When I limped into Summit Physical Therapy my knee was almost in constant pain from tendonitis. My mobility was limited; stairs were a big obstacle; my sleep was disturbed; and my self confidence suffered.

I want to thank Kieran and John Fainson, in particular, for helping me repair my knee and restore my spirits. The workout they devised was just the right mixture of strength and flexibility exercises. My knee is now pain free and I'm happy to say I don't have to worry about it any more.

Thanks a lot Summit!

When I started my program I had recently been diagnosed with MS. I was having a lot of trouble walking, my legs were very weak, and I didn't trust  myself to walk stairs without holding the banister. My balance had deteriorated to where I was unable to stand on one foot or "tandem walk," or right myself if I started to lose my balance.

At the end of my program I can balance on either leg, tandem walk, get up from a crouch, walk up and down stairs without holding on. My ankles are stronger, my legs are stronger and can go about my workday with confidence. In my apartment, I can fend for myself, use the step stool, and in general feel confident of my safety. With MS, physical fatigue and mental and emotional fatigue go hand in hand. Now that I have my strength back, coping with work and daily living have become easier as well.

Thank you all!!

I have had a pain in my lower back for the last 7 months, and have been through three different doctors all with different diagnoses. I have been limited from participating in any activities, then the last doctor who I went to sent me here. After attending Physical Therapy here for a month (3 times a week) The pain is gone and I am back to playing sports that I have missed so much.
