Because of her help, I am still able to live a normal and active life. She is so encouraging at every step and even points out when progress is made. Kathy always has realistic expectations for each client, depending on age, level of activity, and personal goals. She is always encouraging and keeps each patient on the course she has mapped out for them. At the end of each scheduled course of therapy, Kathy has always made me feel welcome to return to Rebound on an as-needed basis – and I have! Kathy has helped me become a true "success story" innumerable times, more times than I can count, as she has been my PT for more years than either of us wants to admit to.

I have continued to work with Kathy because of the many qualities she exemplifies as the professional and friend that she is, and I will miss her so much as she retires! Kathy is kind, caring, positive, and ever so pleasant with her clients. She also is always professional and knowledgeable, no matter the orthopedic problem each person presents with. Kathy has helped me many times after my various surgeries, from shoulder to knee, or from hip to back. There have been other times that I have been here for recurring painful episodes that happen to many of us as we go through life.
OCTOBER IS... NATIONAL PT MONTH! I can confidently say that there is not an Orthopedic Outpatient Physical Therapist in Topeka who has cared for more patients than Kathy Selig!

Here Is What I Have to Say About That:
1. Physicaltherapy ismostbeneficial whenusedbeforean issuebecomes chronic and even as a means to prevent future injury. Your physical therapist can provide you an exercise regimen tohelpstrengthenyourbody and keep joints healthy, flexible, and moving properly. Exercising regularly canhelpyouunderstandproper lifting mechanics and their importance in everyday life. Practicing proper posture can prevent many different types of injuries. 2. The best thing that you can do is seek treatment as immediately following the development of your pain as possible. Muscle aches and joint pain tend to grow worse over time. The longer you let your pain go
untreated, the more severe the pain is likely to become and more difficult to heal. Physical therapy can have a huge impact on alleviating pain from muscleand jointaches,but theearlier you start, the better off you will be. 3. Physical therapy is the best strategy to overcome chronic pain and is helpful at all ages. About 30% of adults over 18 struggle with chronic back pain, and that number is even higher for those who are over 65. Turning to pain medication only masks the pain without addressing the issue—meaning the pain always comes back. Your physical therapist will tailor therapy methods to your needs, helping you achieve the best results possible.
