I just finished 3 months of Physical Therapy at Adams County Physical Therapy rehabbing shin splints. I am a runner and have had recurring shin splints on and off for 5 years. I have been to 3 different PT's over the years and have been to sports medicine doctors trying to solve this problem. Running is very important to me, and when this issue flares up it usually means a lot of time off and inconsistent running. I have never been able to progress past the issue.
From the first visit, Rob and Nichole listened carefully to my goals and did a thorough examination of my shins as well as the whole chain of movement in my body that contributes to the issue that I have. They created a program that addressed where I have weakness through building strength and also took the time at each appointment to address the pain and discomfort that I felt using techniques like ultrasound therapy, soft tissue massage, heat, etc. I was also able to continue running, (although in a modified training plan) and I totally credit their wonderful service and treatment for getting me to the start and finish of my spring half marathon. To my astonishment, through it all-- I KEPT RUNNING. That has never happened before.
What sets this place apart: Rob and Nichole. From your first appointment it will be clear how important their patients are to them and the patient's goals. They build rapport with every single person that walks through the door- be it for an employment assessment or someone like me who is a frequent flyer. They made it fun to come to therapy, and kept me laughing through it all. I never felt forgotten about, they always remembered my pain, my goals, my kids names, my dog's names. They checked in with me constantly to ask my pain level and to see how I progressed. They added difficulty when I needed a challenge, and they modified when things were too hard.
Quite simply, they are the best. This place is small, but their care of their patients is above and beyond. read more
