I started with VTFC in December 2019, 6 months post work related injury to my lower back. I was seeing another physical therapist prior to coming to VTFC and I was not getting the results I knew I should be getting. I met with Greg Morris and was given an in depth evaluation and we discussed what my options were to get me back to my field of work. Greg mentioned that I would be seeing him 2-3x a week and then I would see the athletic trainer, Jason Arnett.

I met Jason Arnett after Greg and after another in depth consultation we had a plan of action to get me back to performing my regular daily activities, including returning to full duty status at work.

While I have had a rollercoaster of improvements and what feels like setbacks, Greg and Jason have been there to listen, push me when I need to be pushed and know when to stop when we are ahead. This speaks volumes of their knowledge and training with my injury.

Greg has continuously gone above and beyond considering my schedule is all over the place, he has catered to my work schedule which alleviated any additional stress on top of my injury. Jason and Greg continue to work hand in hand coordinating schedules between them to allow me the additional hours of recovery. Greg takes the time to listen not to just what you're there for, but he cares about what is going on beyond injury and treatment. I spend a lot of time at VTFC and each time I walk through the door I feel like a valued patient and I think that helps with recovery.

There are never two of the same days training with Jason, which I look forward to. He mixes up training - targeting certain muscle groups or adapting to my pain scale/other treatment I received. He makes the time go fast offering his knowledge and sense of humour to training. I can say that I have come a long way since injury 1 year ago and I owe that to VTFC.

Considering I have been a patient for 6 months, I have gotten to know many of the therapists in addition to Greg and Jason. Each of them acknowledge me when I come into VTFC for treatment. It is definitely a warm welcome to your day especially when some days you are frustrated with the healing process.

I can't say enough good things about VTFC and they have become the team I've been able to rely upon for my recovery.
