Success Stories

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2010 and had a Radical Prostatectomy in May 2010. My urologist asked if I would be interested in therapy to help in my recovery. I agreed and then, based on the recommendation of two dear friends, I called Advance Physical Therapy & Wellness and was set up for an appointment with Dr. K.

I met with Dr. K and we discussed exercises and goals for my treatment. I was then on the road to recovery. Dr. K checks on me and along with evaluating my progress, she performs visceral manipulation to help release the tension in the ligaments affected as a result of my surgery.

I have been working primarily with LouAnn and Justin who put me through the paces. They encourage me and are very supportive in all that I do. They explain what needs to be done and how it should be executed. Under their watchful eyes and guidance, it is much easier to do the exercises.

My recovery is progressing marvelously. I am very pleased at how much I have improved. I visited my Urologist lately and he was pleased as well at my progress.

My sincere thanks go to the wonderful team at APT that has been extremely friendly, helpful and supportive in all of my efforts. I am confident to say that it is the APT Team Attitude, Support and Guidance that has lead me to such positive success.

When I think back to my first visit, I was on a walker and in a lot of pain due to a right total knee replacement. I was greeted by Tara and made to feel very welcome as she evaluated my condition. The second visit I was put on a bicycle and all I could do was sit on it and barely move my feet back and forth. Then one day Kirsten encouraged me to pedal backward. Honestly, at this point I couldn't visualize ever being able to ride the bike forward and I seriously thought of quitting therapy. But, I continued, and LouAnn and Justin were so kind and gave me the encouragement I needed.

Then one day my knee co-operated and I was able to move the pedal forward and ride for 10 minutes... I was elated!! From that point forward my therapy moved fairly fast and before I knew it my pain was gone and I was discharged. Thanks to the entire staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I will miss you all!

With a dislocated elbow, I understand that full mobility is sometimes not achieved; however, I am back to about 100% prior to my accident and am fully satisfied with the outcome. They customized the therapy to what I needed as I made progress. It was not cookie cutter. The atmosphere was upbeat in the clinic. They explained what they were doing and why so I understood what was needed. They had all of the right equipment to help me reach my goals.

APT has helped restore my range of motion, strength and flexibility, and greatly reduced my pain level. LouAnn was my primary therapist. She was always cheerful, positive and a joy to work with. She knew my limits and never pushed me past them, but always encouraged me to reach them; that is so important when working with a patient with fibromyalgia. Everyone at APT is kind and helpful.

My experience with your facility was more than rehabilitation from the pain of my Achilles tendon. The wonderful staff was very helpful in getting me on the right track. Their caring attitude made all the difference in my recovery!

Tara was most instrumental in raising my spirits when I was feeling down, as well as managing and almost totally eliminating my pain. Thank you all for a great experience. I will gladly and proudly recommend your services.

I am pleased to say that my pelvic problem resolved completely under the guidance of Kirsten Snellenburg and also in working with the other therapists. I worked hard each day doing the recommended exercises and as a team we "licked" the problem. I'm happy!

Kirsten also gave me instruction and exercises to resolve my positional vertigo, which was horrible. I'm glad to say I'm better now. Should it occur again, I will know what to do and also have exercised to do on a regular basis. Thank you all.

I suffered from dizziness for years. Dr. K. Snellenburg treated me and in only one week I experienced improvement. After two weeks I started to feel much better! Thank you Dr. K for all of your help!

Muscle development on my left leg has improved a lot in the past 2 months since I've been coming here for treatment. My tolerance level with activities has increased without experiencing as much pain as I was before I started at APT. Before treatment, I couldn't jump without my left knee causing me extreme pain. Now I am able to jump for periods of time with minimal pain. I would recommend anyone to come here and get treatment due to the progress I am experiencing with this facility.
