What Our Clients Say
Knee is stronger, I feel more comfortable, and am back to my normal routine. My experience here has been awesome! I’ve had knee problems for quite a while, so when I re-injured it again. I was nervous to get back into PT. Professional Physical Therapy made me feel comfortable and welcome from the beginning. Dr. Patt and the whole staff were knowledgeable and excellent to work with! Throughout my sessions here, I’ve felt my knee get stronger and have gotten more comfortable getting back to a normal routine. I would definitely recommend ProPt, everyone is great! I was able to take care of my baby after a couple of weeks. My daughter was 5 months old when I fell and dislocated my elbow. Quite possibly the worst timing for this to happen. Not only could I not lift, carry or change or feed my baby, but I couldn’t blow my nose, dress myself or even brush my own hair! I needed to improve ASAP!! Thanks to ProPt, I was able to take care of my baby after a couple of weeks and back to normal after only about a month and a half. You do not realize how many normal everyday activities you need both arms for. ProPt made the experience quick, comfortable, and even enjoyable! Thank you, Tracy, Amber, Sue, and Dr. Patt, and the front desk staff.
