What Our Patients Say
"Our first inclination is to hide, to stay away from the stares of what we begin to refer to as normal people. Sort of the same thing we do when our arm or leg begins to weaken, we tuck it away to protect it when I’ve learned from you it’s the last thing I should do. Use it, use it, and use it, more!I’ve learned that I should never just accept a problem without seeking some type of remedy or help. Never give up! There may not be a cure but there are ways to alleviate problems. Thank you for everything."
“The treatment plan developed in partnership with my doctor and Valerie has allowed me to be as independent as I can be. It has improved my strength, mobility and has helped me access the necessary mobility aids which have supported my efforts.”
“Staff and patients have provided the support necessary for me to face declining mobility.”
“When I feel overwhelmed with the stress that accompanies a chronic illness, I can count on a trip to Advanced PT to help me see my situation clearly and design an appropriate plan of action.”
“When I started with Gibson Advanced PT, I couldn't sit properly. I had difficulty standing. I couldn't walk even with assistance. I now walk with a cane in therapy, and I am confident that I will walk normally unassisted before year’s end.”
“I like coming to PT for several reasons. It gets me out of the house, it lets me know there are other people who have similar problems, and perhaps there are better ways to manage these problems. PT is a place where the atmosphere is always positive, and its a place where you are sure to get a good laugh. I have met so many interesting people ,and it makes me realize that I can do more than I think I can do with just a little bit of planning.”
“ I like coming to PT primarily because it helps me improve my overall physical condition. Also, I enjoy the people and the relaxed atmosphere. My mobility is improved with the stretching of my legs and the working on the machines. PT exercises also help clear my head, and during breaks, the stimulating conversations are mentally relaxing too.”
“Valerie is extremely knowledgeable in the causes and treatments of many neurologic conditions.She develops a rehab program for each individual and truly cares that each person reaches their goals.”
“I have been going to PT for dealing with complications from spinal cord injury. My overall condition has improved. I have more strength and my flexibility is better which has reduced my overall pain. We all have bad days, as my physical condition has improved my overall outlook on life has improved. I continue to go to PT because I have been given hope that I will get better, inch by inch day by day and that tomorrow will be a better day.”
