WHAT OUR PAT I ENTS ARE SAY I NG : “Monique Beeko brought me optimal recovery from a challenging knee replacement surgery with first-rate therapy. The amount of time she spent with me, the hands-on therapy she provided with skilled hands, and the exercises she guided me through all helped me recover and get back to hiking. Connecting to the whole person, Monique is able to converse personally and sensitively. She always confers, prescribes, and instructs diplomatically while also responding with genuine care and a lovely sense of humor that put me at ease. She could sense when it was time to stay the course and when it was time to add exercises or encourage pushing more in doing some exercises. I would go back to Monique in a heartbeat. In fact, I plan to do that for my second knee replacement surgery next year and also for a yearly “movement assessment physical.” Beyond Monique, the rest of the staff at SPORTS Therapy were welcoming, warm, and professional. I should mention that this treatment is not my first time at this practice. Over the last ten years or so, I had therapy for a strained hip and strengthening exercises to help with knee and hip pain. I have had an excellent experience each time with other therapists at this practice; I wouldn’t go anywhere else for physical therapy.” - Shirley M.
When we remodeled our facility, we endeavored to develop a clinic which is open and inviting. The color scheme and art work were included to encourage a safe-healing environment. Besides being beautiful it is extremely functional with 3200 square feet of clinical treatment area.
