Payton’s ACL Journey
“My name is Payton Drake and I tore my ACL and had to have surgery to repair it. After surgery, I had to go to Physical Therapy for six months to regain my strength. The Physical Therapy Specialist Clinic helped me greatly. Because of them, I now have the ability and strength to play sports. I had to go to Physical Therapy three times a week. This place became my second home. Everyone who works their cares about your recovery. They always asked how I was doing on my way in and smiled at me on my way out. Through all the hard wok, they made it fun. There was never a day that I did not laugh. I began to look forward to going to physical therapy. Sometimes I was pushed to my limits, but it only made me closer to getting back to playing sports again. When they saw me struggling with an exercise, they would encourage me. I am so thankful for him and all the people that helped me at the Physical Therapy Specialist Clinic during my recovery.”

“On October 31st 2014, I had a Rotary cuff surgery on my left shoulder within a week of surgery Dr. Gregory Hubbard had me in therapy. The staff immediately started working with me to get my arm back where it should be for me to use again. With their consistency and care and concern for 4.5 months I am allowed to freely move my arm with no pain. We really have a great team of specialists such a wonderful asset to our community. Thank you all so much for the concern, care and love everyone has contributed to my recovery.”

“I had an excellent checkup with Dr. Seagrave yesterday at the Mercy Orthopedic Clinic. He seemed fairly astonished at the full range of motion in my operative knee. He said the “big guys” don’t usually achieve that and if he had known he would have done both knees at the same time. I thanked him for the thought, but told him I don’t think I could have tolerated it. He seemed even more astonished when I told him this was my therapist’s first knee replacement rehab. All the folks at Mercy seem to know you and PTSC.We’ll do the second knee in late September or so. I’ll continue open gym until surgery and then be back for full-blown therapy again. Many thanks to your entire staff. They are all wonderful! In my immediate case, John Tollenaar is a real champ!!!!!!!!!! Thanks”

“I am very satisfied with the services. Before I had my hip replacement I was limping, unable to walk very far and could not stand for very long. After my hip replacement, I was very pleased with my progress in regaining function. After the last 6 weeks of twice a week therapy I am excited to say I have regained strength in my leg that I had not had in 20 years. For many years I walked still legged. When I started therapy I told the therapist I wanted to be able to function normally and be able to run. They said I was probably expecting too much to think I would be running. Guess what I am now able to run! I am very pleased with my results.”

“Intercounty Electric originally joined the WorkSteps program offered by Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic for our Operations department when it was just a pilot program. Today, our entire co-op team benefits from the program. PTSC has helped us more accurately assess the physical requirements and needs of the different jobs at our co-op. We want to make sure our employees don’t reinjure themselves when returning to work after any type of injury or surgery; and in that aspect, PTSC helps keep our employees safe and healthy. We are grateful for these services, and we appreciate the professional and knowledgeable staff at PTSC who serve our co-op team.”

“The program itself, along with the very talented and professional staff, has greatly reduced our risk of future injuries and definitely helps us employ people who we are reasonably sure can perform the duties of the job.”

“I came to physical therapy after a car accident. I came in with severe back pain, chest and left knee pain. Mary showed me a lot of stretches and exercises to help me deal with my pain. In a little over 4 weeks I was completely back pain free, my chest was better, and I got a referral a doctor for my left knee because she suspected a ligament tear.”
