint at full speed without feeling any tightness in my legs. Coming to Delos about 3 times a week during track season kept me feeling loose and fast all the way to the State finals. I concluded my senior year at Neuqua Valley High School as a State Champion in the 4 x 200m relay and State runner-up in the 4 x 400m relay, breaking the school record in both events.
What would you say to someone who hasn’t tried Delos Therapy?
KS: When I first heard of [Delos Therapy], I was a little skeptical because I had already worked with highly regarded athletic therapists and was not getting the desired results. “Why would Delos work when other experts’ methods have not?” After the first session, it was clear to me that Delos is a completely different approach from what I was used to. I definitely recommend it to anybody who has issues that just seem impossible to fix. There’s a good chance Delos will fix it.
Tell us something unique about you.
KS: I played football for 11 years straight, mostly as a running back, and never suffered more than very minor injuries. Track and Field has given me way more injuries, some of which were very hard to deal with. Most people would think that running is safe and that playing football is one of the most dangerous sports. I think that my determination to succeed in sports caused me to over-train for track, which put a lot of stress on my body. While I need to learn the limits, the determination that I gained from sports is a valuable skill that I will carry over into other areas of my life in the future.
