PATIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHTS I got better quicker than I had expected! “Before I came to Back To Action I had difficulty with walking for long distances and could not run as fast. I couldn’t play soccer because I had pain on my left knee. When I went for therapy at Back To Action I got better quicker than I had expected. Now I can run and play soccer again with no pain to my knee plus, I am stronger than before.” -GaelS. I am so pleased with my results! “I came to physical therapy in very bad shape. I had severe knee pain and could hardly walk. I was seriously thinking I was going to need to remodel my bathroom because I could not get in and out of my bathtub, and was going to require surgery. My orthopedic surgeon injected my knees and sent me to physical therapy and in just 3 weeks, I have had so much improvements. I can walk and move with little pain and feel so much better. I literally came in one person and left like another. I am so pleased with my results! Thank you!” - Andrea F.
