WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING “I was amazed at the rapid pace in which I started regaining motion and strength” “My experience at Superior PT was a wonderful experience! I had a reverse replacement shoulder surgery when I started and was planning the second surgery for the other shoulder as well. I was amazed at the rapid pace in which I started regaining my motion and strength in my left shoulder. At the same time, Brett and David also worked on my right shoulder in preparation for the second reverse replacement surgery. The preparation helped the surgery recovery for the right shoulder and I can’t thank them enough! I am able to hunt, I am sleeping through the night again and my shoulders are feeling great! I can’t thank Superior PT enough for the outstanding care I received.” DES I RAE WH I T I NG , PTA Desirae graduated from the Idaho State University Physical Therapy Assistant program in 2016.
