“ I cannot thank the TEAM at ProMotion enough for all of their hard work and dedication to me individually.” “I am writing this to express my sincere appreciation to the TEAM at ProMotion Rehab and Sports Medicine. From my first phone call to my discharge, the TEAM was courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I needed physical therapy after my surgery to repair a torn meniscus. When I first called the office and spoke to Andrew, I knew that I made the right choice in choosing ProMotion. He was kind, understanding, and very helpful in setting up a schedule that worked for me. During my first visit, Nicole conducted my evaluation. She was compassionate, friendly, and attentive. During my 20+ appointments, her approach remained consistent. She is a very thorough and professional. She listened to all of my concerns and was able to assist and answer with professionalism and mindfulness. Her attention to detail was also duly noted, she took time to ensure I was not just “going through the motions” but ensured my exercises achieved their desired results. Nicole and the TEAM were there each step of the way to ensure my safety and at the same time, pushed me to be certain that I was challenged. I cannot thank the TEAM at ProMotion enough for all of their hard work and dedication to me individually. As a former coach, you all make a great TEAM!!!”
