I received physical therapy after a total right knee replacement. Therapy started the day after surgery, which was a Saturday. I chose Active Life because my doctor wanted me to start therapy right away and none of the other practices could accommodate me on a Saturday. All of the staff were friendly and very professional. They even remembered me when I came back for my next appointment! A number of therapists worked with me but I believe it was mostly Allie and Mick. The assistants were also very competent and worked efficiently to move me through the various stations before the therapist would work with me. In the beginning I had a lot of pain but they instinctively knew how far to push me. They answered all of my questions without hesitation and I trusted their answers. My post-surgery therapy went very well and when I was released, I was almost 100%. I attribute this directly to the care I received at Active Life. They used a variety of modalities to treat my knee based on its condition and needs at the time of each appointment. I returned to physical therapy at Active Life when I developed a stress fracture. When the doctor asked about the possible treatments, I wanted physical therapy. I was confident therapy could resolve the pain. Mick and the other therapists worked hard and tried numerous weight bearing and stretching exercises to heal the fracture but xrays showed it was not healing so I was discharged. If it could have been healed though, I know Mick and Active Life could have done it.
