3 Unbelievable Success Stories From Real People at Bounceback Physical Therapy

How life-changing relief happened after everything else failed

At Bounceback Physical Therapy in Hixson, TN, I offer more than just physical therapy—I offer transformation. Since opening in 2024, I’ve been honored to help people who’ve suffered for years finally get lasting relief—sometimes in a single session.
​
If you’re someone who’s tried everything (chiropractic, injections, generic PT) without success, these stories might sound too good to be true. But they’re real people, right here in our community, who found real results when their body was finally treated as a whole—not just a collection of symptoms.

1. 10 Years of Daily Back Pain Gone in One Visit

​This patient had lived with persistent mid-back pain for over a decade. She felt it with every deep breath and any time she rotated her spine. By the time she came to me, she had also developed lower back pain around her SI joint.
She had already:

• Seen two different chiropractors for years—only short-term relief.
• Worked in a pain management clinic and received imaging and minor scoliosis diagnosis.
• Tried traditional PT, but felt underwhelmed and unchanged.

During her evaluation, I noticed her pain was very specific—it worsened with deep breathing and changed depending on which way she turned her head. It pointed clearly to a rib dysfunction.

I performed a precise joint manipulation and gave her corrective exercises to keep the area mobile afterward.

The result? Complete relief--after just one visit. It’s now been over a year, and the pain hasn’t come back.

She later wrote:
“After years of waking up to an arresting pain and dreading moving my back, I wake up most mornings now with my first thought being – praise God, my back still doesn’t hurt anymore!”

2. Years of Knee Pain During Running—Gone in 4 Weeks

This woman in her 50s had been forced to give up running. Knee pain during workouts and daily activities made it impossible to enjoy movement, even though she was committed and working with a trainer.

After a thorough assessment, I diagnosed Jumper’s Knee (patellar tendinosis)—but also uncovered the why:

• Limited ankle mobility
• Underactive glutes
• Poor load distribution when running

We worked on the root causes through mobility work and neuromuscular retraining. Just four weeks later, she ran pain-free—smiling the entire time.
Her words? “I can’t believe I can run again. I honestly thought I was done.”

3. Chronic Lower Back Pain for 3.5 Years—Fixed in 3 Visits

​This client came in with constant lower back pain, scoring it a 7/10. It affected:

• Sleep
• Running
• Workouts
• Even standing still
  
  

She had done everything:

• 1.5 years of chiropractic care
• 1 year of spinal decompression (3x/week at one point!)
• Self-directed hip strengthening from online research
  
  

But nothing worked—until we looked deeper.

During my assessment, I found that while her mobility was great, her foot mechanics were completely off. Overpronated, unstable feet were silently contributing to her back pain.

We corrected her foundation first.

The result? After just three visits, she was sleeping pain-free, running without issues, and lifting again. Months later, her back was still 100% pain-free.

What Makes Bounceback Different?

Most of my patients come to me after trying everything else. What sets Bounceback apart is the focus on:

• Treating the root cause, not just managing symptoms
• Total-body assessments to find connections others miss
• One-on-one sessions with me, Dr. Chase Helgren, PT, DPT
• Hands-on therapy paired with customized movement programs
  
  

Many clients feel significantly better in just 1–3 sessions. And once the pain is gone, we go deeper to understand why it showed up in the first place—so it doesn’t come back.
