When I first started coming here I could barely move. My pain was constant and no matter what I did the pain was unbearable. I could not sit or stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Now I can do so many more things that I didn't think I would ever be able to get back to. I can workout with no pain and the stretches that they gave me to do work magic as long as you stick to it. Coming here was one of the best decisions I ever made. This place is awesome.

I am pleased with LB. I feel much stronger since coming here. My balance was not good before.

My experience here has been wonderful. Everyone here has been so good and very helpful. I would definitely recommend Stretch Physical Therapy to anyone. The therapists know what they are doing. The receptionist is great and works with you to schedule out your appointments (Alana).

Pain from a meniscus tear in my right knee was getting too bad to deal with, so I scheduled a surgery to get is scoped and started PT at Stretch. Long story short, the girls at Stretch have me on the right track and have me feeling well enough to cancel my surgery and get on with things. Thanks

My journey began with the orthopedic doctor telling me the only cure for my foot pain was surgery. He stated I could try PT if I wanted to. I certainly would do the PT. The next phase was to find where to go. I checked Mercy PT facilities and I found Stretch. I worked with LB. She told me at my initial eval that they could help me. I was somewhat guarded but I would give it a chance. Through her guidance, I can honestly say my foot is pain free and I am back to doing all the active things I love. Thank you LB and Stretch!

I came in somewhat guarded. I did not know what to expect here. I had a bad experience with PT from a different place. My first day here all of my reservations about physical therapy went out the window. Everyone here is beyond friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. LB, is great! With her help and knowledge, I’ve improved my range of motion.

I’m leaving here feeling better than I have in a long time, and with the determination to continue to improve my overall health. Much gratitude to everyone here at Stretch.

Before I started this program, I used to not be able to take walks and my feet hurt every night. Now I am taking walks, cutting grass, and do not have the pain I used to.

Having completed treatment with a chiropractor, my expectations coming to Stretch were to loosen my shoulder and hip joints, and work on loosening my back and leg muscles.

Coming in I could not carry a 20lb. photographic backpack and I definitely could not carry it for two miles. Now I walk one and a half miles with 12lbs. easily, and feel confident that in a couple of weeks I will be able to carry the 20lbs, thanks to LB.

I came to Stretch PT after an injury caused a large herniated disc between S1 and L5. My pain and range of motion was preventing me from doing daily living activities such as walking up and down stairs, driving my car (without intense pain), as well as difficulty sleeping at night. After only 16 PT sessions with Katie, I am functioning at almost where I was prior to my injury. My pain is totally controlled by doing the at home exercises I was instructed to do. Katie was always thorough, checked for proper form, and made sure I was doing my exercises properly at home. The encouragement and support were excellent from the entire Stretch Team. The office girls were awesome at helping me push through my C9 to ensure my PT was covered by my workers' comp claim I will continue to follow up as needed and would recommend Stretch to family and friends who might need their services.

When I first came, I had a lot of wrist pain and limited motion. Katie and all of the staff helped me get my wrist back in working order. 5 stars! Thanks, Stretch.

I came to Stretch PT to get help with my shoulder pain. Lifting as well as some daily activities were becoming problematic. The combination of manual therapy and exercises LB used in my therapy has really helped to alleviate my shoulder pain. I have improved strength and mobility and now feel so much better! I have enjoyed working with LB and also enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at Stretch.

I have been suffering with lower back pain for years, to the point of not being able to on my shoes and socks. I have been to numerous doctors and physical therapists facilities with no pain relief. A friend recommended I go to Stretch PT, and it was the best move ever! LB is amazing. In just a few short weeks the pain was gone and I was able to move again. Thank you LB and the rest of the wonderful staff.

I couldn’t stand for long periods of time before starting physical therapy. I also couldn’t sit for long periods of time. Now, I am at nearly 100% instead of being achy every morning when I wake up.

I never felt well when I came in the first time. After several weeks it was like a complete change in range of motion...Perfect. Great.

Before PT I had to use my cane 90% of the time to do daily activities. Today I am 10% and know I will be hanging up my cane for good one day soon.

The hand on therapy I received at Stretch has really made a difference. I have been instructed on how to do my exercises at home to keep my body strong and healthy. I am especially thankful for the education I received from Dr. LB.

I recommend Stretch to anyone I meet, who needs good PT care. I will continue to sing the praises of the staff and therapists. Thank you!

I would enthusiastically recommend Stretch to anyone having pain. My experience has been great. I had been having tightness in my neck and shoulders due to my forward head posture. The hands on therapy along with the strengthening exercises have improved my neck and shoulders greatly and have proven to be effective. Thanks to everyone at Stretch!

I came to Stretch with painful bursitis in my hip. It was swollen, painful, and limiting my normal activities; specifically, I was modifying my usual exercise routine to prevent further discomfort. The swelling, while not completely gone, is down from where it was. The pain is only noticeable with direct and forceful pressure on the spot I injured. I am now able to workout as I like without fear of pain. The entire staff at Stretch is amazing. I always looked forward to my visits and will miss coming, which seems crazy. 🙂 Double thumbs up!

I have always managed my health through chiropractic care, yoga, and a healthy lifestyle. However this low back, chronic pain, was a nuisance and the pain eventually escalated to ten. I ended up losing the ability to drive and keep up with my activities. I have chronic conditions that I manage, so for me...if I can get my pain level under a three I’m happy 🙂 I loved working with Mike. He patiently and firmly helped me to become aware of some bad habits I developed over the years! With his direction, I’ve had massive improvements in my strength. One of my “non-negotiables” now is starting the day with my PT exercises. As a devoted patient of chiropractic I’ve experienced now adding in PT has complimented my overall care. I love the staff at Stretch Physical Therapy. My tool box of chiropractic care, gentle yoga, healthy diet, etc. now includes physical therapy. Consistently practicing this routine of care helps me to be my best!

Prior to physical therapy I had a lot of neck and shoulder pain. I was not able to turn my head without pain. At Stretch, the PT and Staff are very experienced and kind but you are kept accountable. I started to see improvement almost immediately. LB has been wonderful and very talented. I did laser therapy and cupping which are very helpful as well. Today I am feeling 90% better. I plan to keep up with monthly maintenance for neck and to see the lovely people at Stretch! 🙂

Before physical therapy I had pain in my knee and hip when I would dance. It was hard to do a lot of the moves I was required to do. After physical therapy, the pain in my knee and hip is basically gone. I have improved in dance and the pain related to my hypermobility is also down to a minimum. I love physical therapy and seeing how much I have improved.

I came to Stretch PT to lean to better manage my lower back pain. I do my new stretching exercises, which work well for me. The Stretch team wanted to develop and learn more, as I found that it would take longer to “bounce back from a back pain episode”. I have learned more about stretching and strengthening techniques through my sessions here, as well as the concept of strengthening the core at home.

I almost got in two wrecks because I couldn't move my neck to the right to see if there was a car beside me. I had a lot of pain when I played chain volleyball and now I don't. I used to have about 6 pillows I would use throughout the night. I couldn't get my neck comfortable. I can use one pillow all night without pain now. When I talked to friends that were on the second floor, my neck would kill me even if I moved farther. I now have no more pain.

About 5 years ago, I started coming to physical therapy for my Achilles. Even though it hurts sometimes, you have to push through it to get better. It feels 50% than it did in the beginning.

When I first came to Stretch, I had continuous low back and hip pain that made it very difficult to do housework or walk my dog. Thanks to the Stretch team, I am doing much better. I also started going to an exercise program and changed my eating habits and I started to lose weight. All of this together has helped tremendously.

For over a year and a half, I dealt with hip area pain. I have been to four different doctors and have had two cortisone injections later and nothing was helping. After hearing Kim on the radio, I decided to try Stretch. After about three months of therapy, I am mostly pain free, and my flexibility has greatly improved. I recommend Stretch before ever considering surgery. It kept me out of the operating room!

Before Stretch, I struggled with knee problems. Stretch performed very professional and took care of my pain and problems. I would highly recommend anyone for their problems.

My experience at Stretch was great. I came in with a lower lumbar strain that has been recurring over the last couple of years. I saw a few different physical therapists and all were very professional and knowledgeable and helped me deal with my injury. The exercises and stretches that I was shown were very useful and helped me continue to be able to work. I don't have the severe back pain that I had a few months before thanks to the hard work of everyone at Stretch!

I had neck and back pain. I also had trouble turning my head while driving and changing lanes. My back pain would wake me up at night. I went to several other physical therapists and had minimal success. I have had all great experiences here with the Stretch Team. They have worked closely with me and the limitations I have due to my MS. I am mostly pain free.

I’ve had a problem with by lower back for at least 3-4 years, especially my lower left side. I’ve had to do a lot of stretches before, during, and after playing tennis. In 2016, it seemed to get worse along with my right hip. I didn’t know if I wanted laser surgery on my back, or hip replacement, and right or left knee replacement. I did my hip first then opted for “Stretch P.T.” instead of possibly laser spine. I do know I have stenosis and arthritis L-4, L-5. After having physical therapy, my back seemed to calm down enough that I could do normal daily things that was limited before physical therapy. I still can’t run or play tennis yet. I need to take care of my left knee first. I believe that’s part of my left back problem. Thanks Stretch!

When I started here I was in pain on most anything I did. Now I can do most anything I want with not much pain. If I have pain I do some of my stretches and they help quite a bit.

I’m a gymnast and had very very bad back pain to the point where it hurt to stand up and go up and down the stairs. I had to stop practicing because it much so much strain on my back. When I started at Stretch, I was very weak and there was a lot of things that hurt. Through the process of strengthening exercises at Stretch and at home, my pain gradually started to lessen. By the end, I had no pain and am now allowed to start going back to practice and gradually add back in the skills I could once do so easily.

I had a back spasm that lasted over 2 weeks. Some pain medication dulled the pain, but I couldn't walk more than 200 feet, go up and down stairs or even carry anything over 20 pounds; including my son. After a few sessions, the Stretch team found a way to remove the pain entirely. They didn’t stop there, they worked to find the source of the problem and after fixing that, they helped me to build stability and then gain more strength. With the exercises to take home, the healing process has been life changing. Now I can exercise, do house and yard work, and more importantly carry my son.

Before I came to Stretch, I had been to numerous doctors and chiropractors and have had numerous amounts of tests done. I was in so much pain that my husband had to pull me out of a chair most of the time. Now I am back to moving, stretching and doing daily activities. I am so glad that I was sent to Stretch!

Before Stretch, I had lots of pain on my left side. It always felt like there was a knife being pushed in my hip. I had a hard time walking and sleeping. I had slight low back pain and very sore hips from walking and doing house work. Also it was hard to walk very far and I couldn’t stand for more than a couple minutes. Exercising and getting more strength and rest is the answer. Thanks to Stretch I am so much better.

I had a very good experience at Stretch. Everyone was very nice and extremely helpful. I had difficulty walking before I came to Stretch, but I can now move much better!

Before I came back to Stretch, my pain was starting to act up. I knew the summer and after more activities were about to begin, so I decided to get a head start on the pain. When I returned, they suggested the deep laser therapy. After about 12 sessions, my pain is completely gone. Before if I did too much, my sciatic nerve would knot up, causing pain and numbness down my leg. Now both are gone, I do not have trouble gardening. I have used Stretch before to prevent going for more injections and surgeries. I use them now with even better results and I hope to continue to see them in the future. Thanks Stretch!

I came to Stretch in search of help for my chronic neck pain; I’d been going to a chiropractor regularly for a few months, and although I would occasionally get relief but it was always temporary--sometimes the pain had returned by the time I got home from the chiropractor. I’d driven by Stretch many times, and I am not sure what made me finally make an appointment...but I’m so glad I did! The combination of hands-on treatment and exercise instruction made all the difference for me. In two months, I went from barely being able to turn my head from side to side to moving freely, pain free! The whole team at Stretch is fantastic and the atmosphere is fun and encouraging. I highly recommend them!

When I first came to Stretch, I came with a recommendation and an injured shoulder. Unlike other physical therapy locations I have been to, Stretch has a more personal approach. The therapists at Stretch did not only focus on my shoulder, but also the surrounding and associated muscle groups. The result has been a more complete recovery. I recently injured my hamstring and made sure that my orthopaedist referred me to Stretch. The staff is very thorough, professional and attentive. Again, rather than focus on my hamstring, they also considered surrounding, contributing muscle groups which led to a complete and full recovery.

After trying a variety of things to help my tennis elbow, I found myself at Stretch Physical Therapy. It was through their treatment plan that I finally started to experience relief, and have actual healing. Stretch was able to identify the root cause and help me work through the issue, which in turn helped my elbow. When I came to Stretch, I was not able to use a blow dryer, mop the floor, or attend a regular Pilates class. After Stretch, I was able to use my blow dryer without pain, pull my luggage through the airport, and return to my regular Pilates class. I am truly thankful to everyone at Stretch Physical Therapy!

Before I came to Stretch, I had trouble opening jars. I can now open jars with no problem. I also had trouble reaching over my head and behind my back. I feel much better now, and I am no longer waking up in pain. Thanks Stretch!

I was dizzy when I began to sleep on my left side, now not so much! I went to the hairdressers and when they put my head back and upwards, I started to feel very dizzy. Now I have no problem, the Stretch team helped to cure my vertigo. I am no longer dizzy and do not have any more problems.

When I came here I had difficulty reaching with my left arm, then it froze. We have worked through all that. Now I can wash my hair and curl it no trouble. I can also dry my back. I can now get things off the end table on my left side with my left arm. I am pretty much back to normal now. The people here at Stretch are very nice and informative. Thanks Stretch!

I had a bad case of plantar fasciitis, for which I had to wear a boot and walk with crutches. I was not allowed to put any weight on my foot for about five weeks. After treatments, my doctor recommended that I go to Physical Therapy. A friend at church told me what a great experience they had at Stretch PT. I decided to give Stretch a try and I am glad that I did. You can be assured that the people at Stretch Pt know what to do and how to do it right. As a bonus, they are very nice people to work with. Now I can do all the things I used to do with pain. Thanks Stretch!

When I first started with Stretch Physical Therapy I needed at least 30 minutes to feel better after getting out of bed. After sitting at my desk at work, I needed to bend over to walk for a few minutes. Ever since I started doing physical therapy, I have had much less trouble with these activities. Most days everything is so much better.

I have degenerative disk disease in my lower lumbar region and in my neck. I was invited to Stretch through a workshop. Before Stretch, I had trouble sitting in a chair for hours, standing in one place for a long period of time, and even waking up in the morning was difficult because of the pain. Now I am able to do exercises to prevent pain, I can even go to the gym, and sit and stand without pain. I really didn’t want to leave, but I know that I needed to move on. Everyone has been so kind, so caring and extremely knowledgeable. I truly love everyone here and I will stay in touch. Thanks Stretch!

I had been experiencing back pain for a long period of time, but after moving to a different home, it increased to the point of interference with my sleep, and daily functions. The sciatica, low back pain was awful and I knew that I was also out of shape, and didn’t even know where to begin. Doing simple exercises seemed to make everything worse. I happened to see an ad on our local “Nextdoor” app asking: “Are you suffering from back pain and Sciatica?” offering a free seminar at Stretch Physical Therapy. Attending the seminar, and subsequent therapy sessions was the best decision I ever made! Staff has been great throughout the entire process. I have had a few setbacks, but they continued to encourage me to work through them, and results will be gained. Prior to this treatment, I was unable to carry laundry basket, ride in cars for any length of time, and do any exercises to help prevent the dreaded weight gain. Prior to discharge they increased the difficulty of the exercises to ensure that I truly will be able to resume exercises in a safe manner, and to avoid potential injuries.

When I started, I could barely stand up straight. I can now perform all normal function. The staff at Stretch was very professional and very helpful.

I have had a long history of back pain, starting from my stint in the army, which was almost 10 years ago, with per flares every few years. The last flare started about 2 years ago. The doctors and other physical therapist I have seen have not helped much. Coming to Stretch has been a totally different experience. The combination of laser and physical therapy here has been totally effective. I have not just felt pain reduction, but also a fluidity of movement that I have not felt in years. The laser is very relaxing and seems to help initiate the physical therapy session with great results.

When I first came to Stretch I could not lift a golf club due to pain. I slowly got the swing back but use ice between holes and Motrin. I’m adjusting my swing and continue to improve. I look forward to once again being pain free playing golf. My pain level has gone from a 10 to a 2 or 3 at the tee.

My lumbar back pain had gotten so bad that I could not rollover in bed. Most significantly, I had to discontinue my lap swimming. After 2-1/2 months of physical therapy, Stretch has resolved all my pain issues, and has gotten me to where I am able to swim again.

I initially started PT several weeks ago with limited mobility. My symptoms were that I couldn’t walk too far and I couldn’t bend over or stand up. I was unable to do various tasks at home and at work. My personal restrictions were different chores at home, like washing the dishes, which resulted in severe pain. I have a little more flexibility now after physical therapy with Stretch. Now with the proper exercises for home and work, I am able to enjoy life with less pain.

I came in with a lot of ankle pain and it made it difficult for me to figure skate. After a few visits, I feel 100% better. Stretch helped me get back to competing and doing everyday activities. Everyone was so nice and they all helped me to become pain free.

Before physical therapy, I needed to relearn all the activities that I used to perform years ago, before the injury and hip replacement. The Stretch team challenged me and made my recovery very quick and rewarding. Within 3 weeks of the replacement, they had me doing activities that I had not done in years. I am now walking my dogs on the hills of Beckett Ridge.

My neighbor recommended Stretch when I complained I could not sit with my legs crossed or sleep on either hip. I could not risk this on my own so I began to work with Stretch. I got relief right away but it is a process. By the end of my session I was motivated to continue my exercises and could sit through a movie.

I fractured my L1 vertebrae and was having pain for a little over 3 and a ½ months before I came to Stretch. I started to wear a brace for the pain, when my physician recommended physical therapy. I had a hard time doing everything without having or using assistance. It was hard for me to shower, get dressed, even harder to walk and stand because of the fracture. When I came to Stretch, I came with the intention of regaining my strength from wearing a brace since my fracture. Stretch PT is so much more advanced than other Physical therapists I have been to in the past. If you try Stretch PT, you will definitely see the difference.

When I first visited Stretch, I was having pain in my lower back when I sat for over an hour, as well as whenever I bent over for gardening and even whenever I bent over to tie my shoes. After therapy, I am able to now do all of those activities without pain. And I have been given some exercises to hopefully prevent these problems in the future. Thanks to Stretch for the great care.

I received a total hip replacement and went to Stretch Physical Therapy for my post-surgery rehabilitation. After 2 weeks of PT with Andrew not only am I down to using a cane (only as needed) verses the walker I am also able to put...

Almost ready to get back to the gym!

The folks at Stretch Physical Therapy have been extremely helpful to me. Compared to other PTs, their approach is somewhat unique. They are giving me the tools to take control of my personal health program.
