After an MRI revealed a really messed up knee (torn meniscus, ruptured ACL, a sprained ligament, and osteoarthritis) accompanied by weeks of limited mobility accompanied by pain, Dr. Rungee, my surgeon, very wisely recommended trying physical therapy before scheduling surgery. With no experience with physical therapy, I was a non-believer, but decided to give it a try before going under the knife.
The staff at STAR Physical Therapy were truly outstanding during every session that I had. Each time my level of pain and mobility were assessed and the therapists tried to match the right exercise to strengthen the injured areas and yet to provide challenge, as appropriate. The staff was extremely professional and courteous at all times. Scheduling was a breeze because of their extensive hours of operation and because they were careful not to overbook, I received personalized attention each time.
After participating in two months of two sessions per week therapy and following up with specific exercises at home on my own, I am glad to say that the knee has healed to everyone's amazement. I am back to my usual activities with no pain, and surgery is not necessary. I am now a believer in the incredible benefits of physical therapy and the wonderful staff at STAR Physical Therapy! read more
