“I amback to walking, doing laundry & dishes, even grocery shopping.” “I was having severe back pain in mid-section. It zapped the strength right out of me. I couldn’t do much of anything it hurt so much (walking, laundry, housework, dishes). I started coming for PT about a month ago and after the first visit I had some relief and it got progressively better. I am back to walking, doing laundry & dishes, even grocery shopping.Thank you so much Dr. Steve & Josh.” Dorothy Fortier
