What Our Clients Say
Today I am proud to say I can do steps, get down and up from the floor, and exercise in the gym. I loved being a patient at Professional Physical therapy. I was always greeted with a smile and made to feel comfortable no matter what. Before therapy, I couldn’t climb or go downstairs foot over foot. My leg raises, stretches, step work all helped in ensuring my recovery after meniscus surgery was successful. Everyone was good at listening to how I was feeling, knew how to help progress my treatment and treat me with dignity no matter how silly I looked doing my exercises. Today I am proud to say I can do steps, get down and up from the floor, and exercise in the gym which I couldn’t do before starting here. Thank you for my time here, I will miss you all, and seeing everyone 2x a week! I would not even consider going to any other Physical Therapy experts. I didn’t think my neck pain would ever be alleviated, but I’m happy to say, it most definitely has been! Prior to coming here, I had difficulty turning my head backwards when I needed to back out of a space and simply checking to see if anyone was in my blind spot while driving on a highway. That safety issue was concerning, but I have no trouble with either difficulty. I’ve been coming here for years for different reasons, particularly after surgeries! I would not even consider going to any other Physical Therapy experts, because the care I’ve gotten here has been so consistently excellent.
