I came to CCMC PT for severe pain in my low back and buttocks after throwing rocks. The painwas going down my leg. The therapist was very encouraging, thoughtful and caring. Each visit I felt improvement and learned a lot about exercises and using my body properly. Since my treatments, I am actually paying more attention in how I do physical activities and protecting my body. I would recommend CCMC PT to others seeking physical therapy. Very friendly therapists with great personalities AND asked what kind of music I like! Oldies - so they played it! - Ardith M.
