Thank you for your service and this wonderful testimonial. I served in the Army & Airforce and injured my knee jumping out of a helicopter in 1989. I broke my leg and it never quite healed right. It ended up really messing up my left knee. I was scheduled for a knee replacement before lockdowns which had to be postponed, which ended up really hurting my right knee and causing both knees to need to be replaced. I love to hike, but I was in pain because of my knees. The VA authorized me to see a civilian doctor who did my left knee replacement. The surgery went very well – but my recovery was a different story. The day after my surgery I was in a lot of pain. I ended up needing to take narcotics to deal with the pain. I was having to lift my leg up with a strap and had no strength in my leg. Then my ROMTech Rehab System was delivered, and it changed everything overnight. The first day using it I did 5 therapy sessions on the device and felt great, my pain was gone, and I was able to stop taking narcotics entirely, and I haven’t taken any since. I kept doing 5 therapy sessions a day on the device. When I had my first outpatient physical therapy appointment at my local clinic, I was able to perform a full leg lift, and all my other exercises with no problems at all. My physical therapy went so much better because I already had my range of motion in place. When I went into my follow-up visit with my Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Nicholas Kennedy, I didn’t need to use a walker, cane, or anything. He was happy with the results, and so was my physical therapy team.  If I had to choose just one thing to use for recovery after surgery, I would choose the ROMTech PortableConnect, over anything else, including physical therapy. It made the most impact in my post-surgery therapy. There was no pain involved at all using the machine, and before you know it, you're sitting there pumping away with no problem at all. It’s amazing. Behind my house is a large mountain, and it’s a six-mile round-trip hike. Earlier today I just did that hike, and my left leg had no problems at all. I have a friend who had their knee replaced and it’s still not the same. After their surgery they were taking narcotics for a whole month. I showed them the device while I was recovering, and they wished they had been able to use the ROMTech Portable Connect for their recovery. I would more than 100% recommend it to anyone getting their knee replaced.    Robbie Fitzgerald  US Veteran  Served in the Army & Air Force  Washington State
