MedX is Worth the Trip!
“I have had three back surgeries in my lifetime, the first being in 1989. Last October I was in intense pain and learned from a friend in our Camper Club about a doctor in Columbia who might be able to help. I made an appointment with Dr. Abernathie and he told me the best thing would be to find a therapy clinic that had MedX strengthening machines. He helped me locate the nearest one to my hometown of Aurora. I thought there would be one in Springfield, but I drove 98 miles over to Mtn. Grove to get therapy on the MedX machine at Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic. It was well worth the trip. They stretched and strengthened my spine, gave me home exercises to do and helped me get my own Roman chair so I can keep my back strong. I am so glad for their help and tell everyone I know with back pain about how Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic helped me.”

Patient Takes Control of Back Pain
“I came to therapy with ongoing lower back pain. I received excellent care and learned what I must do to strengthen my back. I also learned from (my therapist) what I needed to do and shouldn’t do to keep my back strong and healthy. I am constantly aware of the way I should sit and bend. My back is so much better. I am very thankful for my visits at Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic.”

McKenzie Method Worked When Nothing Else Did
“I had been to doctors in the past and had tried therapy. The local hospital discharged me and told me that nobody could help me. I went to a new neurosurgeon in town and he referred me to the McKenzie therapist at Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic. I was pain free after my first week. These guys really know what they are doing.”

Therapy Helps Stroke Victim Return to Normal
“I am 82 years old and I had a stroke on August 5 of this year. My doctor sent me to Physical Therapy Specialists Clinic for physical, occupational and speech-language therapy. When I came in for therapy, I needed a lot of help. They are all very good down there, but I really want to thank (my therapist) for helping me with my speech and language trouble. The first day I came in for treatment, I couldn’t get my thoughts together enough to make a sentence: the words didn’t come out right. I had given up talking all together and was sinking into depression. She has been working with me on reading, speaking, and just plain thinking. I even had homework for the first time in 70 years. Thanks to her help, I am back to my old self.”

SwimEx Eases Patient’s Fear of Pain, Speeds Recovery
“With the use of the SwimEx I was able to exercise without the fear of causing a lot more pain. I am now a lot stronger than when I began physical therapy. (My therapist) was very helpful and successful reducing my anxiety and fears about the condition of my back and the healing process. Thank you for providing such a valuable service to the community with up-to-date equipment, well-trained staff, and a more than adequate facility.”

Patient Realizes the Value of Therapy
“I never knew therapy would be so important for my broken wrist, but it sure was! I thought my ‘good life’ was over as I couldn’t move my fingers very much, but after therapy, I’m playing piano in a country gospel band!”
