I first
visited IPT in 2000 for chronic neck
and back pain. I had been to other
doctors, PT offices, pain management
centers, chiropractors, etc and was at
the end of my rope. Nothing seemed to
provide lasting relief and no one
seemed to have more than 5 minutes
before they were pushing me out the
door. I was falling deeper into
depression in addition to my physical
pain.
The physical therapy I received at IPT
by the compassionate therapists was
far superior to any I had before, and
there was plenty of time for hands-on
treatment. After a lot of hard work on
my part and theirs, I have reached a
state of happiness I didn’t think
possible and my physical pain has
drastically reduced.
When
ever I have a flare up IPT’s wonderful
staff of caring, exceptionally skilled
therapists are always there to make me
feel better. I would highly recommend
IPT to anyone!

Kimberly,
I am deeply grateful to Integrative
Physical therapy for expert and caring
help provided throughout a long and
debilitating time. When I began
treatment, I had difficulty walking
due to swollen knees, very limited
range of motion in both shoulders, and
extreme weakness. I had pain in joints
due to rheumatoid arthritis, but I had
elected not to take the usual drugs.
Over the months of treatment IPT not
only provided professional care to
regain flexibility and function, but
also a welcoming and supportive
environment. Mike has been my
therapist. He has expert knowledge of
the systems of the body, magic hands
to relieve pain, but most importantly
a happy spirit, full of humor and
encouragement. He is a dedicated
healer, always learning and sharing
with his clients. I can recommend IPT
without reservation for anyone seeking
to improve physical function.
Sincerely,

IPT is a group of caring and competent
professionals who have been supporting
my degenerative disk disease and
fibromyalgia on and off for several
years. The predominant culture at IPT
is concern for the physical and
emotional well-being of the patients.
An appointment with any of the
therapists means that you will have
their undivided, hands-on attention
and that you will not just practice
exercises. IPT is a great place to be
for anyone who suffers from pain.

I
have visited too many clinics where
their idea of physical therapy was to
send you to a series of exercise
machines for 20 minutes and then usher
you out the door with a “…we’ll see
you in two days”. While having issues
with my knees, shoulders and back,
before I discovered IPT, I was the
patient described above. Many times I
had been told by a co-worker while
suffering years of aches, pains and
sprains, that she had a cousin who ran
a great clinic, specializing in back
issues. It was not until I had an
L4-L5 laminectomy in the summer of
2002 that I finally asked for her
cousin’s information.
My rehabilitation at IPT was nothing
short of phenomenal. The care and
support shown by the dedicated staff,
from the receptionist to the owner,
certainly is an integral reason why
they have such success and loyal
clients. While the exercise machines
are present, it is the “hands-on”
approach and the personal “touch” used
when dealing with each patient’s
distinct issues and problems that
makes people come from far and wide
when in need of physical therapy.
Patients are not treated strictly as
patients. They are people who are in
need of emotional, spiritual as well
as physical support. IPT comes through
with flying colors in that regard.
Another aspect of IPT that makes them
shine as far as I am concerned is the
way they become advocates for their
patients. If something is not working,
they will look into other methods that
might show promise. They are not
afraid to speak up to doctors and
insurance companies if they believe
someone might benefit from a different
treatment.
While the reason for going to physical
therapy is usually never a happy one,
it is very comforting to know that IPT
is there, ready to offer help for the
mind, body and soul.

I felt
like I was truly listened to and given
such special attention and caring.
Everyone at IPT makes you feel like
family, it is my most favorite part of
the day. And a particular thank you to
Jill for her beautiful heart and
incredible expertise.

I can’t
really explain what Mike does, I can
only say it feels like he is putting
all the pieces back together and my
body is very grateful. It truly is
amazing. I don’t think
people know that this type of physical
therapy exists.

I thought I was going to have to have
surgery. So did my orthopedist. I
walked hunched over and crooked with a
limp for months. Then my cousin
suggested I try one last ditch attempt
before going for the knife and she
sent me to IPT. Now I thank her every
time I see her for that
recommendation. IPT got me straight,
limp free and happy. No surgery and I
am soon to begin sports again. I drive
35 minutes to IPT and it is so worth
it!

I was
diagnosed with fibromyalgia 9 years
ago and since then have tried every
therapy under the sun, and many
physical therapy clinics. I only came
to IPT because a friend of mine had
such great success and promised IPT
was different. She was wonderfully
right. I have had the most support,
relief and improvement since coming
here. The pain and flare-ups are
markedly reduced and I have regained a
lot of function. I have so much hope
now and feel like I have my life back.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
