What PatientsAre Saying?
Patient with chronic back, pelvic and tailbone pain...
“When I came to Providence, I had severe pain in my back, pelvis, sit bones, and tailbone from a fall I took skiing. The pain made difficult to sit
and work, and I had stopped doing all workouts. It was scary! Regular PT failed to help and I was worried I may never feel better. But that all changed. When I finally got to the experts at Providence PT who really understand the spine and pelvis and how to treat the whole area, I got better. They have excellent hands-on skills, but your PT also gives you the time and attention – one on one for the whole session – to treat you. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
