No matter how I am feeling — or if I am not feeling up to PT at all — she finds a way to engage me and get my muscles moving to ensure each visit is beneficial. Because I get the one-on-one care for the whole hour, Jan takes the time to listen and ensure I am doing my part to keep my progress going in the right direction.“
