Bay Laurel Athletics

"I've been lifting weights for a long time and have never had a back injury before. One day I was deadlifting a set near my max and suddenly I felt a pop. Immediately my back started hurting. I could hardly stand up. Every movement hurt. I reached out to Bay Laurel Athletics and luckily they had an appointment available. I was able to do a virtual visit where Dr. Laurel Mines assessed me over video, diagnosed, and guided me very calmly through three exercises that immediately gave me relief. During this whole time, I was in pain, embarrassed, felt vulnerable, and was surrounded by other people at the gym. She reassured me and calmly led me through the exercises. I highly recommend Dr. Laurel for your physical therapy needs. She's no-nonsense, compassionate, and keenly insightful to what you need physically and mentally. Just one session and I got immediate relief and it put me back on track for the sprint triathlon I'm training for."

"We enrolled our daughter (12) into a 6 week program with Bay Laurel Athletics after months of seeing her struggle with a mental block during her softball games. Our daughter would mentally shut down and not be able to finish games due to her mental state. She met virtually with Laurel (since we are on the East Coast) and set up weekly virtual zoom calls. After the first half the program, we witnessed a shift in her mindset and by the time she completed the program, she was capable of meeting her goals and rise above her mental struggles. During this time, Dr. Laurel was able to equip our daughter with the necessary mental tools she was missing. Without Dr. Laurel’s program, I believe she would still be struggling. We cannot thank her enough for the time she invested as well as the communication. Her flexibility was a big bonus for us. I highly recommend reaching out to Bay Laurel Athletics if your athlete needs guidance or help reaching their goals both on/off the field. We are so glad we did!"

"I was in search for better physical therapy work, than what was provided by my health care provider. My son is a young student athlete and had ACL surgery at 12 years old. At the near 1 year mark, he was not recovering at the speed he should have been. I search and then found Dr. Laurel Mines and we did an evaluation. With in a few months my son made huge strides in his recovery. She got his knee to bend further and helped my son with a mental block he had around it. After our time together she helps us both transition him back on the field, with the right group of coaches. My son had 7 on 7 football tryouts, as a first come back after a year of being off the field. Dr. Laurel came to watch him, to see how he is performing and look at his progress. This was a really nice surprise and shows that she really cares about her patients. We are so great for all of her knowledge to help my son to the next step of his ACL recovery and rehab. My son at 13 felt incredibly confident in Dr. Laurel works. She made him feel comfortable and relaxed during their sessions. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Laurel to anyone that needs the better care in physical therapy."

"My husband and I noticed that our daughter was feeling extremely stressed when it came to meet days as a cross country runner. We knew there were some mindset things going on, but she wasn't really open to getting any advice from her parents—you know how it goes. That's when I met Dr. Laurel. After chatting just one time, I knew she could provide the help our daughter needed. I'm so glad we hired her because the results have been amazing. I also liked that when our daughter missed a session last minute because of poor planning, Dr. Laurel kindly called her out, reminding her of their agreement and of the cancelation policy. Now, our teen is excited for every race. Plus, she PRed on her home course two weeks ago. The difference has been amazing! Don't think about it, hire her now!"

"Dr. Laurel is a wonderful physical therapist who really knows her stuff. I had been struggling with lower body mobility for a long time and had heard the same routine stuff from other professionals. Dr. Laurel's profound understanding of the human body allowed her to explain the root cause of my issues and how to address them properly and effectively. Both my performance at the gym as well as my day to day life has improved from the advice and information I received from Dr. Laurel. Her willingness to help is evident during the meetings as she wants to see her patients succeed. If you are in need of physical therapy, I highly recommend Dr. Laurel."
