Client Success Story: Phil’s Triumph Over Knee Pain 

Phil started working with Longevity two and a half years ago and was motivated by the desire to fix his body and get back to running and playing rugby. Chronic right knee pain had stopped him from being able to run and move with confidence.

Phil’s journey began with Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Kale Barton-Bissaker, who helped him map out a clear path to recovery. From day one, Phil was all in. He put his full trust in Kale’s expertise and committed to attending regular exercise physiology sessions each week. It wasn’t easy, but Phil’s perseverance paid off. Today, he’s not just managing his knee pain – he’s thriving.

Fast forward to today, and Phil is back to sprinting with minimal knee pain. His upper and lower body strength have dramatically increased, and he is even back on the touch football field, playing the game he loves. 

“My goal is very simple: do exactly as you [Kale] say. Being someone turning on 40 and coming here every week and getting better and better. I haven’t felt this good in decades.” 

When Phil first joined Longevity, his primary goal was clear: regaining control over his knee pain. But once he conquered that challenge, his goals expanded. No longer just focused on pain management, Phil is now aiming for something even bigger: a return to competitive rugby and a lifetime of being an active father.
