Before therapy, I had severe sciatica nerve pain. It affected my daily tasks on the farm and made it difficult to walk or stand. Since therapy, my therapy sessions have relieved my sciatica pain and have helped me with limbering up my joints and making it easier to get around. I have been so pleased with the results!” —J.H. Since therapy, I feel stronger! Before therapy, due to major issues with both of my knees. I was weak, stiff, over-compensating with my hips and in tremendous pain. It was obvious with my gait and lack of strength that I needed physical therapy. Also, after sitting for a brief period, everything would lock up; I wouldn’t be able to walk for a bit. Since therapy, I feel stronger! Because of that, I’m able to walk faster and do so much more. I’m no longer freezing up after sitting. Also, I’m more hopeful for the future as I have many strategies to help me maintain strength.” —M.B.
