Physical Therapy Specialties

I just finished Lumbar Spine Fusion surgery last year. In order to complete my post-op recovery, I had to do physical therapy, so I found Valley PT Specialties SHAHRIN SHMAD on the Internet. She is a very knowledgeable professional in this area. Under her guidance for two months, I can now walk and go hiking without pain and feel so much better.

I have been going to Physical Therapy Specialists for over 6 years on and off. The staff is friendly, and very professional. They have helped me through 10 ankle surgeries, 2 shoulder surgeries , an elbow surgery, and a knee surgery. I will be going back in a while because of a back surgery I am having. Nothing has fazed them in all my injuries, they are always ready to help. I have worked with 7 or 8 different therapists in my time with them and all have been great. I would gladly recommend them to anyone who needs Physical Therapy.

Great PT location! Their staff is awesome and the warm therapy pool is literally "just what the doctor ordered". I badly broke my ankle at the end of February. After months in a boot and 3 surgeries, PT was absolutely needed. The pool and land PT helped so much. I was not only able to get strength back in my ankle, I was able to "fix" my gait which took a lot of pressure off my back too. Highly highly recommend PT Specialties, especially Ida, Dina, and Catherine.

In January, I didn’t think I could ever walk normally again. I had trouble putting on socks as couldn’t get my leg in the right position. I visited my orthopedic doctor and a cortisone shot was all they could offer; didn’t help. Tried some PT in Feb and felt worse. Went back to orthopedic in March and X-rays were taken, another shot, and suggestion of PT. With reluctance given no relief with earlier try, I made an appointment at Physical Therapy Specialties. The moon and stars were aligned for me as my appointment was with the owner, Ida. After evaluation, she suggested she use something called the “Mulligan Concept”. I had some relief with the first visit! I am very pleased to share by about the 5th week, the pain was almost completely gone. I am thrilled to be able to easily walk again and put on my own socks. I highly recommend Physical Therapy Specialties and continue to use their open pool for aquatic physical therapy.

When I first came to Physical Therapy I was skeptical if this could really work for me and my problem with my SI joints. But I was in a lot of pain and thought I would give it a try. My therapist was Ankita and she knew exactly what was going on and had no doubt she could help me. I saw her 2 x week and I saw improvement with each session. I did the exercises at home everyday and never missed my appointment. I feel so much better and I know I learned a few things from Ankita and the mechanics of the body. Ankita was great and everyone on staff are friendly and helpful! Great place to come for any of your PT needs.
