She is a seasoned professional who has done so much for me over the last 6 weeks! I have had foot neuropathy and balance problems for a long time. Recently I had major back surgery at HUP. After recovering, I needed help to learn to walk again. Finally, I made an appointment with Margaret for a very long evaluation along with testing. She recognized my problems, identified a few more, and put together a comprehensive plan to address my many problems together. Every member of her staff is kind, competent, and caring. They work with clients one-on-one. I feel supported, motivated, and cared-for as I learn how to feel better and stronger. I read and often rely upon reviews from others for all sorts of things. I am writing this to recommend highly this PT practice. Check out their website & you tube video for detailed info. about them. I researched an awful lot of PT practices, then even dropped in on a few to get a feel of the place. So glad that I found this one!

(I am not clumsy - I've just been running for a long time.) Last year, Donna guided me through a hamstring tear that helped me recover in time to run my dream Marathon! I've worked with several of their therapists; they are patient, understanding, personable, and explain injury avoidance as well as treatment in a way that isn't patronizing. Okay, I should stretch more, and they're always teasing me about that (deservedly). But every couple of years when I get one injury or another, new or recurring, I know where to turn. I don't hesitate to recommend anyone - whatever their injury - to their care.

I informed her I had medicare and supplemental Plan G and I never pay for anything and that my medicare deductible was met in February. Needless to say they sent me a bill so I called medicare who stated yes my deductible was met, and then called my supplemental who said they paid and nothing should be due. I called Ivy billing and they said I still owed money but would investigate. Don't go to this place, first because you will end up with another problem like I did with my back, and then because they scam you when billing to make you think you owe money, when you do not. I go to many doctors and I never pay anything because I have one of the best plans. Beware. Do yourself a favor and go to Rothman rehab, they know how to bill.

Don't go here if you have a complex condition, like hEDS or another hypermobility condition. At…read morethe time (this was over a year ago) I came in not yet diagnosed as hEDS, but made them aware that I was in the process and the issues I was having. My script was for whole spine PT. The person they gave me really seemed not to know what to do with that, and it seemed clear very quickly that she didn't want to deal with me. She was verbally abusive to me when I said I couldn't do certain exercises (I couldn't) or was having trouble with them. She seemed irritated or something that she couldn't just give me exercises and go. I often was overseen by a tech or another PT, the latter often giving me helpful tips bc they could see I was struggling. She didn't remember I had no at-home exercises (which I thought was weird - that I had none), and when she asked me if I was doing them, I looked at her like - what? It took several sessions before I asked where to get the stretchy bands and she goes "oh, we sell them here." Why would you not say that in the first place? I kept debating whether to just leave, but thought I'd "tough it out." Never again. The last straw was when she put me on a leg press or something and tried to start me at 50lbs. After I was still struggling with the other exercises. I said I could not do 50 lbs., and she berated me. But i did get less than that. After one day doing the press and something else new, I honestly could not move. I spent the day laying on the couch bc my back was rigid. I never went back. I cancelled my next appointment, and then got a call the day I was supposed to go wondering where I was. Wish I'd cancelled sooner.

I've been to many physical therapists in my long life, mostly as a result of athletic injuries or…read moremishaps with heavy power equipment. So I knew they work on joints, ligaments and tendons. But what I didn't know is that they can cure--not ameliorate-but really cure a serious form of dizziness, called, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). "Benign" means the disorder is not life-threatening (tell that to someone throwing up because of feeling of the room spinning). "Paroxysmal' means it comes in sudden brief spells. "Positional" means the vertigo (sensation of room spinning fast and uncontrollably) comes when your head is in a certain position. Often the first episode you get is when you wake up in the morning. Seems to happen more frequently with older people. The room-spinning is not the same as what you get when you get drunk. Way worse. Plus, unlike getting hung over, you can have these episodes every day for months on end. Occasionally they resolve on their own. The inner ear plays a major role in maintaining our balance. It has three tiny semi-circular canals or tubes, (horizontal, anterior, and posterior) corresponding to the motions of a ship or airplane (turning, tilting and yaw). Inside the canals are some fine calcium deposits the position of which nerves can detect. Sometimes some of the fine deposits leave the main deposit and get lodged where they are not supposed to be, at the other end of the canal. Your brain gets confused and your eyes literally are twitching back and forth during the episode. Kinda cool to look at someone's eyes when they're wobbling like this. It doesn't last all that long. But I wouldn't dare drive a car, because you can't tell when the vertigo is going to come on. Once the vertigo starts, you can hardly see. Even walking around is dicey. You just have to stop and wait, and look around for a bucket. My local ER gave me an anti-histamine, which did nothing. But what they also did (after ruling out other causes) was to refer me to Willow Grove Physical Therapy, which cured me in two days. BPPV treatment is a specialty of Willow Grove PT. Treatment consists of no drugs. Just some controlled head movements. Doctor of Physical Therapy Jackie Pedersen accurately diagnosed the details of my situation. My problem was not the typical one, which would involve the horizontal canal. No, I had to have the anterior. Tougher to cure. I won't say the procedures, one on a Thursday and the second the next day, were a walk in the park. But you do what you have to do, and Jackie was more empathic and kindly than most of the PTs I've had. But on the Friday afternoon, I was done--really done--with BPPV. I went for a follow-up a week later, checking for gait, balance and so on, and I was completely out of the woods. That was three months ago, and I am still free of it. I never have had to use the exercises Jackie provided in the event of a relapse. I have no connection with Willow Grove Physical Therapy, and I have had no contact with with Dr. Jackie Pederson other than as a grateful patient who had this disorder. I should add that not all vertigo is caused by BPPV and that vertigo caused by other disorders can be much harder to treat. I got lucky--BPPV as my condition, not something worse, a fine ER that diagnosed the condition accurately and promptly and made a correct referral to a PT clinic that specializes in BPPV, and an outstanding, well-trained and empathic therapist. My hope is that if you, the reader, should ever have BPPB, you will be spared the months of misery caused by a failure to diagnose accurately and a failure to treat effectively, as a result of reading this review.
