I was in a lot of pain but I was glad that I was able to do the telehealth call. It helped relieve my pain and it was almost like being in the facility.” - Thelma F. “My E-visit has been most beneficial with helping to improve my neck and back strength along with keeping my pain at bay with the new exercise program.” - Mark W.

“The entire team is great, they treat you like family.”
Success Story: Laura H. “I came to Star Physical Therapy after attending a workshop for shoulder pain. It was the best thing I had ever done. My shoulder pain is gone and I don’t need surgery on my shoulder. So once I finished with the shoulder they started on my back pain, now I feel like wonder woman. Once the team is finished they will start on my knees. The entire team is great, they treat you like family.” - Genia Davis
