I cannot say enough good things about Chesterton Physical Therapy. I had capsulitis(frozen shoulder) and low back issues. Everyone was very professional and personable. Sam at the front desk was always welcoming and would do her best to schedule appointments to meet my needs. The physical therapists, Greg and James, were excellent, patient, and gave their full attention in every session. Since I worked primarily with Greg, I want to acknowledge him for his good humor and for recognizing the type of communication and direction that works best for me. Knowing why each exercise or stretch was important and where I should feel it motivated me to do my homework. I was excited to observe my own progress, like actually being able to reach behind my back when I couldn’t do it the week prior. I learned how to lift properly and to do easy stretches that allow me to read in bed without aggravating my back. I not only regained the use of my shoulder but learned techniques to maintain my shoulder and lower back going forward. They have already become a part of my daily routine. Greg taught me more than I ever expected to get from the physical therapy experience. My advice to other patients is to make yourself a priority, even in your busy life, and do your homework consistently. It’s worth it and you’re worth it.
