They were quickly able to diagnose and treat pain that had kept me from doing what I love, and I appreciated that they focused not only on eliminating my pain but also teaching me how to strengthen certain muscles to increase my ability to continue to care for myself even when I finished physical therapy. After a month of treatment I am back running again and so grateful! I cannot recommend them enough. Also shoutout to Rhonda for teaching me so many different exercises to use! read less

Most of the after effects of the concussion resolved themselves in the next year or two, but I didn’t realize until much later that my spine was also injured in that accident. What I had thought were muscle spasms turned out to be stenosis, severe deterioration in the spine, and a compression fracture at L5. I spent most of the 2021 summer and fall unable to stand straight or walk without searing pain. Needless to say, muscles throughout my entire body atrophied and I could no longer do the physical activities I enjoy.

In the 6-week follow up after my December surgery, I asked the surgeon if they could recommend a physical therapy clinic where other patients had success and the answer was “Therapeutic Associates.” I called the clinic nearest my home and was in their office at 3pm that day for a consult! I walked into that office on January 12 on a walker—unable to uncurl toes on my left foot due to plantar flexion weakness. My balance was drastically impaired from muscle atrophy and the nerve damage caused by the compression fracture and osteoporosis. Soon, I was walking through the neighborhood and then at the city parks. In less than 6 weeks of PT twice a week, I am hiking, albeit slowly, the same foothill trails that I have hiked for 20 years. I am on the trails 2-3 times a week for 3-5 miles.

I’d call that a success!! read less
