Success Stories

I have visited too many clinics where their idea of physical therapy was to send you to a series of exercise machines for 20 minutes and then usher you out the door with a “…we’ll see you in two days”. While having issues with my knees, shoulders, and back, before I discovered IPT, I was the patient described above. Many times I had been told by a co-worker while suffering years of aches, pains, and sprains, that she had a cousin who ran a great clinic, specializing in back issues. It was not until I had an L4-L5 laminectomy in the summer of 2002 that I finally asked for her cousin’s information. My rehabilitation at IPT was nothing short of phenomenal. The care and support showed by the dedicated staff, from the receptionist to the owner, certainly is an integral reason why they have such success and loyal clients. While the exercise machines are present, it is the “hands-on” approach and the personal “touch” used when dealing with each patient’s distinct issues and problems that make people come from far and wide when in need of physical therapy. Patients are not treated strictly as patients. They are people who need emotional, spiritual as well as physical support. IPT comes through with flying colors in that regard. Another aspect of IPT that makes them shine as far as I am concerned is the way they become advocates for their patients. If something is not working, they will look into other methods that might show promise. They are not afraid to speak up to doctors and insurance companies if they believe someone might benefit from a different treatment. While the reason for going to physical therapy is usually never a happy one, it is very comforting to know that IPT is there, ready to offer help for the mind, body, and soul.
