Success Stories

Physical Therapy making progress _ reviews, testimonies_edited.png

Patient

Male, age 65, Aspiring Senior PGA Tour Professional.

Medical Condition:

Debilitating left knee arthritis inhibiting ability to walk without limp.

Surgical Procedure:

Total knee replacement.

Physical Therapy Goals:

Regain knee bend to 110 degrees, normal gait, and ability to play golf without pain.

Before Therapy Patient Comments:

“After years of progressive pain, I finally gave in and scheduled my knee replacement the first day I qualified for Medicare. My orthopedic surgeon did a great job, but it was obvious after 3 days in the hospital my recovery was going to be long and arduous. My surgeon referred me to PhysioWorks, and I hobbled in on my crutches, with a noticeably sour attitude, uncertain what lay ahead over the next 3-4 months.”

During Therapy Patient Comments:

“Within a week of therapy, it became evident that my knee bend was not responding well enough, so my surgeon performed an additional manipulation procedure under anesthesia to loosen the joint and surrounding muscles. I can honestly state that going to PT after that procedure was one of the toughest days of my life. However, the staff at PhysioWorks were both helpful and caring, even putting up with my screaming and a few expletives during one particularly demanding session as 3 therapists helped me bend my knee to the required angle. Slowly, by surely, I made progress, and my family began to notice a major improvement to my attitude and demeanor.”

After Therapy Patient Comments:

“During my last follow-up with my orthopedic surgeon, he told me I was one of the toughest recovery cases he had treated because the muscle structure in my leg greatly inhibited my ability to bend my knee. I told my surgeon I was thankful that he referred me to PhysioWorks because they had the professional ability to deal with me not only medically, but also with my less-than-pleasant attitude during some of my appointments. Unfortunately, my lifelong dream of joining the Senior PGA Tour was dashed against the rocks when I failed to break 100 with my new bionic left knee, but thanks to the wonderful folks at PhysioWorks and my surgeon, I now enjoy the playing golf with my buddies and my 10-year-old grandson.”
