Testimonials

“My experience with PT in Alma was excellent. I cam in after knee surgery and the exercise that I received here got me back into shape. I am able to run and work carrying mail without any or little pain. Thank you!

“When my Grandfather, Hal, fell ill and spent his last days, I made a phone call to him. His room phone was not working so I left a message to have my aunt call me the next day. My phone rang shortly after and it was Katie, Grandpa’s nurse. She came up with a plan to transfer my call to a different station with a cordless phone. She then walked it to his room. This would be the last time that I would speak with my Grandfather and tell him how much I loved him. I may not have otherwise had this private moment with him. Her thoughtfulness will not be forgotten.”

“The staff here in PT are the greatest! They made it fun, as well as helped me regain strength in my knee. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who may need physical therapy. They are great!”

“I enjoyed my time at PT everyone was friendly and I learned what the goal of each exercise was. I especially enjoyed muddling with the ladies. I also enjoyed getting to know them and their sense of humor.

I feel I accomplished a lot at PT and the therapist tried to make it not terrible. I thank all of them for the opportunity to get to know them so well.”

“I enjoyed every day of coming to therapy! It was such an amazing experience. I was pushed enough to where I ended up being proud of myself at the end of the day. Towards my last visits, I felt that I was set up for the rest of my life, not just until my recovery! Thank you!”
