No one wants to go to physical therapy." Truer words were never spoken...for the most part. Is physical therapy hard? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes. Will the staff at ATI try to make you smile and laugh through some of the hard parts? Also, Yes. At least that's what Griffin does. He knows it hurts sometimes and he is always there to comfort me and make me laugh whenever possible.
After receiving home physical therapy for a month after my surgery, I had been convinced by that physical therapist that my prognosis wasn't good and that I would have to go back into the hospital for additional surgery. Every time she would arrive to my home for pt, my blood pressure would be elevated.
As strange as it may sound, I look forward to my physical therapy at ATI. I know that the hard work I'm doing there will only help me in the long run. Griffin assures me by saying that I shouldn't be worried about my progress because he's not worried. What a dramatic difference from what the home therapist said.
My only regret is not coming to ATI sooner. I have no doubt that I am getting the best care possible and I am so grateful for that. read more
