“Before physical therapy at Synergy, I had constant throbbing pain in my shoulder blade area. This pain prevented me from getting proper sleep, sitting for over one hour at a time, and getting much-needed exercise. Through massage therapy, directed therapeutic exercises, dry needling, and electric stimulation, I was able to sleep throughout the night, sit for long periods of time and continue an exercise regimen. Everyone from the check-in staff to the therapist and interns were very courteous and professional. I actually looked forward to my sessions because I felt very welcomed as well as comforted. With each visit, my pain decreased, and I was provided additional information of the “do’s and dont’s” to help improve my situation. I am particularly thankful to Annie Shrekhise for taking what seemed to be a personal interest in my well-being. I had previously visited two other facilities in the Shenandoah area, and Synergy was beyond a doubt the BEST physical therapy establishment around. Thank you ALL for being such caring individuals and helping me get back to my normal self. I feel super fantastic!” -Suzette S. WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING:
