My walking is greatly improved! “Before therapy, I was very unbalanced and had a tilted walk, I had weak hip and leg muscles, poor over-all mobility and a poor core. Since therapy, my walking is greatly improved, I have gained leg and hip strength, I don’t get as tired when moving, my core has improved and I am in over-all greater health.” - B.G. I don’t use a walker or cane! “Before therapy, I was in a lot of pain. I was walking with a walker and had trouble exercising. Since therapy, I am almost pain free. I am back to working out at the YMCA. I don’t use a walker or cane! I can walk without any trouble. “Before therapy, I could only walk with my cane. It was difficult to get up and out of chairs. The stairs were hard to go up and down. Since therapy, I can walk around the house and yard without my cane. It is much easier now to get up out of chairs/bed. I’m able to water the flowers outside and keep my balance. I can get up and down the stairs much better than before.” - J.O. Thank you Advanced Physical Therapy!” - C.L. I can get up and down the stairs!
