Patient Success Spotlight “I can ride a bike... and I walk two miles every day!” “I started my Physical Therapy treatments one week after my full knee replacement surgery. I walked in with a cane and a limp. I met my Physical Therapist, Jen, who made me feel at ease and comfortable with my choice of a Therapy location. Over the course of 2 1/2 months, she tailored a program for my rehabilitation and as I progressed she would modify the exercises to my ability, always pushing for that little bit extra. I was so excited that first day when I was able to peddle forward on the bicycle, it felt like such a milestone. From then to now, I can ride a bike, get into and out of the car with no difficulty and I walk two miles every day. Although my therapy sessions are complete, Jen provided me with the tools to continue my therapy at home. Working with Jen was truly a pleasure. This was all accomplished during the Pandemic, so I am appreciative to the staff at FYZICAL Therapy for staying open and continuing to treat their patients.” — J.T. MICHAEL J.
