Josh Willingham Had Back Rehabilitation with Dr.

I went to see Dr. Robert Watkins at the Marina Spine Center because I had heard of his experience in spine issues and I needed the best hands on the matter. I went through an examination and pretty much right away he told that the problem was a herniated disc but that surgical intervention was a last resort and that we would together focus getting my strength back.

I was willing to do anything. Dr. Watkins had this core program that measured strength and he told me that I was at a level 1 kind of strength and that in his experience healthy professional sports players are at like a 5. It was a reality check, to say the least, but I’m thankful it occurred because as unpleasant it is to know you have issues, it also means you're one step closer to a solution.
