Kim Decker2025-03-19You know how runners talk about their “running journeys”? For, like, EVER, my running journey had been one of fits and starts—two steps forward and one (or three) steps back. I’d start on a sound and sober training program with gradual progression of volume and intensity, I’d do the strength and conditioning, I’d warm up even before the easy runs and stretch after—TLDR, I’d do all the right things. And yet still: I’d hurt. I wasn’t getting injured per se; rather, I’d get into a running groove until—all of a sudden—some random part of my lower body would just fall off a cliff of pain for no reason and I’d blame the running and stop… …Until I couldn’t help myself and I’d start again. And so the pattern would repeat itself. Thankfully, the last time this cycle got spinning again, my running coach pointed me to Avid Sports Medicine. Unlike any of the docs, chiros, PTs, bodywork specialists—you name ‘em—whom I’d consulted before about this pain cycle, Avid’s Dr. Jow and Julieta weren’t just able to figure out what was causing my troubles (can anyone say “scoliosis”?!); they helped me address that cause with exercises that I can do in the comfort and privacy of my own home. And guess what: They work! About a year and a quarter after first winding up in Avid’s office convinced that my body just wasn’t compatible with running—but still too stubborn to give up—I ran my first half marathon last weekend and got sixth place in my age group out of a total of 142 women. And that t felt bloody GREAT! I honestly owe it to Julieta’s expertise and wisdom—and, okay, to my own consistency in doing my exercises daily. It takes dedication. But it’s so worth it if it means I can run, challenge myself and get better—without pain. Thank you, Avid!

Katie Kelly2024-10-08As someone who has dealt with chronic hip and lower back pain for the past four years, including one unsuccessful hip surgery, failed physical therapy treatments and a decrease in many of my daily activities, I was desperate for a remedy to the discomfort I was feeling. As I was hesitantly about to schedule a second surgery, I stumbled upon shock wave therapy as a non-invasive alternative to surgery. I aligned with the concept of stimulating the body’s natural healing process by relieving pain and releasing growth factors in injured tissue. At Avid Sports Medicine I was so impressed with the blended approach Dr. Veronica and lead athletic trainer Julieta provide to their patients. A combination of shock wave therapy treatments to help heal the physical body as well as physical therapy exercises to help heal our thoughts, habits and mindset around our injuries. This interconnected mind-body approach allowed me to naturally face the root cause of a lot of my injuries and re-correct my movements for increased strength, stability and confidence as I slowly started working my daily exercises back into my life. I recently completed my sessions with Avid Sports Medicine and am blown away by the results – in just seven weeks my hip has regained mobility, and the chronic pain has gone away. I now feel I have the tools to continue my healing journey, I am forever grateful to this team! Avid Sports Medicine has a very talented and amazing team, great facilities and an overall fantastic patient experience. For anyone looking for a natural, non-invasive option to tackle any pain you are experiencing - this is absolutely the place for you. Thank you, Avid Sports Medicine, for all your help!
Brandy Sykes2024-05-09I’ve been a patient at AVID for 2 years now and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Joes and the avid team! They are kind, caring and professional. I’ve had shockwave and PRP for some long standing terrible pains and now I’m like a new person, my pain is completely resolved. I still return here and there for classes or PT. Highly recommended.
Sam Test Cauthen2024-05-09Dr. Jow is not just the best sports medicine experts I’ve seen, but also one of the very best medical professional I’ve visited. She listens and sees you, asks questions and is exceedingly knowledgeable. At the same time, she treats you like a genuine partner in your rehab.
Andrew Strickman2024-04-30I came to Dr. Jow and her team when I suffered a groin injury. In addition to great 'bedside manner,' Dr. Jow brought in a physical therapist on staff to help me develop a curated exercise plan at home to assure that I would recover and get back to my activity as soon as possible. It worked, and I have been pain free for over a year.
Iris Fluellen2024-04-04I love them! Dr. Jow, Julieta and Leesha have kept me fit for almost 4 years. Their workouts are amazing. I had hip replacement surgery 8 months ago. I know my speedy recovery has much to do with the fitness training they provide. I highly recommend Avid Sports Medicine. They're also tons of fun.
