Mary B’s Story
How long did you wait before deciding on physical therapy and what was the obstacle?
I was experiencing issues for about 4-5 years. It started with arthritis and turned into major balance issues, so I came here to help my balance.
What was it and how bad was your problem prior to receiving physical therapy?
I could not stand up straight. I could not walk a straight line, I was very wobbly.
What was your pain preventing you from doing?
I had to shorten my walks and shopping trips. I was afraid of going somewhere far because of the fear of falling.
What would you say to someone who was experiencing pain but skeptical about physical therapy?
Don’t be afraid go and do it. Otherwise, it may be worse down the road.
Out of all the things that you enjoyed about coming to Preferred Physical Therapy, what did you enjoy the most?
The people and their professionalism. I like the friendliness and the qualifications they had. It was a good situation for me.
What were you wanting to achieve and did we help you to achieve it?
I wanted to achieve walking straighter and better. I also wanted to improve my balance. I think I’ve come a long way since being here as well.
