After a knee injury, I started researching physical therapy practices. I'd had experience with the…read more"big box" providers in the past and knew that individual time with a therapist is rare. So, Move to Success caught my eye because they offer 1-on-1 treatment. Seriously, every appointment is a 1-on-1, just you and a therapist.
Mandy is the owner of the company. She has her doctorate from the University of Michigan and is always looking for new technology to help her patients. She is laid-back and light-hearted and treats everyone with compassion and respect. In a climate where insurance companies control patient care, she is not afraid to get creative to exceed expectations. She is a true giver, always making sure her patients and staff are taken care of before she considers her own needs.
Kelly also has her doctorate and is as much a teacher as she is an amazing physical therapist. She explains how the activity should be performed, what area of the body it is working and why it will help your specific needs. That said, she is also a very good listener. She wants to know how you are feeling, is willing to alter your exercises to fit your needs, and always has your best interest at heart.
Kayla feels like your best friend from the moment you meet her. She is an incredibly effective therapist because she is curious about her patients. She is an engaged and empathetic listener. She will ask you how each exercise feels and has the creativity to modify the position to more effectively suit your circumstances. She will encourage you and celebrate each of your milestones along the way.
Alex is a powerhouse. She can hold a conversation on any topic with anybody and is an exceptional therapist with a wide range of knowledge. She reminds me of a personal trainer because she has more energy than anyone should have and is often seen working the exercises along with her patients. She also has an uncanny ability to find your pain center and tame it. Seriously, her manual work is next level.
All of these women will not only help you fix whatever is ailing you but they will make you feel like family while doing it. (Good family, not the dysfunctional kind of family.) It's clear that they all love what they do, love who they work with, and love their patients. They are kind, compassionate, thoughtful, respectful, empathetic, and exceptional at making you feel better.
Administratively, they take care of everything. They deal with your insurance company. They will send you home with tools to help you feel better and continue working at home. They see all patients from infancy to geriatric. They offer dry needling, cupping, TheraBand, Kinesiotape, therapeutic massage, passive stretching, tens, trigger point release, myofascial release, stretching and strengthening exercises and probably other things that I have forgotten and left out.
I should also point out that I have been going there for 3 months and have only done a couple of exercises more than once and usually with some variation. They are just so creative that it never gets repetitive or boring. In conclusion, there is no better place to receive physical therapy than Move to Success.
