Patient Stories

"For almost two years, walking down the stairs of our condo was painful. My orthopedic doctor said I had knee arthritis and suggested I start thinking about surgery eventually. Dr. Fely designed a gentle program for me — sit-to-stands, hip strengthening, gait work — and within three months I was walking around Greenbelt again without pain. I am 68 and I feel 58. Salamat po."

Rosario V. Makati · Knee osteoarthritis

"I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain from my BPO job for almost five years. I tried everything — massages, pain patches, even two rounds of imaging that showed nothing serious. Leo did a proper assessment, explained exactly why my back was flaring, and built me a program I could actually do between shifts. Six weeks later, the constant ache is gone. I only wish I had come sooner."

Miguel T. Mandaluyong · Chronic back pain

"Frozen shoulder is no joke. I could not reach my back to clasp my bra. I could not lift my son into his high chair. Dr. Nico's assessment was the first one that actually made sense to me — he explained stages of the condition and what we were doing at each step. It took five months of consistent work, but I have full range back. The clinic also coordinates beautifully with my HMO so billing was stress-free."

Jhoanna R. Quezon City · Frozen shoulder

"I tore my ACL playing football in BGC and had surgery at Makati Med. My surgeon recommended MotionPath for rehab. From day one, the team was in communication with my surgeon — progress notes, video of my range of motion, everything. I was back to light jogging at 4 months and playing again at 9. I did not realize how big a role a good PT clinic plays after surgery until I saw the difference it made in my recovery."

Gabriel S. Pasig · ACL post-surgery rehab

"At 55, I started getting sharp pain on the outside of my hip every time I walked more than a few minutes. Two doctors told me it would eventually go away on its own. Nine months later, it had only gotten worse. Fely diagnosed it as hip bursitis and took a completely different approach — glute strengthening, gait coaching, and some hands-on work. Within two months the pain was gone. I now hike Tagaytay on weekends with my husband again."

Maritess D. Taguig · Hip bursitis

"I was rear-ended in traffic along Alabang-Zapote and had whiplash that would not quit. Headaches daily, stiff neck, numbness down my right arm some days. Dr. Marianne's team combined manual therapy, dry needling, and a neck rehab program that was progressed properly week by week. After eight sessions I was about 80% better; at twelve sessions I was back to normal. Honestly the best healthcare experience I have had in Manila."
