Here are a few of our latest patient's success stories.
"Physical therapy has provided some surprising results: It is not just physical-the positive attitudes of the therapists are contagious and I find I have a more positive approach to life in general. I have been exercising at home, which is primarily stretching and loosing up. It does not provide the strengthening effects that the therapy equipment provides. I have definitely improved on a week to week basis and expect that to continue." A. K.
"I could not do anything with my arm before therapy. Now I have reached my goal, thanks to Jen. My arm is in great shape and now I am ready to go back to work. Jen is a great therapist and I couldn't have done it without her. I am very pleased!" K. S.
"My back seems to be fine, no pain. I am a little stiff when getting up, but I think that it is due to age and arthritis, rather than related to my original problem. I feel very comfortable here, as all of the therapists kept a watchful eye and were willing to help and offer suggestions and encouragement. The rationale for everything was explained. If I encountered a problem with an exercise, Art was more than willing to change to something similar. I was never belittled for not being able to do something." E. B.
"I came to Jen after cervical disc fusion. My neck, back, and posture was stiff and tight. After six weeks I feel much stronger in my neck, trap area, right arm, and lower back. She improved my strength, posture, and running techniques. She also treated me for Labyrinthis which I was diagnosed with two weeks after surgery. I now feel better than I have in three years. Thanks!" K. G.
"Before coming to therapy I had to walk with a straight leg because of the pain from my torn ACL. After surgery I had limited range of motion and de-blemished muscle tone in my leg. No I can run with painless effort. I can walk without a heavy limp and lift heavy objects. I have returned to full duty at work and I enjoy going for bike rides, I can ride longer than I could prior to coming in for therapy." T. C.
"I was in so much pain for months, I can now move my shoulder and I have no pain at all. Thanks!" S. M.
"I came to physical therapy due to severe low back pain. I feel that I have greatly benefited from therapy. My back is stronger and my pain has decreased." A. W.
"I was hopping on one foot and using a walker when I first came to therapy. I was also wearing a boot on my right foot. I could not drive. Now, I can walk using both feet and a cane, I am wearing shoes on both feet and I am able to drive." N. H.
"I originally came to physical therapy for heel pain (plantar fasciitis) as the pain was limiting my ability to walk normally. I have felt improvement due to the physical therapy. The exercises have helped greatly and more importantly the manual techniques have improved my condition." V. K.
"When I first started therapy I had a tingling on the right side of my jaw, up to my right ear. Since therapy the tingling has stopped. I also lost a lot of muscle strength in both arms, because with my aneurysm in my ascending aorta I was limited to lifting no more than 20lbs. Sean has worked on that, where I can now lift light weights, which is helping me to gain muscle strength in by arms and back. This is the fourth or fifth time I've worked with Sean over the years for various injuries. I am happy to say therapy has helped successfully. Plus with Sean's directions I walk with a straight back, and I walk tall. In the future, if therapy is required I will be back again." R. S.
"Prior to my visits I could only lift my left arm half way reaching up and I was not able to dry my back. I had difficulty sleeping on my left side because of severe pain. Now I'm able to do all of the above without pain. I'm actually able to do much more than I expected. I exceeded my goal!" J. F.
"I felt the in-home physical therapy could no further help. I had evolved from a wheel chair to a walker and then to two canes. That is when I started out-patient therapy. They started slow with ankle weights of 4lbs and progressed to 10lbs. My physical therapist used a lot of creativity with my exercise routine, adding one more exercise with each visit. If someone would have told me on August 5th that I would be walking without crutches, canes or other support I would have laughed. I am still a long ways from normal but with continued work I will be there in the coming months." A. K.
"I had maxed out benefits of home therapy and needed a more rigorous workout schedule that only out-patient therapy can provide. Thanks to Art's hard work and patience I feel like I have made dramatic progress in the two weeks we've been together. I look forward to future progress in the additional weeks have together before we leave for a three week vacation." D. W.
"Before coming to physical therapy, I could hardly walk. My pain radiated from my back, hip, leg all the way down to my toe. The pain level was a 10. My legs burned and tingled and I thought I would have to have surgery. I couldn't do stairs and it was hard to get up from setting in a recliner. After going through physical therapy and strength training I was soon able to walk stair and get on the floor and play with my grandkids. The burning stopped and I was able to cancel my appointment to the neurologist. Whenever the muscles became tight and I started having pain again I would come to see Sean and Art and with their techniques in therapy I was good again. I hope to continue therapy to keep my body pain free. All I need is to get my insurance benefits extended. Physical therapy is so much better than surgery or pills." K. T.
"Prior to physical therapy I had trouble lifting my legs to put on socks, pants, etc., sleeping on my side, driving, twisting, lifting and sometimes even had pain when not doing any activity. I now feel stronger and have little to no pain when doing theses activities? Thanks!" C. C.
"I came to therapy because I was having problems with my lower back. It was difficult for me to stand for long periods of time. After therapy I can now stand for longer periods of time before there is any sort of discomfort if any at all." A. B.
"Before therapy I had a lot of pain in my back. I was not able to do many of my normal activities. I also was not sleeping well because of my back pain. After three weeks of therapy I am feeling much better. I have even been able to sleep for much longer periods of time. My back is so much better." P. F.
"When I first came to the Sports and Physical Therapy Center I was using a walker after having two back surgeries. I went from a walker, to a cane, to walking on my own. Thanks to Hailey I've learned to walk again. Therapy has helped reduce my pain dramatically. I would recommend the Sports and Physical Therapy Center to anyone who needs help. All of the people at SPTC are very good at what they do. Thank you, Hailey, for what you have done for me." V. C.
"Before physical therapy I couldn't move more than a few steps without pain. Stairs were out of the question too. Now I am almost 100% and my mobility is back." B. V.
"I came in with pain in my right knee that kept me from playing volleyball. I am confident that I can play now without the pain reoccurring." C. H.
"Before physical therapy I had problems going up and down stairs, and problems with hills and squatting. Now because of my physical therapy I am back to all of my normal activities without any problems." K. B.
"I can do simple things like shampoo my hair and use the pump soap. I feel great!" T. A.
"My shoulder feels 100% improved in both range of motion as well as pain reduction. I had never had physical therapy and I am amazed at how much it helped. I defiantly achieved my goal of avoiding shoulder surgery. Jennifer was an excellent therapist to work with." D. H.
"Jen has worked with me on the areas of strengthening my abs, thighs, and back. The activities have helped me drop more than 20 lbs. and also helped with finding a better diet. Thank Jen!" J. Q.
"Over the past 3 months, I've reduced the pain in my low back and I no longer have a limp, I don't awaken at night with pain in my left upper and lower leg and foot. I am able to walk longer distances without significant pain and once again run for up to 6 minutes at a time. The pain in my lower back has reduced 80-90% from severe to simply discomfort. As long as I continue to do my exercises and maintain my strength the pain is manageable." J. H.
"More than 5 years have passes since I was treated my Sean Quinn at the Sports and Physical Therapy Center. I had been suffering from chronic lower back pain for more than a decade. I tried everything from medications to chiropractic and nothing provided more than temporary relief. Finally, I came to SPTC at the recommendation of my orthopedist. After two treatments, my lower back pain was gone- and I have been pain-free ever since. Thank you so much." J. P.
"Since surgery on 9/1/11 my knee strength and range of motion has dramatically improved. I have progressed from using a 4 point cane, to a single point cane, to no cane at all. Hailey has gone out of her way to make me comfortable while encouraging me to get better and stronger." M. B.
"Before therapy I had significant pain in my left elbow and shoulder. Lifting, grabbing, pulling were all painful to very painful activities. After therapy I still have pain in my elbow but it is significantly reduced. The pain in my shoulder seems good. The pain in my shoulder blade/back still exists but it is much improved. I am continuing to work on strengthening my muscles in my back and keeping my elbow loosed up. I find physical therapy to be helpful." B. H.
"My doctor recommended outside therapy to help strengthen and break in my new hip. At first walking was uneven and a little painful. With the therapy I have the hip and muscles around it have gotten stronger making walking more natural. I do not have to think about the hip when moving, walking, or changing positions. Now after therapy I am sure all my hip restrictions will be removed. Thanks Hailey!" M. K.
"I came in due to tension in my calf and pain on the outside of my right knee. I'm definitely feeling stronger. I can now tie my shoes and effectively stretch out my calf..." M. R.
"I came in for therapy for my left knee which was replaced. After four weeks of therapy I am able to walk without using any assistance like a cane. I can now do stairs, up and down, with little pain or discomfort. Great therapist, very knowledgeable!" M. S.
"Before physical therapy I could not walk without limping or straighten my leg. I can now walk straighter and my leg touches the table when I lay down. I feel so much better and the pain is all but gone. I would and do recommend the Sports & Physical Therapy Center to everyone." M. S.
"I presented for rehab for a torn right labral muscle. I have re-established full range of motion and am working on increasing my strength. My therapist, Hailey, has been very helpful and encouraging throughout. I would highly recommend Sean and his team to anyone! Thanks!" K. S.
"Since the surgery my range of motion seems to have returned to normal. I feel no pain or tightness except when making the most extreme movements." J. R.
"Before PT my shoulders hurt doing simple tasks like hanging up clothes. I couldn't do any activities that required me to raise my right arm over my head. Now after physical therapy, I can do all of these activities with minimal to no pain." D. G.
“I feel like my strength and posture has improved since starting physical therapy. I would often have a tingle in my last three fingers throughout the day and night and since physical therapy I have not had any tingle sensations.” T. A.
“The range of motion in my shoulder and wrist has improved with much less pain. It’s a lot easier getting dresses and opening jars.” J. G.
“Im back to running and doing bag workouts. I’m lifting bags of feed again. Things are a lot better!” R. D.
“I can run and walk without pain. I have better pain free range of motion. I feel I can ski and referee football without compensating for the pain”: J. W.
“Prior to therapy I was using a cane to get around, 100% of the time. I could not go up or down stairs except one at a time. I was not able to sit on a regular toilet, I had to use a handicap toilet. Golf was out of the question. A thirty minute care ride or drive was very painful. Since therapy I can walk up and down stairs in a normal manner. I no longer rely on a cane. I have been to the golf driving range a couple of times and have played an 18 hole round of golf with no pain. I just get fatigued. I can use a regular toilet and I can ride/drive in a car for over an hour without discomfort.” T. K.
“I love coming to physical therapy. I look forward to coming every day. Since I have started coming I feel that I am 85% better. Everything has gotten so much stronger thanks to my physical therapist. I love the one on one attention that I get here.” K. C.
“Before physical therapy I could not do the simple things, like walking through stores, or playing ball with my kids. Since coming to physical therapy I have been able to do things with my family. I have been coaching baseball and also helping out with my son’s team. Last night I was pitching from the mound to show the kids when to steal and read the pitcher. I am excited about my progress.” T. L.
“When I started with Sean I was in daily pain. Getting dressed, doing daily activities was constant pain. I couldn’t reach above my head without shooting pain. After two months I am doing most everything with ease! Life is so much better now. I actually sleep through the night! Thank you!” K. G.
“My posture is much better, my strength has increased, my pain is much better!” J. M.
“I am very pleased with my progress. Now I am able to get dressed with no leg pain and I am able to sleep comfortably, something that was quite difficult prior to my therapy. The front desk was very courteous and my physical therapist, Jen, was very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable.” W. G.
“After my surgery in May 2011 my legs were weak, I was in pain, and I was not able to do much more than walk-slowly. I am now pain free and will be returning to work in July 2011. I am walking throughout the day with no problems and I am able to do most of the housework without pain or problems with my legs going numb. Art is terrific!” S. H.
“Overall muscle strength has greatly improved. Endurance and flexibility have also improved.Thank you!” L. P.
“My ankles are stable, before they felt “floppy.” I am able to go up stairs without any concern. I'm able to go down stairs more easily. Driving is not a problem at all. Most days I have no pain.” C. R.
“I am able to start private tennis lessons again, this is something I was unable to do before therapy. I can lift large loads easier. I have started to gain the ability to run and jump, things I had lost the ability to do. I am still clumsy and slow but I haven’t fallen in a long time and I am improving a lot. My fine motor skills are back at full capacity. I am able to do nearly all activities that I was doing prior my illness; I still need to push to regain running and jumping.” E. P.
“The motion of raising my left arm above my head w/o pain is very good, I couldn’t do this a few weeks ago. The motion of bending my left elbow and placing my arm on my back is still painful. It was a huge accomplishment to raise my left arm out and up, I couldn’t do this a few weeks ago. The strengthening using the bands has been a great help in increasing my motion. Overall I am very pleased with where I currently am in my physical therapy progress.” A. K.
“I am back to lifting bags at the Feed Store. My pain is pretty well gone.” R. D.
“Since coming to physical therapy the strength in my legs has increased and finally become even in both legs. Also, I can now run without pain and jump, which bothered me before I started physical therapy.” D. Z.
“I was a complete mess before I came to see Sean. He has improved my strength and range of motion so much. I have a quality of life now. I felt fatigued before therapy and now the exercises have really helped me in every way. Thank you Sean and staff, I am looking forward to seeing you all again.” K. L.
“Before therapy, my right shoulder (rotator cuff) had moderate pain off and on throughout the day, and would wake me up with pain in the middle of the night. Sometimes I couldn’t get back to sleep. Medications (like Bengay) at night and it didn’t totally relieve the pain either. My range of motion was limited and I favored my left side so I wouldn’t hurt my shoulder. Today (about 2 months later) everyday has returned to normal, no pain, and a very good range of motion. I haven’t had pain at night in 3 weeks. I am very happy to be healthy again and to return to my normal activities. Thank you Sean!” M. F.
“The pain in my left thigh where it meets the buttock has lessened and the pain above the knee cap has lessened. I can stand for about 5-6 minutes without having pain in the thigh and buttocks area, where before I would experience pain in about 30 seconds. I am not as hunched over to the right side, my shoulders are almost level. I am starting to be able to stand erect and with my shoulders back.” J. S.
“I can now walk. When I first started therapy I could barely walk. My calf muscle is almost back to normal. It was very tight when I started. After only 2 visits my back pain was almost completely gone.” T. H.
“I couldn’t straighten out my leg without pain. Today it’s a total turn around. I can straighten out my leg and hold it for a while, no pain!” K. B.
“I had knee surgery to repair my meniscus. Before therapy I felt a lot of pain and had lost a lot of flexibility and strength in my leg. After therapy, I am more flexible and stronger in my legs and abs. I feel more muscularly balanced. I have been educated about getting stronger for the exercises I love. I’m biking and walking along with lots of strengthening exercises.” J. D.
“I have greatly improved my range of motion. My shoulder blade moves now where it was stiff/frozen before. Overhead motion is much better, but not quite even with my left arm. I am looking forward to sleeping on my right side. I just started sleeping in my bed about 1 ½ weeks ago. I am propped up with pillows, on my back, almost sitting up. For 6 months I was sleeping in an armchair. I am able to do more things with martial arts, building endurance and strength in my upper body.” S. G.
“I am now able to go up and down the stairs better. I have more flexibility and much less pain all around. I have received great care here.” A. E.
“My strength has improved to allow me to resume most of my normal activities. My balance has improved so that I am comfortable walking on most terrain. I can now walk without limping and climb and descend stairs. I have minimal knee pain and swelling but overall I have improved immensely.” C. L.
“A newer, better, younger knee. I now feel (although I was unsure for quite some time) that my left knee is stronger and healthier. I no longer have to “re-adjust” my knee every time I go from sitting to standing. I recently discovered I can do the breast stroke kick, when swimming, with no pain or popping. I haven’t been able to do that in twenty years. I really appreciate Jen, her knowledge, her skills, her support and her persistence. Thanks.” J. H.
“When I came to The Sports and Physical Therapy Center I could not participate with my three softball teams (senior teams) due to pain in my left butt area. I would take one quick step and my leg would drop to my knee. I had this same problem 2-3 years ago and I missed a whole season, until coming to SPTC late in the year. I can now play ball and run/hit without pain. Therapy has really helped me not only physically but emotionally.” J.L.
“Therapy has been going really great. I feel that I am getting better every visit and I love coming. For the couple of weeks that I have been coming to therapy since surgery I have gotten a lot better. Therapy has helped me to become more flexible and stronger. I have physically improved since surgery because of my visits to physical therapy. I want to continue coming until I’m back to 100%.” K. C.
“I could not put much weight on my left leg due to pain in my left knee and now the pain is gone. I had no flexibility in my hips and now I have flexibility.” G. E.
“Over the past few weeks I have noticed a dramatic change in several areas:
- leg and hip pain is almost gone- at most it is intermittent, after sitting a while or when lying on the hip in bed
- lower back pain is rare, slight at the most
- my posture has improved and I feel much more confident when I am walking
- my balance is improving
- my upper back and shoulder area is stronger and the pain is less after every therapy session.
Probably the biggest change is related to confidence and self esteem levels I now have. Sean has been so positive and encouraging and I now actually believe I can do things I never dreamed I could. I feel so much better, physically and mentally.” S. F.
“I have increased strength and confidence in trusting my body movements. I also have awareness of my body’s position both internally and externally to maintain proper positioning. I have better range of motion and flexibility.” J. J.
“Thanks to the expertise and caring spirit of Sean and his staff, I have improved from pain to mobility. Before therapy it was painful walking up the stairs. Now I am able to spend all day seeing the sights and enjoying my grandkids, from morning to night, never having a thought about pain or “not” being able to do anything. Thank you, you’re great!” S. H.
“After the surgery steps were difficult and driving was tiring. Since starting PT, I can walk up steps normally and drive with no problems at all. I feel much better than before surgery. Sean is great at helping me to continue my exercises at home. I expect to improve even more following his advice.” D.P.
“I am very happy with my results! The biggest statement that I can make now is that I want to hit the trails again with my husband, he is all smiles! I’m biking, painting, moving furniture. Happy as a clam, I can move!” J. V.
“Before PT, I was experiencing neck and shoulder pain so intense I could not sleep through the night. I had difficulty with the simplest of tasks, washing my hair, reaching, driving, etc. I felt fragile. At my first visit, Sean’s confidence assured me that I could get better. He was right! I am stronger that I ever imagined and sleep well. I have transitioned from therapy with Sean to strength and endurance training with Brian. I am motivated by the healing and positive energy at SPTC. Sean and his entire team are awesome!” S.V.
“When I came into rehab I was on crutches, about 2 weeks out of surgery and was not getting around to good. Today my strength is better than ever. The staff here is second to no other. My PT seems to take a personal interest in each patient that he works with. Thanks for pushing me! The PTs seem to be passionate about their jobs. I hope I never need physical therapy again but if I do it will be here. Thanks again.” J. B.
“Now I can walk without a cane. I can do steps without any difficulty. My right leg is not as weak as before treatment.” T. R.
“My lower back pain is much better. Sleeping, walking, and sitting at work is less painful and much easier. My mental well being is greatly improved. I am using less ibuprofen. I have totally eliminated using a heating pad on my lower back. I can stand for a long period of time with greatly reduced pain.” E. O.
“Physical Therapy is working miracles! It gives me hope. My pain is already diminished by half or more and my limp is going away. I am doing a wide range of home exercises and I feel stronger. I was able to dance, however short, at my daughter’s wedding recently!” C. L.
“Before physical therapy I didn’t have confidence in walking on uneven surfaces. This week alone I had to go after my dogs in the woods three times and I didn’t hesitate…” D. E.
“I am so thankful that I can express my daughter’s results! Her mobility and strength are now 100%. The tasks, work, and effort given have made her quality of life and attitude so much better. She can walk inclines, jump, run, and bend so much better and I am so glad. I can only hope to see more improvements so she can be a more normal kid and do what her peers are doing!” J. K.
“I have been able to run pain free. I have progressed from walking in a boot to running in 15 minute intervals. I would like to continue to work on my balance and strength. I would like to run 60 minutes consistently and pain free. I would like to get back to marathon running.” J. B.
“The PT I received has been an asset to my pain and movement issues. It is becoming less and less difficult with each session. I am gaining knowledge of movement and exercise routines that will benefit me…” D. S.
“Before PT I couldn’t do much of anything. I could help with laundry at home but that was about it. Walking through a store would wipe me out and now I am able to walk through WalMart. This is very exciting for me!” T. L.
“My back pain is much improved. When I started, it was painful to walk and I could not walk without limping. Now I can walk at a normal pace without pain. Sitting is also more comfortable. I am more flexible in my hips and legs and the previous hip pain I had has improved. I can stand up from sitting without limping. I hope to gain more flexibility and continue to have the hip pain decrease.” L. S.
“My range of motion and strength has improved. Overall, I feel much better than when I started. I can put on clothes or take them off without pain.” J. H.
“When I initially started physical therapy about 3 weeks ago following rotator cuff surgery, I had very little mobility in my right arm. Now I am able to use my right arm for most tasks. I was even able to uses it to blow dry my hair this morning. I have made great progress!” J. H.
“I can raise my arm all the way up, out to the side, and lift 50lbs of weight without pain. The therapy improved the range of motion and seems to have strengthened my arms. I feel that the therapy I’ve had has successfully improved my shoulder, allowing for full use of my arm without pain.” M. L.
“I am now able to squat when picking up things on the floor, I always bent at the waist before. My legs are much stronger and my quads and calf muscles are actually visible. My arms are also stronger. My right knee feels normal; I just have a little weakness…” M. W.
“My neck feels much better due to the therapy and exercises. My range of motion is back to where it should be. My upper back feels better from the massaging and stretching. The left side of my back was the most severe and tight for the past four weeks but I feel improvement. Therapy helped out a lot. Now I can perform all duties at work without feeling very sore and strain on my back. Big improvement since I started therapy.” T. B.
“In general I feel that currently I am able to stand or walk for greater periods of time without my knees hurting so much…I am noticing increased strength and I have been able to reduce my pain meds.” M. P.
“The physical therapy I received has been an asset to my pain and movement issues, becoming less of a daily problem with each session. Gaining knowledge of movement and exercise routines to benefit me has been a great help. I have experienced improvement and I feel that I can manage more by continuing the programs. I am a firm believer in physical therapy and would return if necessary.” D. S.
“I was able to complete the Tulsa Marathon (26.2 miles) with no pain in my arm during or after the race. I went into the marathon unsure of the right arm. During and after the marathon I was 100% confident. Thank you!” S. D.
