INSTRUCTIONS • 2 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
“The staff was great and very professional.” Success Story: Lucinda L. “I came to STAR PT due to foot pain that regular medication was not helping. It kept me from doing daily tasks that I would normally be able to do with no problem. I had trouble getting out of my vehicle, working a full day, getting up after sitting, and jogging. Now I can run up to three miles twice a week. After therapy I can now run, jog, and get out of the vehicle, and work a full day with no pain. The staff was great and very professional.”
