What Our Clients Say
From day 1 I could tell the staff truly cares and works as a team to help their patients. After an auto-injury left me with a lot of middle back pain and discomfort (on top of my pre-existing neck pain) I was happy to have selected PPT for my therapy. From day 1 I could tell the staff truly cares and works as a team to help their patients. They worked closely with me through challenges and discomfort, and always at my speed. I feel even better than before the accident now. Great team. I know what to do to remain pain-free. I’m not sure how I injured my shoulder but I had been in pain for about two years. I saw an AD on Facebook for a Free Shoulder Pain Workshop at Professional Physical Therapy.
It was very informative and I decided to try therapy. From the beginning of the Free Discovery Visit, it helped. I was in less pain and learned what not to do along with exercises to improve my shoulder. In the end, I feel 95% better and now know what to do to remain pain-free.
