Local Physical Therapy Testimonial

Ted was extremely helpful in assessing the nature of my shoulder pain and recommending a plan to rehab & return to normal lifting.

I was able to recover within 2 months of working with Ted and have been lifting pain free using his strengthening & mobility protocols.

He was also kind enough to connect with my coach to implement his recommendations into my programming, so everyone was on the same page to help my recovery.

Furthermore, we only required 1 session to diagnose and make the recovery plan. Well worth the time and money spent!

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

Before I started working with Ted i have been having nagging medial knee pain for over a year. I couldn’t squat or do any weightlifting movements without dull pain. Mostly I was terrified of putting any load on that knee. I took a long break from weightlifting and did lots of bodybuilding focusing on making my posterior chain stronger because I thought that would fix the issue. However it didn’t and I’m thankful to stumble upon Ted who helped me out tremendously. He is very attentive, understanding and compassionate. He was very positive and had an upbeat attitude helping me believe that my body is resilient and not broken. My pain is almost non-existent now and I can squat and do weightlifting. All the rehab exercises Ted prescribed for me help my knee get stronger and healthier. I would highly recommend his service.

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

Dr. Ted has been my fitness coach/rehab coach since July 2019. I originally approached him due to pain and tingling in my right thigh during squatting. Through videoconferencing, he conducted an initial assessment of my body movements/etc., diagnosed my source of pain/discomfort, and prescribed a set of stretches to increase my mobility/flexibility. After 3-4 weeks, my pain during squatting disappeared and hasn’t returned since.

What I like best about Dr. Ted is that he listens to and thinks carefully about what your goals are because he truly cares about helping you achieve them. He’s accessible through multiple avenues of communication. He provides feedback through videos of your lifts, asks about your workout after each one through messaging, and makes changes based on what your share with him.

He patiently listens to and solicits ongoing feedback while maintaining a calm and positive demeanour. He helps you cognitively reframe your behaviour when you’re feeling down or unmotivated to help keep you on track. In less than 6 months, I’ve gained several inches of muscle everywhere including achieving 2.5” of growth in my glutes.

I recommend him highly if you need a professional with a rare mix of physical therapy knowledge, lifting experience, and motivational techniques who will provide a holistic exercise program that you can trust to keep you physically safe while optimizing your physique goals and maintaining your motivation.

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

I had severe shoulder soreness earlier this year that made it really hard to press, snatch, and split jerk. I tried to find weightlifting competent PTs in my area, but one was absolutely terrible at communication and the other suggested that I consider giving up CrossFit and weightlifting because both activities “cause a lot of injuries.”

Not satisfied with my options, I messaged Dr. Lim and made an appointment for a virtual screening (don’t let location keep you from finding adequate WL prehab/rehab support). Dr. Lim then built a weekly program that was simple enough to do earlier in the day or immediate after a weightlifting workout along with my accessories.

In weeks, I was pressing, snatching and split jerking without pain and with improved lockout and strength. Dr. Lim communicated with me several times a week and helped troubleshoot movements or answer any questions I had. By the end of our time working together, I ended a peak cycle that got me a #8 snatch PR and #12 PR for clean and jerk.

If pain and access to weightlifting-competent health specialists are preventing you from lifting, I highly recommend you contact Dr. Lim.

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

“Ted has helped me with everything from resolving hand and wrist pain from over-gripping in jiujitsu, to nerve pain in my hip from a lifelong genetic issue that kept me from squatting for years. He is always excited to hear about my progress and responds quickly with on-the-fly updates to my plan. I’ve seen him as-needed for years, and I don’t know what I’d do without him!”

I had an ACL tear and had done PT in the months immediately after the injury. However, 1.5 years after injury, I still had significant differences in the strength and stability of my knee and it was affecting my daily life, strength training, and hobbies. Ted worked with me with carefully-selected exercises and encouragement and now my knee is super strong! Thrilled with the results!

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

Before I contacted Ted I was struggling with constant knee pain and a really frustrating lack of movement. It had been a long-term on-and-off injury that seemed to have become permanent. I had tried rehabbing it myself with my own knowledge and the advice of other fitness professionals I know, but I kept getting put off by the pain I was experiencing.
Ted managed to put my pain in perspective and gave me confidence to improve my range of movement. From the initial consultation to the final week of the programme, he displayed an attention to detail that has brought me so much closer to my goal of returning to weightlifting and basketball.
If you’re struggling to make sense of an injury or need to know how to prevent it recurring, do not hesitate to get in touch with Ted.

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

“Before working with Ted, I was dealing with a nagging right shoulder injury that caused pain and pronounced weakness, affecting my overhead strength and stability in the oly lifts. After 6 weeks with a different physical therapist I saw no results, and if anything a decrease in performance. When I came to Ted, he immediately introduced a challenging but not overwhelming program that emphasized progressive overload. He identified my weaknesses and directly attacked them with specific exercises. In rehab coaching, Ted is to-the-point, never sugar coats anything, and is always available for feedback. After just 3.5 weeks, I saw vast improvements in strength, to the point of my right shoulder being as strong as my left. If you want to jumpstart your rehab and/or training, don’t waste time and go see Dr. Ted!”

Rehab Coaching Testimonial

I started working with Dr. Lim as I was gearing up for a competition. I was four weeks out and I felt like my body was crumbling on itself. I was dealing with pain in my shoulder, low back, and my hip. My hip pain was so bad I wasn’t able to squat heavier than 85%.

Dr. Lim helped me understand why the pain was happening, took me through a comprehensive video assessment, and built a personalized plan to address all three concerns. After each week, I received feedback and the plan was updated. On top of that, he was accessible and answered any question that came up.

After four weeks, my low back pain was gone and my hip/shoulder pain was limited. I was able to squat heavy again and had a good competition! Now I have the knowledge to keep working on fixing those spots and to improve my longevity.

I highly recommend working with Dr. Lim, even virtually, if you’re an athlete that is getting ready for a competition and you want every competitive edge possible or to simply feel better!

Local Physical Therapy Testimonial

I worked with Dr. Lim for 3 months after throwing my back out deadlifting. We immediately started bolstering my confidence getting back under a barbell and slowly adding load through programming and rehab exercises. I really felt that Dr. Lim’s experience as a coach and weightlifter added to his skills as a PT, and I always felt challenged but not defeated with his exercises. His programming was fun, progressive, and tailored exactly to what I wanted to do. By the end of our time together I was feeling great and ready to keep lifting without fearing pain or feeling burnt out again!
