PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT

“My FPTW story began in March 2012. I was in rehab after having my right hip replaced. Since then Butch and his staff have seen me through a left hip replacement, a right shoulder replacement, issues with sciatica and my achillies tendon and heaven only knows what other bumps in the road. I have come through every incident with flying colors. The staff at FPTW excels in getting you back in shape. The difference is that they do it while really “caring” for you. By that I mean that you are not just a patient. You are a person that needs therapy but you also need support, physical and emotional.

to know that if today’s session wasn’t as good as the last one, that it’s okay. It happens and that’s alright. We’ll just try to get back to that better session next time. If that exercise doesn’t work for you, we’ll try another one and if that doesn’t work there are still others that we will try. Vin went through days of modifying an exercise before we found a way that my shoulder would tolerate the stretching it needed. Each time I said I couldn’t do it he simply said we’ll try something different next time. Finally we found the right one. There was never a “you’re not trying hard enough” or “of course you can do it”. There was always concern and encouragement. Always the unspoken we’ll get through this and I’ll be with you to make sure we do. It is this special caring and support that makes FPTW the unique facility it is. I’m sure this is not the end of my FPTW story. I know they will be there the next time I need them.” - Anna W.
