Today I went to Patty Brown Physical Therapy for physical therapy. I have never had physical therapy before, but the issues with my shoulder are just impacting my basic living to such an extent that I decided I had to do it. This morning I almost had my mouth in the bowl of cereal because I can't lift the spoon to my mouth. Getting dressed and showering have become time consuming and difficult challenges. I can't pull the seat belt with my right arm or shut the front passenger's door. ENOUGH!
I dreaded the appointment. If I move my arm/shoulder in various unknowable ways I have a variety of incredibly intense pains, sometimes lasting for up to 10 minutes. I just knew this was going to hurt like hell.
Patty happened to be my therapist. She is amazing! I won't bore you with the details, but the appointment lasted about two hours. At no time did she or any of her assistants cause me pain. They were all knowledgable, professional, and genuinely warm people.
Astoundingly, I had immediate results! When I reached into my pants pocket to get out my phone to input three additional appointments, I realized I could do so with no bizarre physical contortions and absolutely no pain. This would not have been possible before the appointment. I would have had searing pain and barely been able to get my phone out. Tonight at dinner, I could lift my fork to my mouth like normal!
Already, with just one visit, I highly recommend Patty Brown Physical Therapy. Her office has a positive, friendly energy about it. The people are all genuinely pleasant, and I think that flows from her inner nature. I have always believed that the energy of a space flows from those who lead what goes on in that space. So if you need physical therapy, I recommend Patty Brown.
