In late November 2025, I suffered a rare capitellar fracture after being pushed in a mosh pit. Before surgery, my surgeon told me it was a significant break and that there was a chance I may lose feeling in the arm or have other significant complications post-surgery. In late March 2026, my surgeon cleared me for full duty at work and said the progress I had made in physical therapy was amazing. Citing that he only saw injuries as severe as mine about twice a year, he indicated that most do not make such a strong recovery.
I contribute my successful recovery not only to my surgeon, but also to Dr. Ryan Fenton and his team of doctors at 1 on 1 Physical Therapy, who graciously took me in within 48 hours of having my cast removed. Over the following weeks, this team worked with me tirelessly, providing muscle work and exercises to help me regain full range of motion and control of my arm. The entire time they were friendly and attentive to my needs, ensuring that I would be able to enjoy the same activities I did prior to the break. It was such a great experience that I actually looked forward to my appointments and will miss seeing the doctors. I highly recommend this place for any physical therapy needs. If you follow their guidance, you will see results. Thank you 1 on 1 Physical Therapy for giving me my life back!
