Spinal Stenosis, Don't Let it Stop You

Patient Results

I am a completely different person!

I’m thankful for your commitment with me! “I was in significant pain prior to surgery and immediately following. Within 3 weeks I could see progress and was encouraged. My biggest motivation to regain my maximum usage of left arm/shoulder was to help Gordan - my husband. The Advanced Physical Therapy staff has been exceptional. Appointments are prompt, friendly staff, and very caring. I’m thankful for your commitment with me to regain my left arm. BIG thanks to Morgan!!!” - J.H.

“I have been in major pain for more than five years. I did not know how much it restricted me. But now APT has given me my life back. The people around me say I am a completely different person, (even my kids and mother.) I thank you all for helping me get back to life. I could not have done it without your care and knowledge.” - K.S. Child's Pose Preparation:

Quite An Accomplishment Recently we celebrated Randy graduating from therapy. Randy came to Advanced Physical therapy in a wheel chair. He was unable to walk. Eventually they figured out that it was the medicine that was causing him to digress. Once he stopped the medicine he slowly started progressing. The goal was to have Randy walk his daughter down the aisle with a walker. His daughter was married June 18th. Unfortunately, Randy was unable to walk her down the aisle because they had just laid newly sodded grass down. He was however able to dance with her and was able to dance with just a cane. Randy said, “I would never have been able to walk if it weren’t for Morgan or Stef. I have been with many other physical therapists, but I should have just started here at Advanced Physical Therapy. Thanks to them I am out of the wheel chair and able to walk.” Before Randy left he said, “I feel like a kid going to college. It feels like family here.” Great job Randy! We are going to miss you and look forward to you stopping by to grab a cup of coffee and/or to just let us know how you are doing. Success Story: “When I came to Advanced Physical Therapy I was in a wheel chair, too weak to do much of anything. They worked out a plan to get me stronger and slowly we worked together to achieve my goal. Everyone treated me like family. Morgan was my therapist and she was great, always pushing me. Stefanie was my PTA, together we worked through every movement, she never gave up on me. Today I’m happy to say I am walking out with the help of my cane. Goodbye wheelchair! Do what I did, come here first, you won’t regret it! Thank you everyone
