When my first foot surgeon botched the job, I had other physical therapists literally send me away. When that injury ruined my gait and left me permanently disabled and arthritic, other physical therapists gave me the runaround about treating more than one area of my body at a time. "That's a separate case, you can only have one case open at a time."
That's very convenient if you're a super athlete with one boo-boo who can't wait to get back on the squash court. But what about the rest of us? People who really need help?
Well, thankfully I found Sue and I've been seeing her for years. She treats all her patients with the same level of care and therapeutic focus that she'd bring to one of her star athlete patients whose names she is too modest to mention.
She has done wonders for my mobility and pain levels, she knows when to push me and when to smush me (she does this neck thing that is straight-up sorcery I swear). And while she does not spend time dancing with the insurance companies, she DOES give you all the ammo to submit for reimbursement.
This gives her the freedom to treat YOU, the person, and all the parts of you that may be rusted. Not quibble about what "case" is open and yaddah yaddah. It's less than I spend for a great massage and it's worth it.
Think of PT as self-care for the long haul. And do yourself a favor - call and make an appointment if anything is hurting you. You're still reading this, so there's a good chance it applies to you.
Facts: Two years ago I was crying in a bed with a foot the size of the Queen Mary. I STILL have no cartilage south of my Mason-Dixon line and walking used to feel like broken glass. I'm stronger and happier now and I can't recommend Sue enough. read more
