“I have had hip joint pain for several years, to the point of having to quit doing several of my office and house cleaning jobs. I did not want to go the way of surgery, so I had put off going to the doctor for several months. Then I found out that I could get P. T. without a Dr’s referral. I found out that Chesterton P. T. is locally owned & operated, as I try to keep my business local in as many areas as I can. The kind & very happy receptionist Simone, won me over during my inquiry phone call. I found out through the knowledgeable Teju that I had poor abdominal strength and I had been using my posture to lessen my hip pain, but it was actually putting the joint in a compromised position , which really added to the pain & the problem. I also had an issue that I had no idea could be helped through P. T.; abdominal muscle separation from child bearing. I was taught to stand with better posture, taught core strengthening exercises and given deep tissue laser therapy. I was surprised at how much the stretches & exercises strengthened my core, bcs they were simple; yet doing them properly is the key. Before, I was doing exercises that were making my joint hurt more, & spreading my abdominal separation. I went from a #5 pain scale (& sometimes a#8), down to a #1/2. I am very pleased with the results. Chesterton P. T., is about 1/2 the cost of Franciscan P. T. , which was a huge bonus.”
