Physical therapy is largely considered one of the most effective treatment options for a variety of health conditions, and one of the main reasons for that is because it can be specifically tailored to the individual and their unique needs. Any patient can find some basic exercises online, pursue them to the best of their ability and may notice an improvement in symptoms, but for the best results, care needs to be molded not only to the injury, but to the individual and their strengths, deficits and goals.
We pride ourselves at finding ways to fine tune different rehab programs to an individual’s unique needs, and we’ve found that taking this extra time and effort to match a person to their own program helps them make the strongest recovery. But don’t just take our word for it. In today’s blog, we showcase some recent reviews from patients that show how we really work to develop a personalized care plan for their unique challenges.
Personalized Approach To Physical Therapy
You can get a full look at our reviews by doing a Google search for OrthoRehab Specialists and clicking on the business page for either our Minneapolis or Edina clinic, but here are some real reviews from patients who have found success when working with our team.
- “I had a shoulder injury and went to the physical therapy group in my provider’s group. I attended every session, did the exercises and felt like I was getting worse, clearly not better. My chiropractor told me to go to Orthorehab and see Terry Buisman. That was a turning point ! He evaluated the initial problem, evaluated each week the improvement and then provided the specific therapy exercises. After 6 weeks, I have full rotation of my shoulder and NO pain while moving or sleeping. It is truly amazing what a difference a really GREAT therapist can do. I would highly recommend Terry Buisman and Orthorehab.”
- “Marla Brooks is not only an incredible human but a highly skilled and empathetic clinician. I have hypermobility and have come across numerous PT’s that don’t really understand my pain and patterns. Marla just gets women’s bodies and her approach treats the whole person. My husband also sees Marla and has commented, “she’s a wizard.” Now that I am out of acute pain and getting stronger, I’ve really enjoyed the Pilates reformer classes offered. Thanks OrthoRehab team!”
- “I had bad hip pain in my right hip, that was affecting not only my work but my life in general. I received a steroid injection that only sort of helped. The Ortho PA who gave me the injection recommended physical therapy and I am so glad he referred me to OrthoRehab Specialists. Terry (Physical Therapist and owner) and Austin (PT assistant) were wonderful to work with. They took the time to get to know me and my job, which requires standing for long periods on cement floor, and assess my hip. They worked on it every week and gave me stretches and exercises to do at home. They listened to me and made adjustments to the program as I needed. By the end of my 12 visits, I am now walking and standing with no pain in my hip. I highly recommend them.”
- “Had my first visit with Rebecca following a painful vertebral fracture. Not only did Rebecca listen carefully and come up with a great plan of exercises, her knowledge and understanding of my condition hugely increased my confidence in getting back out and doing all the things I enjoyed before. She is personable, professional, kind and caring, encouraging and always ready to listen to ensure she understands the issue. She is always happy to answer any questions I may have about the program I am working on. If I need PT in the future, I would not hesitate to return to see Rebecca and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thanks!”
- “I had a complex problem: the failure of a single nerve activating my right heel put unusual strain on my entire leg and lower back, rendering me incapable of walking more than a few hundred yards without severe pain. Dr. Matthew Siefert and Samantha Kisrow, through analysis, treatment, encouragement and sheer persistence over the course of seven months, returned me to as close to normal as I am likely to get, given that the nerve, doctors tell me, will never regenerate. They developed, evaluated and adjusted a program of exercises that have eliminated all but the occasional and transient pain in my leg and back. It was their dedication to finding a solution that most impressed me.”
As you can see, a common theme among some of our most recent reviews is that our providers really take the time to get to know the patient before working to develop an individualized treatment program. If you work a job that requires a lot of standing or you have specific athletic or exercise goals, we can develop a recovery program that best prepares you for these activities.
Let us develop a rehabilitation program that is molded to your short- and long-term recovery goals.
