Patient Results

My walking has much improved! Before therapy, I had fallen twice and had a lot of trouble walking. My balance was way off kilter. Since therapy, my walking has much improved, and my balance is way better. I will continue to work on my home exercise program they individualized just for me.” -G.B. I feel a lot safer when I walk! Before therapy, I was stumbling, shuffling, and falling when I walk. I had little coordination over any of my movements. Since therapy, all is much better. I still fall occasionally but not near as often. I feel a lot safer when I walk.” - J.B. I have regained my strength! Before therapy, I had difficulty walking and being on my feet for a long period of time. Since therapy, I have been able to walk without a limp and am walking normal now. I have regained my strength, and it feels so great! I appreciate all the professional therapy I have received– the staff have been great in helping me achieve my goals. So grateful that I choose to go to APT.” - B.H.
