Patient Success Spotlight

Joe Pedini, left sided sciatica

Tim Kiley, DPT

In October 2018, Joe started treatment at Bay State Physical Therapy in Halifax for low back pain and radiating symptoms into his left leg. He reported a long history of pain symptoms impacting his ability to complete daily activities. Joe’s daily activities recently increased with his wife’s diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease, adding to his motivation to maximize his recovery. Joe’s physical therapy treatment plan included muscle strengthening, manual interventions and exercises for balance to improve his core muscle strength and lower body flexibility. His treatment also included improvinghisawarenessofpropermovementpatterns inorder todecrease his risk for re-injury. “I have been coming to Bay State Physical Therapy since October. I was experiencing back pain and numbness on my left lower back and left leg. The therapist there took charge and began treating me with various exercises and massage treatments. After just a week of treatments I started feeling better and actually looked forward to going for my treatment. I can thank Brittany, Ryan, Erin, Alex, and Hannah for making me feel so much better. I would recommend Bay State Physical Therapy to my family, friends, neighbors and anyone who is in need of physical therapy treatments.” We are thankful for Joe’s referrals of his friends and family, and are happy to report that his wife is also experiencing success at Bay State Physical Therapy!
