"After I hurt my knee training for a race, Stride Strong was recommended to me and they delivered! I was fortunate enough to work with Greg, who was helpful in many ways. The PT was solid but not overwhelming. We'd focus on exercises I didn't have the equipment for at home. Then I went home each week with 3-4 exercises to do on my own. My knee improved and I'm back to running! I would highly recommend coming here for PT."

"I've gone to Stride Strong for therapy four times the last ten years and only one time it didn't completely cure me. The people working here are very professional and know their stuff. Their diagnoses and treatments have been spot on every time. This last time Caitlyn helped me with a case of shoulder/arm nerver pain where it felt like someone was whacking my funny bone around the clock. By making me aware of bad posture , and using muscle and tissue stimulations combined with stretches and strengthening exercises I'm now completely pain free. Awesome work!"

"Worked with Minori Osako for a few months. Came in with what I believed to be some sciatic nerve pain along one of my legs. Worked it out with some gentle exercise and manual therapy over a few weekly visits. Attempted to work on some other physical muscle and nerve conditions for a couple more months with some level of relief. Minori is a good friendly PT with the hands on and therapy selections. The best part is that every session often begins with 10-20 minutes of manual or massage types of therapy depending on your condition. The more traditional types of self exercise and stretching therapies often follow. Where this place really needs help is in the facility itself. It's naturally cold, especially downstairs. The A/C was broken all summer and the bathrooms are downstairs, which is difficult and inconvenient if for mobility issues or disabilities. There is a chair lift to help with those who can't do stairs. The main entrance has a step, and the room entrance has or sort wonky uneven street ramp into the building. The equipment could use some upgrading with some worn out upholstery and a squeaky broken bike with a bad crank. There's no recumbent bike for people with mobility issues. Billing and copays are easy and can be handled on the spot. Fairly convenient location on NW Cornell. There's usually spots to park outside in the main lot, you can park directly in-front even though it's not marked. Covid protocols of wearing a mask were observed and required. All in all this place is decent. Thanks Minori."

"This was my first time getting physical therapy, and I had a phenomenal experience. I was suffering from pain due to adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and had very limited mobility. Luckily, I had the privilege of working with both Brian Blevins and Greg Coleman. I already knew Brian was awesome because he was my previous fitness trainer, so I initiated therapy with him. Due to my work schedule, I ended up completing the rest of my therapy with Greg, who was amazing, hilarious, and kind. Both of them put their patients first, are extremely knowledgeable, very professional, thorough, and hands on. Because of their help, I was able to recover within 2 months, which is unheard of for frozen shoulder."

Minori diagnosed my problem (pinched nerve) very quickly and set up an individualized plan to help me out. I have been improving ever since, I can sit and walk pain free now.

I am about to end mil 8 week therapy with her and through her direction and treatment my problem with my spine has greatly improved.

He's patient, kind, and so extremely knowledgeable. He doesn't just tell you what exercises to do--he shares why you are doing them and how they help. He is so easy to work with and genuinely cares about his clients. He also sees my teenage daughter as she is recovering from hip surgery. Brian always has her best interest in mind and I can't even express how much of an encouraging influence he has been in her life during her recovery. He is one of those adults that you know are going to leave a positive lasting impact on your kid. She just told me last week that going to PT is the highlight of her week. 🙂 I have to give a shout out to Lisa also.

"I had pain in my feet for weeks, sometimes burning and intense. I have a complicated set of chronic medical conditions that cause symptoms in my lower legs and elsewhere. My foot doctor recommended an adjustment to my orthotics to add more cushion as well as PT to strengthen my ankles and help my balance. I was evaluated by Robbi at the Hillsboro Clinic, who immediately identified tight calf muscles and the need to strengthen my lower leg muscles to improve my balance and to support my arthritic bones in the right manner. Even after the first appointment with Robbi at the Hillsboro clinic I knew we were on the right path. I followed up with my home stretches and PT, noticing improvements every week. I was able part way through my nine PT appointments with Robbi in June 2020, to wear normal tennis shoes again instead of the clunky leather boots I had to wear all day long for weeks. I highly recommend Robbi to anyone as a PT. He is able to quickly focus in on the most important areas and he constantly solicits feedback as to how the PT and the workouts are going. This has really made a large difference in my “quality of life” and I am once again able to garden, walk, bicycle as well as continue the stretches and exercises Robbi gave me. I feel like I have gained a few more years of enjoying an active, rewarding and productive life. Thank you, StrideStrong for the level of medical know-how and skill you offer with your PT’s and THANK YOU SO MUCH, Robbi!"

"I have worked over a number of years at Stride Strong Dr. Katie Finn physical therapist over a period of years. She works quickly but carefully to make a diagnosis and begin treatment of symptoms. She works out a long term treatment plan to address the underlying source of my symptoms, educates me during each session about reasonable steps I can take to continue to heal in between our PT sessions. Stride Strong offers something very valuable, an entire hour for treatment and supervision by my PT in appropriate exercises that I can take home and practice. There is almost no turnover by the professionals and admin staff, everyone knows you personally and it shows in making adjustments to help you change appointments, tracking progress, taking time to listen to your concerns and courtesy. It's fun to come for physical therapy, receive highly professional assistance from people offer such personal attention. My doctor is also a fan. "

"I was recently studied for long term lower back and hip pain at St. Vincent's Hospital. The findings indicated that I suffered from "severe scolios with secondary degenerative changes." Following the results my internist MD referred me to Stride Strong Physical Therapy to prevent the additional loss of mobility and to achieve a more active lifestyle. During November I met with James Cavin, a therapist at the Cedar Mill Clinic, to develop a plan to restore my balance and participation in physical activities again. I found James to be well organized, caring and supportive of the process; he discusses each activity and it's role in the plan. He is a great communicator and his positive approach reflects on the success of the program. I feel better. Bottom Line: During my many years in Oregon I have attended physical therapy programs at three different organizations and found Stride Strong and James Cavin to be the best in Portland. I would give them a positive rating and refer my friends in the future."

He has me working on various areas of stretching, balancing and I even got on a bicycle for the first time in years. I am improving and more importantly I trust Robi's guidance and instruction and am doing exercises at home. Thank you Robi!"

"ALICE IS THE BOMB DOT COM!!! I came in with very limited mobility and strength in my lower half due to a bad car accident a year ago that left me unable to walk. A year of PT (and multiple other specialist) under my belt and I was still having terrible back pain, constant discomfort in my pelvis, daaaily soft tissue disfunction, and an unbalanced/unhappy life. THEN CAME ALICE! I moved here for pelvic rehabilitation and Within 2 months I am running on a treadmill, biking, jumping, balancing(work in progress ha) squatting (with low weight count), my pelvis is finnnnnally getting the control and strength to allow proper soft tissue function, my nights are filled with sleep instead of tossing, I am more consistent all-together with the functioning of my internal organs, and MOST importantly my mental health has surpassed all doubts of fully recovering. I am much more hopeful in my recovery, I am happier in my life, I am more joyful in my days, I get excited to exercise and watch my body grow, my balance is getting better every. single. day, I am able to do all things with more ease and less worry. I don’t travel with an entire “rehab kit” in my trunk anymore “just in case I need my tens unit,” or heating pad, or tennis ball, etc. I am feeling FREEEEEEEEEEEE OF INJURY!!! And you can’t put a price on that! With quite a ways to still go (lol) I am so eager to conquer the rest of this journey. Thank you Alice for being so kind, knowledgeable, patient and fierce!

It was the perfect balance (no pun in intended) of gentle and progressively challenging work, including direct manipulation, stretching, and strength building.

"Andrew and the team at Stride Strong enabled me to run a marathon after a case of runner's knee. I decided to give Stride Strong a shot in July because the physical trainers at Intel were booked about a month ahead of time and I needed to figure out how to recover from a bad case of runner's knee. Andrew was able to see me quickly and helped me add a regime of exercise that would allow me to recover from my injury, run my marathon in October, and (hopefully) prevent it from happening again in the future. Andrew is a very helpful and personable Physical Trainer and was honest and open about what we needed to do to help my knee recover. As a plus, Stride Strong also accepted my insurance (Kaiser), though there were a few hitches early on with billing. I'd recommend Stride Strong to anyone who has athletic goals and is working through an injury."

"I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in June, which resulted from an untreated foot injury in Feb. 2017. I had pain in my foot for over 2 years because no one suggested physical therapy after seeing 2 doctors. I saw a new podiatrist who recommended Stride Strong PT. My physical therapist is Andrew Lee. I started treatment with increased improvement after each visit. He really knows his trade. He has a great personality and sense of humor also. Currently my foot feels almost healed. I was extremely happy with Stride Strong, both with the therapist and the receptionist, who was always helpful. I highly recommend Stride Strong physical therapy for any needs your body might require. I will be returning to Strong Strong and Andrew Lee, if I develop any pain in the future, if PT is necessary.

"I worked with Curtis for a couple months on recuperation after knee surgery. I really appreciated his expertise and professionalism; at other physical therapy businesses I've felt that the therapists were trying to reach minimal levels of functionality but Curtis pushed me until I'd regained full functionality of my knee He was also very helpful in explaining the bio-mechanics of movement, which helped me to understand how my exercises would directly impact recovery. This is the only PT experience I've had where I felt 100% satisfied with the end result. I'm very grateful to Curtis and Stride Strong for the help!"

"I would like to put out a recommendation for Stride Strong Physical Therapy for anyone needing PT. I went to the Hillsboro location and couldn't be happier with my results. The staff is amazing and friendly. It feels like family there. I had Curtis Borchardt for my Physical Therapist and he was wonderful. He listened and was patient with me throughout my recovery. It felt like a partnership and his enthusiasm kept me motivated to keep going. While I am happy that I have "graduated" from physical therapy it is sad since I will no longer be going and being a part of the Stride Strong family. I will be popping in time to time to say hi and show off my walking skills since recovering from ankle surgery 5 months ago. Please give Stride Strong a try if you have any PT needs. You will not regret it!"

"Went into here with tempered expectations after having physical therapy in the past with results that merely allow me to continue my activities with the expectation that I'll need days off after for soreness in my knees. I ended up leaving feeling great and in better health than I've felt in close to a decade. Ben was not afraid use exercises/techniques that would cause minor pain/discomfort that would lead to me improving my knee tracking. Previous places had me foam rolling and going light on exercises- how does one get better doing powerful movements in sports when the 'wrong' tracking in sports is a leg exercise with the same reps with far more weight? Instead Ben had me load my knee with extensions/curls with the specific intention of strengthening my quads and hamstrings through isolation. I was also put through an exercise that was extremely uncomfortable, but not painful, by lowering my weight on one knee on a decline in order to put a load on my patella tendon. The first time I did this I quit after a few reps, in a few weeks I was able to do this with each leg 15 times each. For the first time in close to a decade I can do lunges without pain and I can play sports without the need to ice the night of and continue with any activity the next day. I will recommend Stride Strong to any of my friends and family that seek physical therapy in the future!"

He did a great job of helping to alleviate pain, and work towards improving my overall mobility in other areas that were impacting my running as well. Andrew was awesome to work with and always kept things fun and conversational!

"I am a long distance runner, and I have an exercise induced damaged left achilles tendon that was so painful that I could no longer run. The Portland Clinic's sports medicine doctor Jonathan Crist referred me to Stride Strong, and their physical therapist Curtis Borchardt began working with me to resolve my problem. He developed a schedule and strategy which included a number of exercises, and also recommendations on techniques that would improve healing. He also provided me with many do's and don'ts to improve the healing process. Curtis developed a "slow but sure" plan allowing me to begin to run again after my achilles was beginning to heal. Curtis is wonderful in dealing with people, takes great care to ensure that I'm doing the exercises correctly and frequently, and that those exercises do not cause undue pain or additional damage. I still have a few more sessions with Curtis, but I am well on my way to recovery, and I would definitely recommend Stride Strong and Curtis Borchardt to anyone needing physical therapy!!"

Curtis provided a myriad of exercises that, over time, enabled my son the necessary tools to fully recover from his arm pain. Curtis also provided shoulder stabilization exercises, to ensure the entire arm was fully healthy and prepared to get back into throwing ahead of spring baseball. His own professional athletic history was also a motivating factor for my son, to know that he reached his childhood dreams, and that anything is possible for my son if he works hard to achieve his. Dr Borchardt’s schedule works well for families, allowing for later afternoon/early evening appointments as to not affect school and work schedules. Curtis has also followed up after we completed our sessions to ensure there haven’t been any setbacks. Highly recommended!"

"I am a amateur runner. I came to Stride Strong after a having issues with my knee which limited my running mileage. Curtis was my physical therapist and guided me throughout my recovery period. The biggest challenge was identifying the cause for my symptoms which tend to show rarely or when I am running for longer periods of time. He would listen patiently to my description of how these symptoms show. From there, we worked on some basic exercises to strengthen my lower body. He would give simple tips to ensure my form is right even while I am working by myself at home. About 75% of the exercises he prescribes can be worked at home which was great for a guy like me that hardly finds time to hit the gym. With each passing session, I could tell I am improving as I noticed my symptoms show in-frequently and the intensity of the pain reduced. Curtis was amazing in that he would give you exercises that work well for you and he would explain the mechanics of it. This is crucial to understanding how your body works while performing long repetitive activity like running and how to correct yourself (stretching-wise or warming-up) as you progress. I loved working with Curtis throughout this recovery process and I am happy with the progress I made with him as my guide."

When Stride Strong hired a new therapist, Curtis Borchardt, Alice suggested I transfer to him. I was skeptical at first, as Curtis is a former NBA basketball player, and I assumed his only interest and expertise would be sports injuries. I was wrong. Curtis' knowledge base is broad and deep. He went the extra mile to help me understand what I needed to do to rehabilitate from a joint replacement. He was insightful and creative in finding exercises that would work for me.

Great decision. Alice assessed my back issues and laid out a plan to fix me. Improved my bad posture habits, provided me the exercise that I needed to ensure that I stay correct. My back rarely hurts anymore, unless I do something stupid. But I now have the tools to keep me healthy. I saw Curtis for my chronic knee issues, that I have had since the military. Curtis, being a former NBA player, has been on both sides of PT. Just like Alice, he tests, listens and assesses before laying out treatment. My knee went from giving out multiple times a day, to not having an issue in months. 5+ stars for both Alice and Curtis. If I have any further issues with anything, I will be back. Availability of my desired times was great. Front desk and billing; Kystle remembered my name every time I came in, always had a smile, very polite on the phone, great social skills, always helpful when I had to move an appointment due to work escalations etc. One of the best parts, I never had any billing issues with my insurances. This is rare, when you have multiple insurances, no issues at Stride Strong for me though. Congrats on your move to billing mgr. Veronique was a new addition, for my last few visits before I was discharged for my knee. She too was very friendly, professional and also helped out with a few time moves for me.

At first I was a little skeptical - I had messed up a disk in my lower back about 6 months prior and had been going to a chiropractor but didn’t seem to be progressing. So I tried PT here instead with Alice. She worked with me twice a week for about 6 weeks and helped me with stretch and massage and alignment. It did not always feel great in the sessions, but afterwards I would always feel better. She gave me exercises to do on my own and gave me a list of activities to do and ones to avoid. She also explained to me why the chiropractor was not helping my specific situation (when to go to a chiropractor VS when to go to PT). A few months after I seriously had no flare ups and my back feels really great even today about 8 months later. I am only in my 20’s so I was pretty afraid that I was going to have back problems for the rest of my life, but Alice is the one that actually helped me recover and am so thankful for that!!

"The best physical therapy ever. Both JP and Sydney were a great PT, they helped me understand how I can help treat my injury and how it may have caused. And also they informed about so many techniques that I can use to help my injuries or any other injuries I get in the near future. They are both friendly and nice to talk too, and verbunformative. And there is also Krystal, she is the best front desk receptionist ever, she is nice and friendly and can easily manage your schedule based on the patients comfort if they want to schedule or not. She can help and she replies fast to any patients email. And she is easy to talk to. Thank you Stride Strong Physical Therapy."

"I am 75 years old and have struggled with back issues for over 30 years. I had a laminectomy in the mid 1980s, spinal steroid injection in the early 2000s and a hip replacement in 2006. Each of these procedures gave some relief from acute pain but I was nevertheless left with residual lower back pain that in recent years became worse, seriously interfering with my ability to play golf and walk for exercise, a depressing state of affairs for someone like me who values fitness. I was determined to fight it, trying chiropractors, acupuncture, massage, hot tubs, gym trainers and a regular regimen of stretching to little or no lasting avail. A friend recommended Stride Strong Physical Therapy on Cornell Road, Portland, Oregon. I was dubious about trying yet another program for relief, but am now delighted I did. After 7 sessions with Clinician Ben Nelson, I am hiking in the Gorge and walking 18 holes pain free. Aside from being a nice, unpretentious guy, Ben wastes no time getting to the heart of things, zeroing in on goals and the real impediments to achieving them. In my case, Ben first focused on strengthening hips and thighs. I hadn't realized how much of the pain I was experiencing playing golf involved those areas. He then moved to the lower back band with deep tissue work. The combination seems to be working far in excess of my expectations. Five Stars for sure."

Paul showed me not only how to get better, but also how to strengthen my legs and improve my gait to avoid a future injury. It really helps to know the mechanics of your physical therpapy, and Paul is great at explaining the root causes of your injury and answering questions. He shows you how to do the excercises, practices them with you, and gives you a hand written explanation; he does not just point you at a web site. I would say that I recovered nearly 100%, and I am an older patient. The staff at Stride Strong is friendly and supportive. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone in need of an experienced and knowledgable pysical therapist."

"First of all, I would like to say that prior to finding Stride Strong, I had been prescribed physical therapy 3 times. My doctors referred me to the PT facilities within their large healthcare organizations and the facilities were large, well furnished and impressive looking. However, each course of treatments lasted 6+ weeks and I saw ZERO results. I honestly thought PT was a scam. After years of pain and ineffective treatments, an Orthopedic surgeon suggested I needed a total hip replacement and while I was terrified, I was ready to do anything to stop the pain. Online I read that PT can help prepare for surgery and speed recovery so I decided I would try PT again (self-prescribed, which my insurance luckily allowed). While searching online, I found Stride Strong and wrote a pathetic email describing my condition and asking if they could help, not expecting much. Owner Alice Holland replied very quickly and said she was sure she could help, so I made an appointment. The magic she performed over the next couple of months was nothing short of amazing and as my surgery date started getting close and my improvement as ongoing, I decided to cancel the operation. During my treatments I saw both Alice, Katie Finn and Nick Chamley, and every one of them did fantastic work in a professional and warm manner, combining both exercises and manual work to help loosen stiff muscles and frozen joints. Unfortunately, a few months later, my insurance ran out (I was not aware that I could only have 20 treatments a year under the plan) so I had to stop. I tried to continue the exercises I'd been working on, but without the hands on work to keep my muscles loosened up, and the supervision to make sure I was doing the exercises correctly, progress first stalled and then reversed. Almost 18 months later, I did have to go through with the hip replacement the day before Thanksgiving 2015. Before the operation, I again returned to Stride Strong to prepare and again made good progress, but not enough to cause me to cancel the operation since my condition had deteriorated significantly. A week after surgery, I returned for additional follow-up rehab and again, the progress was pretty amazing. We were trying to get as much therapy in as possible before the end of the year (in 3 wks) because I had a large deductible and couldn't afford therapy after the first of the year. During this course of treatment, I saw a therapist named Chantal (who has since left) and with her guidance and skill, I was far enough along to continue on my own after the year ended. I felt that the speed of my recovery was truly miraculous. Unfortunately during my years with the bad hip, I had put my knees through hell and when the hip stopped screaming in pain, my knees fired up and I was told I would need them both replaced. Not wanting to commit to that just yet but getting to the point where I could barely stand for more than a couple of minutes and was always in fairly severe pain, I again decided to return to Stride Strong about a month ago. This time my therapist is Brian Blevins and he's doing a great job...always helpful, cheerful and willing to listen to my input and adjust or add exercises to make the treatment more successful. Already my knees are hardly bothering me at all (we're still working on somewhat minor issues to get them comfortable when fully extended, but no other pain left in my knees). We're still working on the extreme tightness in my calves and loosening up my hips, but those issues are coming along too. Having now worked with a number of the therapists at Stride Strong I am amazed at the quality of service and the compassion of everyone involved in the clinic(s). Every therapist there is truly talented, accomplished and knowledgeable as well as being kind, compassionate and caring human beings. I really can't recommend Stride Strong more highly. If your doctor suggests PT for you, don't waste your time or money at one of the big institutional PT clinics they will probably refer you to. Stride Strong is exactly what you need!"

Brian helped me strengthen the muscles in my left leg along with doing a lot of soft tissue work to insure that the operation would go smoothly. This was a winning technique, and I have since been recuperating from the surgery quickly and pretty easily (as compared to my recovery period from a total tight knee operation in 2010). He pushes me to work hard on strengthening and stretching, but it is all worth the effort. I am very glad that I found Stride Strong."

"I went to Stride Strong physical therapy for a mysterious and nagging knee injury that was hurting at seemingly random times and not allowing me to play sports aggressively. My physical therapist Chantel put me through a series of tests and measurements and determined that my body was compensating for a small prior injury in ways that over time really weakened one of my legs and gave me really bad form when walking and running. I hadn't noticed but my injured knee was bending much differently than my healthy knee. Thankfully Chantel caught this issue and probably saved me from eventual surgery if I had continued to let my form worsen by compensating for the injured / weak leg. Instead she directed me through a series of targeted exercises that started basic and low stress and then got more advanced over 2 months of PT. After regularly completing the pt sessions and at-home exercise program, I've strengthened my core and leg muscles and regained proper sports form. I'm back to playing all-out, thanks Chantel, office manager Lisa, and all the other great staff at Stride Strong!!"

"My experience with Stride Strong has been really good. I started earlier this year with their running evaluation and got some good tips to improve my form, including running tips and stretching, strengthening to improve my specific weaknesses. I ended up back there in the summer when some over-training resulted in a worsening insertional achilles tendonitis injury. Dr. Holland helped identify the problem and some solutions to try. After a few sessions, which included massaging the achilles area and stretching and strengthening, the problem began to reverse and I was able to continue with the rehab on my own as I gradually increased my running mileage and being careful not to do anything too stupid. Amazingly, I was able to train hard by mid-September and October for a marathon, setting a PR by 36 minutes and getting a BQ time last weekend. Had the injury lingered, it wouldn't have happened this year."

Knowing how weak my tendons have always been, I knew this could be an arduous process. Dr. Nick tried several approaches to healing me--stretching, scraping, electronic pulses, strengthening exercises, etc. Most worked, some didn't. Once we found a plan for me, and the pain began to subside, I was overjoyed. I put my full confidence in Stride Strong, and they didn't disappoint. I don't know what I would have done without them. Usually, I just let the injury go until--after months and months of discomfort--MAYBE it heals. This was just too painful to let go. They not only made the pain go away but educated me on how to keep it away as well as deal with any flare-ups. And besides their super-friendly, accommodating staff and relaxed environment, there's Dr. Nick's dog, Chomsky. Chomsky is quite the mellow mascot. I miss his fuzzy face... Thanks Stride Strong!!"

She even taught me some strengthening exercises for my shoulders when they started acting up. At one of the appointments, she took video as I ran on a treadmill and reviewed the footage with me to show me all the things I was doing that were contributing to my pain. She then showed me how to modify my running to utilize my strengthened muscles and take the impact off my joints. Before Stride Strong, I had stopped my running and workouts because my knees were so swollen and painful. Now I'm training my muscles, supporting my knees, and running better each day.

The physical therapists are second to none. I have been able to work mainly with Alice and a little bit with Melissa. Both are great. When I first went to Alice, I had been told by two different doctors that I probably had a slipped disk. I wanted a second opinion (or third I guess :)). It was excruciating! I couldn't sit down and hadn't been able to for almost two months. Alice did her assessment and determined that I had a severe back spasm. We started having two sessions a week and I started to see improvement faster than I thought I would. Long story short, I was able to get better My next series of sessions were at the Cedar Mills facility and I had great results again. I have total faith in Alice to handle my PT needs. I would recommend her and Stride Strong to my friends and I recommend Stride Strong to you."

Dr. Holland DPT was very easy to work with and she really listened to my concerns and questions. The location on the east side of the Sellwood Bridge is also very convenient!”

“My experience at Stride Strong was fantastic. I came in with severe foot pain that was keeping me from training for the Portland Marathon. Dr. Holland DPT had me back out and running within just two visits. She was encouraging and dedicated to getting me healthy so I could still complete my race. The equipment and facilities are top of the line and I was given extremely personalized care. Dr. Holland DPTis a runner herself and is very aware of the need we runners feel to be out there training. I felt very supported through my injury and would definitely recommend Stride Strong to any runner struggling through a setback.”

“Everyone is so helpful and cheerful. Such a good healing environment. They wanted and helped me recover from a serious injury with compassion and at times a little prodding to continue working toward my goal. I’m back to normal now!”
