Thanks to the team at Activa I now have a full range of motion throughout my body, pain-free.” – Elisabeth B. I am back to normal! “Activa therapy has been my home for 6 months. I had a rotation cuff surgery on August 16th, 2018. When I first started my therapy I couldn’t do much with my right arm. I actually lost the use of it. I work at a place where you have to wear your hair up. That was the first task I couldn’t do; I had to wear my hair to the side. Eventually, as time went by I was able to manage the task. There were times I didn’t feel I was going to get back to the full use of my arm. With the care and motivation of the staff, I am back to normal.Thank you all so much!” – Lucy F. GetMoreExercise.
