What was your favorite part about your experience at OrthoRehab?
From the moment I walked through the doors at OrthoRehab, I was struck by the genuine passion and depth of knowledge demonstrated by every member of the team. My favorite part was how each therapist took the time to explain the biomechanics of my shoulder, using clear language and visual aids, rather than simply prescribing exercises. I learned how rotator cuff mechanics relate to scapular movement, and how strengthening my rotator cuff had a direct impact on my ability to lift my arm overhead without pain. During one session, my therapist referred me to our Shoulder Physical Therapy page so I could review videos of corrective exercises at home. That balance of in-clinic hands-on care and at-home education made recovery feel collaborative. I also appreciated the comfortable environment; with private treatment rooms, quality equipment, and a friendly reception area; that allowed me to focus entirely on my healing.
With respect to your injury, how has the OrthoRehab team impacted your life?
Before coming to OrthoRehab, I struggled with persistent shoulder pain that limited daily tasks like reaching for items on high shelves, carrying groceries, and even simple self-care activities such as putting on a coat. The OrthoRehab team performed a comprehensive evaluation that included orthopedic special tests like the Neer impingement test and the Hawkins-Kennedy test. They identified joint mobility restrictions and muscle imbalances that were contributing to my subacromial bursitis and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Over the course of twelve weeks, they guided me through a staged progress of manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and progressive strengthening. As my range of motion improved, I regained confidence in my shoulder’s stability. Today, I can swim laps again, participate in my weekly tennis league, and play with my children at the park without fear of pain or re-injury. Their impact extended beyond physical healing; they restored my independence and allowed me to return to the activities that give my life meaning.
If you were to recommend your physical therapist to a friend, what would you say?
I would tell any friend or family member that they must experience the level of care at OrthoRehab for themselves. Whether you need relief from chronic neck pain, post-operative knee rehabilitation, or help with balance and fall prevention, the therapists here are experts in evidence-based practice. They listen attentively, create individualized care plans tailored to your goals, and teach you strategies to prevent future injury. If you are seeking a clinic that combines the latest manual therapy techniques—such as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilizations—with personalized attention, look no further than OrthoRehab. They will guide you every step of the way, celebrate your milestones, and empower you to take control of your own rehabilitation journey.
