I was fortunate enough that my mother knew Alisha Jarreau, owner of the newly-opened "The Therapy Center For Physical Rehabilitation and Wellness" in New Roads. Why? Because I'd just started to recover from cervical surgery after enduring my fair share of upper back pain/pinched nerve pain for the past 8 years. Alisha agreed to take me on as a patient (in fact, one of her first) and away we went! . Now let me preface my review of the practice with this: when I began, Alisha was still in the process of finishing her commercial space (carpet, electrical, et. al.) Normally, most business owners would appreciate your business, remind you of their opening date, and you (the patient) would make-do until this time. But Alisha is not your normal business owner or physical therapist. Instead of the above scenario, Alisha scheduled me immediately for my first appointment....located at her home!!! I spent the better part of the first 2 months of my therapy driving to Alisha's house 2-3 times a week. She & her husband Jason had worked diligently to transform one of their spare bedrooms into a warm & welcoming space for me to begin my lengthy journey back to good health. In addition to supplying me with coffee (yay!) at every visit, Alisha never lost focus. A lot of folks who run any type of business at their homes will often put the customer on the back-burner occasionally in order to answer the phone/answer the door/do other things that people do when they're at their house. Not Alisha! She was constantly focused & ever-present as I worked my way through the exercise/stretching regimen that she'd set forth for me. I cannot stress enough how important this was in terms of creating a first impression with me. I have been a regular at physical therapy groups for the past 8 years; even the best of those couldn't compare with how quickly Alisha made me feel that my well-being was her utmost priority. Other than the location, nothing changed when Alisha moved into her commercial space on Hospital Road. Ans what a space it is! My mother (who attended The Therapy Center's grand opening/open-house) mentioned how warm & inviting the space was and what a great eye for detail Alisha had. Having spent the latter half of my course of physical therapy at this new space, I couldn't agree more. Warm tones, a sensibility in layout, and cleanliness rule the day at The Physical Therapy Center. Current (and future) patients will no doubt give the space high marks! Here, Alisha was finally in her element. She doubled her efforts with my rehab and really pushed me to challenge myself to learn what was possible in my post-surgical recovery. There were times when I felt like complaining, sure...this will happen with extended periods of physical therapy. But I could never muster anything other than a faux-whine followed shortly by laughter. No matter how hard Alisha pushed me & my body felt like resisting, she always had a smile & was always encouraging. The mark of a really great physical therapist is that you absolutely do no want to let them down or disappoint them with your effort. In that regard, Alisha is a cut above the rest: if I ever felt like slacking off, I'd feel a tinge of guilt because I knew that she was committed to my health 110%!!! I could, literally, go on & on about Alisha & The Therapy Center. The individual attention, the atmosphere (water, coffee,...even a TV that Alisha will let you change the channel on!), the conversation (important to know that your PT is human sometimes), the expediency in appointment times (Alisha does have a waiting room; you won't be there for long, if at all!). All of those things, all of what I've described above, and so much more....that's The Therapy Center in New Roads! Take it from a veteran of physical therapy: you will not be disappointed if you allow yourself the priveledge of being under the care of Mrs. Alisha Jarreau. She's one-of-a-kind and runs one of the best businesses in all of Pointe Coupee parish!!! read more
