Testimonials

Wilfredo M.

Came in with lower back/leg pain, could barely walk and stand. Thanks to the staff, I’m now painless and can enjoy my regular activities. I’ve learned exercises to prevent me from re-injuring myself.

Working with Diane to overcome my knee problem was really great! She is quite knowledgeable and professional but very easy to work with. Diane really responsive to my needs and she paid attention to my conditions/progress, answered all my questions. She really helped me doing exercises correctly to speed up my recovery.

I would recommend her to any patients who need help with physical therapy.

The power of 250 horses slammed into my driver’s side car and landed me here. Hurt and immobilized, I received excellent care and guidance to healing and reclaiming my movements and to again safely operate my vehicle—so indispensable to our California lifestyle and full functioning!

Great personal instruction with a written guide and pictures aided greatly and clearly guided me.

Empathy, sympathy, knowledge, experience and intuition came to me from this friendly staff.

Made being in pain as pleasant as possible. I’ve healed as much as is possible (not quite where I was before but as close as can be now). Thank you so much!

My right shoulder become more movement-restricted as years passed, leaving dressing, gardening, reaching, carrying, house-cleaning, and other tasks harder to finish. The tasks became more slowly finished each year. The physical therapy treatments have increased the movement of my right arm enough to aid me quite a bit in my daily work, not back to my speed in youth, but better than six months ago. I will continue my stretching and strengthening exercises to improve more, feel better, and do the things I enjoy. It is surprising the difference physical therapy makes in even short “doses.” I’ll keep on, expecting to feel even better after “long doses.”

When I began, I was experiencing almost constant pain in my neck, left side.

I especially had trouble driving. It was difficult and painful if I needed to turn my head to the left if I wanted to check traffic to change lanes or make a left turn. Julie performed wonderful manipulation of my tight areas and gave me good exercises to perform at home between appointments.

As of now, I am much improved. I can check over my left shoulder when necessary while driving without pain! And I am able to do much more without pain than when I began.

THANK YOU, JULIE!

Also, I am very impressed with how support staff learns and uses every patients’ name regularly!
