I am a long-time customer of Advanced Care Physical Therapy (ACPT). A friend recommended them to me. She said she stumbled upon them when in need of therapy in 2006. She was attracted by the heated pool and found all aspects of their care to be outstanding! I decided to check them out and am so happy I did! I had a total knee replacement in 2019. Subsequently, I’ve had three additional surgeries that required physical therapy. I did not even think twice about where I wanted to go for physical therapy. Let’s start with the team at the front desk. They are warm and welcoming and help you with the intake process and with understanding your insurance and copays (if any). They get to know your name and treat you like family. It doesn’t stop there. The techs, therapists and management are very welcoming and personable. They, too, treat you like family! Everyone cares about you as a person, listen to your needs and work hard to help you heal and recover. They are professional, very knowledgeable and skilled. They understand how to help you as an individual. They care about how you are feeling as you recover. When you think you can’t do something, they gently challenge you to take the next steps and cheer you on! If you are having a rough day, they understand and adjust your treatment in ways that are helpful. This starts before you get there if needed. (e.g., if you need a wheelchair to get to the office) and continue in the waiting area. The staff are attuned to how you are feeling and what you need. They work as a team to help you. All that service BEFORE you get to your treatment room!!! I tell you, it’s unheard of these days. They don’t just let you sit in the waiting area and be miserable. They help you!!! The cold/hot treatment, TENS, massage therapy, compression boots, equipment, heated pool, education about how the therapies help and the overall healing process have all been a part of my treatment regimen each time I was there for services. I give ACPT 10 stars! I recommend them to EVERYONE that mentions they are having surgery that will require physical therapy. I plan to use them, and only them, whenever I need physical therapy. In my opinion, there’s no comparison, no competition. The team at ACPT is THE BEST!!!!!
Ashley’s headaches were debilitating. She could not sleep or participate in any of her daily activities without her head throbbing. Her neurologist diagnosed her with cervicogenic headaches, a type of headache mostly targeting women, and referred her to Advanced Care Physical Therapy for treatment. After working with Paige Duvall, PT, DPT, for several weeks, Ashley’s headaches were already reduced. After seven weeks, Ashley was headache free and could sleep through the night without being disturbed by neck or upper back pain. From a combination of manual therapy techniques, exercises and stretches, Ashley’s neck loosened, and allowed her to fully return to exercise, reading, and work. Happy with her results and experience at Advanced Care Physical Therapy, Ashley was successfully discharged and is another example of an ACPT patient success story.
Frank M. knew he wanted to avoid a knee replacement at all costs. After suffering from persistent leg pain, Frank’s orthopedic surgeon agreed that a new knee would be a last resort measure, and he would instead benefit from physical therapy. After visiting other physical therapy clinics, Frank’s pain was not improving. Then his physician suggested he visit Advanced Care Physical Therapy. “The evaluation at ACPT was very helpful,” said Frank. “They conducted the evaluation and measured different things I did on the bicycle, leg press, and other machines, but the biggest thing I got out of it, which I’m now working on at home, is to improve my balance.” At ACPT, our patient centered treatment philosophy allows for our therapists to spend necessary time with our patients to get to the root of what is causing their problems. And in Frank’s case, this was no exception. “As Ted, my physical therapist, explained to me, I have to re-learn balance. I’m trying to avoid an operation on my knees, so I’m improving my strength and balance which helped with my knee pain.” Just like with Mr. Frank, at ACPT, our dedicated and knowledgeable physical therapists are relentless in their desire to improve the quality of life of every patient who walks through our doors. “I was impressed with ACPT and would recommend it to others,” said Frank, “I went to another place and I did not feel anybody was diagnosing my case. At ACPT the technicians were helpful assisting me and gave me a lot of attention. Everyone had good personalities.” The family-oriented atmosphere at ACPT ensures that we get to know our patients on an individual level as we treat not just the aches and pains, but aim to help the whole patient. Many patients like Frank come to ACPT and find that even by improving their strength and balance they not only regain their independence, but start living an active life once again.
Do you still experience routine pain from an old injury? Has your pain reached a point where it impedes your daily functioning? If you think it is too late for your body to heal, think again. Read on to learn how Advanced Care Physical Therapy patient, Deborah S., rehabbed a 40-year-old arm injury and regained her mobility, pain free, after years of disuse. I shattered my elbow in a roller-skating accident about 40-years-ago, and over time, I reached a point where I lost feeling in my last two fingers and had severe nerve damage in my arm. I had been to Advanced Care Physical Therapy after I underwent a knee replacement and now returned again after getting surgery on my elbow. Joe Federline, PT, MPT, my physical therapist at ACPT, eliminated the pain in my elbow and helped me regain my mobility. I liked Joe because he was holistic in his treatments. He would give me different pointers that I did on my own, and that I continue even now. After only a month in physical therapy, I returned to work! For years and years, I could never use my injured arm to even talk on the phone, and now I use that arm to talk on the phone without even thinking because I am pain free! My experience at ACPT was great, everyone was so friendly and went out of their way to welcome me and take care of my needs. If you are also dealing with an old, nagging injury, why wait? Book your appointment today and see how physical therapy at Advanced Care Physical Therapy can restore your quality of life like it did for Deborah S.!
