Success Stories

"Before coming to Ramsey Rehab, I couldn't do much with my ankle. I was having a hard time playing full games of field hockey, or even participating in whole practices. After the strength and encouragement everyone at Ramsey gave to me, I have been able to play entire games with little to no pain! It's my senior year of high school, so I was worried I wouldn't be able to play much, if at all. The rehab was so successful so quickly, I got back into the game in no time! My thanks to everyone at Ramsey!"

"I was referred to Ramsey by my friend because I had pain in my hip/pelvic area. When I first started I rated my pain in the 7-8 (out of 10) range. I had very little flexibility in this area and had a hard time sitting. I came twice a week for twelve sessions. Michelle and Sarah were great and gave me great exercises to do at home. I had two sessions in the pool which helped improve my strength. Michelle and Sarah always gave me good advice and were very supportive. I went from a 7-8 pain level to less than two. It took some dedication and work on my part to follow through at home, but I couldn't have been as successful if it weren't for my therapists' expertise!"

"I have always been an active person, keeping up with my four children and being involved in my own physical hobbies. Some elbow pain that came up for no apparent reason was frustrating to me because it kept me from normal activities such as bowling, laundry, lifting groceries, etc. It was even painful for me to grip and turn the steering wheel of the car! I had never had physical therapy before, and could not figure out why I was having this pain! The staff at Ramsey Rehab diagnosed the problem and we realized an ill-fitting 12 lb bowling ball was the primary cause. Their understanding, knowledge, and patience made a huge difference. Not only did my average improve, but more importantly I can do all those everyday activities without pain. Their instruction, care, and personal attendance were wonderful. Thank You!"

"When I started at Ramsey Rehab I needed a cane to help me get to my feet from a sitting position. My knees just didn't want to work themselves. My back, I have spinal stenosis, has bothered me for many years, but recently it had become very painful. I could not even walk straight without the cane as a brace and guide. Everything hurt too much. Within two weeks of receiving therapy and pool treatment I no longer needed the cane, I had almost 50% less pain. After 2 months I don't have constant pain anymore. The pool is a haven to me; I can move the joints and muscles that were screaming just a few weeks earlier. My range of motion is so improved and my speed in walking has improved so much and I no longer feel I will have to live with the pain forever. I can work in my garden, go for walks, housework, go up and down the stairs and I feel so much better! I will continue to do the stretches and exercises at home and definitely will use the pool whenever I can to keep my muscles and joints moving and active. Many thanks to Ramsey Rehab."

" I had long term issues with calf strains in both legs which at times would severely inhibit vigorous activities (running, jumping). I was sent to Ramsey for diagnosis and treatment. Within two weeks I noticed marked improvement in ankle mobility, calf strength, and flexibility. I am back to full function-even back to playing basketball occasionally. Thanks!" --J.L. "I have been having shoulder pain for about 5 months. I went to a physical therapy center in RI for about 6 weeks and it did not change a thing. My shoulders were in pain all the time and I also lost a lot of mobility. It got to the point where it was difficult to take off my shirt. Then I came to Ramsey Rehab. After about three weeks I began to feel a lot better. My strength and flexibility increased very fast. I also learned a lot because everyone was very knowledgeable and got me to understand what the problems were. Everyone was also very polite and all of my visits were really enjoyable. Thank You to everyone at Ramsey Rehab!"

"With Ramsey Rehab's therapists I have been set free from painful walking. A year plus injury is finally resolved. The care and expertise of the therapists made a huge difference in my post-op recovery. Their careful listening and adjustments to treatment continually pushed me towards the healing progression I needed. From the pool to the land, it was consistently motivation and encouragement. I would certainly recommend Ramsey Rehab for any type of rehab needed."

"I arrived at Ramsey with a sore, swollen, sprained foot that was a result of a late summer surfing attempt. My foot and affected calf muscle were treated to stretching, balance, and strength exercises. My treatment quickly had me wearing two shoes again, walking better, and finally back to running. From my first visit to Ramsey, my therapists renewed my confidence and continuously reminded me that I would be back to running soon. My PT appointments became a priority and the therapists my new friends, and I welcomed 2011 with my first post-injury run on New Year's Day! Ramsey healed my foot and more importantly my sprit and I'm happy to be on the roads again!"
