Don't believe us..............Listen to our patients!

I recently has a full knee joint replacement and was very apprehensive about physical therapy, but Josh @ THERAPY1ONE made the journey  easier with his positive attitude.  Everyone @ THERAPY1ONE was always understanding and kind , even those days  when the pain was so intense and I did not feel up to therapy.

Thanks again Josh!

When I started THERAPY1ONE my lower back pain level was at an 8 or 9 out of 10 (10 being the worst).

Therapists Josh and Laura showed me special exercises that have decreased the pain level to a 2 or 3.  The physical therapy I received at THERAPY1ONE was great! There concern about the patients is very sincere and they did a great job of me. Very thankful for the knowledge of these therapists.

 

Thank you again,

Lola

 

I was seen by Dr. Michael Rohan Jr. and he diagnosed me with Sciatica  nerve pain and arthritis. He recommended physical therapy @ THERAPY1ONE. I have been amazed at the relief of my back pain and the small amount of time it took to notice a difference. I am forever thankful for Susie Garcia (PT) and Laura Smith (PTA) they are so nice and patient with you. Everyone there was great and I have a home exercise program to continue with.

I came for physical therapy on my back and was very pleased with the results.

The staff at the Jenks Ave. location are very courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. In the beginning I had my doubts regarding physical therapy as a cure for my frozen shoulder and thought it would require surgery, but after just a few sessions with Josh and Laura I was already getting my range of motion back. I have almost 100% painless range of motion in my shoulder and have been instructed on what I can do to continue my healing process on my own. The folks at THERAPY1ONE have made healing my injured shoulder a very pleasant experience. I very highly recommend THERAPY1ONE for your physical therapy needs.  

Thank you,

My name is Nancy and I fell at work and injured my wrist. When I got in to therapy with Kathy I was very lucky. I was limited on the use of my hand which made it hard to dress and to do daily chores. Kathy was terrific, she would tell you what she was doing and talk to you so you were relaxed. I was released 2 sessions early and am back and ready to do anything!! I hope I never have to go back cause that would mean I have injured myself again, but Kathy is super!

Happy Patients!

I came to get therapy for my right shoulder; I was in a lot of pain. Josh and James were such a help to me.  My shoulder has done so much better after coming to THERAPY1ONE. These therapists know what they are doing and I would not go any other place!

 

Thanks at all at THERAPYONE! You have the best with Josh and James!

I had hurt my right thumb at work and considered having surgery. I was assigned to THERAPY1ONE for therapy. I was a little hesitant when I arrived, but I was assured by Kathy and her confidence she displayed. She was not only professional, but also very knowledgeable about her work. I first arrived in severe pain and left with the ability to function without pain. I would recommend THERAPYONE and Kathy to anyone and everyone in need of Occupational Therapy.

 Thank you for your professionalism,

D. Gray

 

It is a joy to come to THERAPY1ONE for therapy. The entire staff is wonderful, nice, kind, informative, and sincerely caring.

Thank you all so much for being here for me!

Until next time-Lots of love,

I feel very positive about my experience with THERAPYONE. The therapists were very helpful in teaching me the exercises to use to strengthen my back and hopefully prevent a recurring back problem.  If I ever need therapy in the future I will know who to call.

 Thank you,

I had knee replacement surgery @ after the surgery I went to THERAPY1ONE. I went from barely being able to use my knee to bending it real far without horrible pain. I also had low back pain for years and through THERAPY1ONE putting me in traction and exercises the pain is gone!

17 years ago I had back surgery. They removed 80 to 90 percent of the L5 disk…no fusion. The scar tissue was a natural disk. In December 2014 I started experiencing extreme back pain. An MRI was done and showed another protrusion at the L5 and now one at the L4 with arthritis. I started physical therapy at THERAPY1ONE and have completed it today.  I have the tools now to help me reduce the pain and build strength, good posture, and I feel so much better. I also joined the fitness center at THERAPY1ONE.

I want to thank Josh and Laura they have really helped me!

Knowledge and Skill!

The staff at THERAPY1ONE in Panama City are exceptional. My very first appointment with them I had just had surgery and needed a brace before leaving on a trip.  Kathy Pitts, the Occupational Therapist, came in early to work me in. Susan and Debra at the front desk were always caring and friendly, calling me by name every time I came in. I was also very impressed with the knowledge and skillset my therapist Kathy had, while at the same time remaining personable, friendly, and caring. Just can’t say enough good things.

 

Thanks for all you do!

Physical Therapy can Help!

1. Reduce or eliminate pain - “Hands-on therapy or treatments such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation can help relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function to reduce low back pain,” Schimmer says. Such therapies also can prevent pain from returning.
2. Avoid surgery - If physical therapy helps you eliminate pain or heal from an injury, surgery may not be needed. And even if surgery is required, you may benefit from pre-surgery physical therapy. “It will allow you to recover from surgery faster because you’re stronger prior to it,” Schaefgen says.
3. Improve your mobility - If you’re having trouble standing, walking or moving - no matter your age - physical therapy can help. Stretching and strengthening exercises help restore your ability to move. “If needed, we also help fit people for devices like wheelchairs, walkers and canes,” Schimmer says.
4. Recover from a stroke - It’s common to lose some degree of function and movement after stroke. Physical therapy helps strengthen weakened parts of the body and improve gait and balance.
5. Recover from or prevent a sports injury - Physical therapists understand how different sports can increase your risk for specific types of injuries (such as stress fractures for distance runners). They can design appropriate recovery or prevention exercise programs for you.
6. Improve your balance and prevent falls - When you begin physical therapy, you will get screened for fall risk. If you’re at high risk for falls, therapists will provide exercises that mimic real-life situations. Therapists also help you with exercises to improve coordination.
7. Manage diabetes and vascular conditions - As part of an overall diabetes management plan, exercise can help effectively control blood sugar. “We can create an individual plan with the right mix of aerobic and strengthening exercises,” Schimmer says.
8. Manage age-related issues - As you age, you may develop arthritis or osteoporosis or need a joint replacement. “Physical therapy can effectively keep older patients more mobile and fit them with the appropriate walking device if needed,” Schaefgen says.
9. Manage heart and lung disease - While most patients will complete cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack or procedure, you also may receive physical therapy if your daily functioning is affected.
10. Help your child manage a medical condition, injury or movement problem - Physical therapy can help children with everything from improving fine motor skills to caring for neurological issues such as cerebral palsy to recovering from surgery.

Thank You!

 

I would like to thank my physical therapist, Laura Smith, for her kindness and patience during my physical therapy. You started me on exercises that were always challenging and never extended me beyond endurance. With your good sense of humor you were able to get me to relax and therefore to coach and reassure me when I was having self-doubt about my ability to ever have relief from my back pain.

As someone who has never has physical therapy exercise, I am happy to say your program has given me a whole new awareness for my body. I’ve learned that weight training is extremely important for women my age, and if I don’t make an effort to keep my muscles strong around the bones, I’ll wake up every day aching and complaining. I know I have to keep working harder as time goes by, but I also know that I feel really good after each PT session.

Therapy one, has some wonderful people working there and they care about their patient and show it to everyone.

I have decided to join their gym to continue my weight training.

Life is Beautiful!

 

In the great dictionary of life, a photo of Kathy’s face should be next to the definition of compassionate care. Thank you, Kathy, for the excellence in comforting, educating, guiding, encouraging, and for your warming touch. You didn’t just treat an injured joint, your helped a whole body-A PERSON

 

Thank you,

FABULOUS!

 

Kathy was fabulous as my therapist! I was suffering with tendinitis in my right arm, after Occupational Therapy I was 90% improved. I am thankful to say that now I am back to 100%. Kathy provided a wonderful atmosphere for Occupational Therapy. I would definitely return again of needed.

 

Thanks Again,

In Great Pain!

I was in great pain when I started THERAPY1ONE for Physical Therapy in my neck and lumbar. The treatment I received particularly from Heather has me moving again, almost PAIN FREE! Because of surgical failings 25 years ago there are some motion restriction and pain I will always have, but Heather brought me back down to my own “ground zero”! If I ever need Physical Therapy again I will ask for Heather!

 

Thank you,

Elizabeth R.
