Patient Success Spotlight
I am 100%better!
“In early December, I strained my upper lumbar by lifting a heavy object. The pain continued to increase as I attempted to do normal work and social activities, to the point I could hardly function or sleep well. I began PT with my physical therapist, Jason Candler, who made a progressive treatment plan for me. Each treatment, along with doing the recommended stretches and exercise daily, steadily corrected the problem. Now I am very happy and thankful to say that these awesome therapists at Kinetix are tops because I am 100% better! Thank you, Jason and Team!” -Julie G.
