2007 Pro Bowl cornerback Walt Harris, a native of LaGrange Georgia consulted with our Sports Performance doctor, Lou Pack this week. Recovering from an ACL injury to his right knee, Harris, drafted by the 49ers in 2006 where he led the team with a career-high of eight interceptions, has also played for the Redskins, Bears and Colts.
According to the good doctor, “Walt ranks right up there as being one of the nicest pros” he has ever treated. “He’s a religious fellow with great values and a real passion for people,” says Pack.
Bedsides treating Walt, Pack says he used the opportunity to discuss his Rotary Club’s 2nd Harvest Food Program. Harris was apparently touched and will work with Pack on seeing if he can get a similar program started in his home town of LaGrange.
Dr. Pack evaluates athletes at all levels, finding the inherent structural problems we all have (like a longer leg or flattened foot) and corrects those problems to increase performance, decrease injuries and risks of arthritis.
Athletes of all types seem to make their way to his office. He’s had Olympic Gold medalists, world record holders in various sports and a British Open and Master’s golf champion seek him out. And distance doesn’t seem to be a problem. Timberwolves, “Mad Dog” Mark Madsen, (formerly with the L.A. Lakers NBA Champions 2002, 2002) flew in from a trip in Barcelona, while World Champion Skier, Steve Omischl made the trek from Canada.
Dr. Pack practices full time at the MCG Medical Clinic at Reynolds Plantation. For further information please see his web site at www.drloupack.com or his blog at drloupack.blogspot.com. He can be reached at 706-454-0040.
