What Our Clients Say
The rotation of therapists was awesome as each has a strength and different perspective to healing. My left knee has had 4 surgeries- all many years ago. I had a few incidents where it began to bother and trouble me with lots of pain and swelling. I received a cortisone shot and prescription for PT. I had major rotator cuff/bicep surgery. When I first came to PT, I needed help getting my arm in and out of my sling. Now I can do everything I could do prior to the injury. I couldn’t have done this without their help.
The Free Discovery Visit with Sue K gave me hope and I jumped right in. The rotation of therapists was awesome as each has a strength and different perspective to healing. The positive encouragement and weekly additional exercises to my plan made what I thought was a long road a very manageable recovery journey. Thank you all so much!”
