Patient Success Story
I’m Now Back To The Gym And Working Out!
“Hi, I’m Jim Thornton and I just completed my PT program at Mid-Michigan PT about a month ago, while I’m now back to the gym and working out! As a HVAC guy, my job is quite active and requires that I am able to reach and lift overhead throughout the day. Over many years, this can create a lot of wear and tear on your shoulders. (It’s also hard on your back and knees, but that’s another story!) Anyhow, about mid way through 2016, I started to experience left shoulder pain on a daily basis, which continued to persist. A trip to the orthopedic surgeon and a MRI confirmed my worst fear: I had a rotator cuff tear, which would require surgery, while I would be out of work for up to 3 months! After my surgery, knowing (having BCBSM) that I could choose anywhere for my Physical Therapy, I contacted Mid-Michigan PT for an appointment. To be honest, I wouldn’t go anywhere else! (Over the years, they have successfully treated my neck, back, knees…they really know what they’re doing!) So, I started my PT and on the first day, they outlined my entire program including what I had to do at home. Well, I made a textbook recovery. Every week, I steadily improved. My shoulder motion increased every week and then my strength improved. After about 10-12 weeks, I had little to no pain in my shoulder, I was able to reach overhead and lift light weights to shoulder level with ease and I was able to get back to work. Awesome, right? When asked about Mid-Michigan PT, I tell people: “There is no better place to go for PT, while with regard to my shoulder I could not be happier with how it now feels!” - Jim T.
