Physical Therapy Center: Testimonials

The following are testimonials from some of our patients.

"I have been seeing Cathy Morrell for an on going condition that was not getting better until she started working on me. I am very happy with the progress we have had and she has my complete trust that we will fix this condition. Many thanks."

"I just wanted to say that yesterday I found myself on the other end of our practice. My daughter broke her wrist and I have to say I was truly impressed with the care that is given here! Dr. Bean and the Windham staff were so nice and gentle with my daughter. I just had to say that although it was unfortunate circumstances it was really great to be able to see the other side of things and the great care that we give here! I was very impressed with the care my daughter was given and just wanted to say thank you!"

"Hi Matt S - I just wanted to let you know my progress.... I ran a marathon yesterday without any lower knee or lower achilles/calf pain and finished in 3:42 which qualified me for Boston in 2012! It was truly an incredible and emotional experience. Thanks again for all your support - I couldn't have done it without your guidance!"

"Matt S - I wanted to say thank you again for all that you have done to make me whole again. I decided to racing in a sprint triathlon this weekend just for fun. I wanted to see if I could do it and how it would feel. So, with little running (once a week at a really slow pace) I went for it and took second in my old lady age category!!! Yahoo! And I had fun. Thank you so much; if it wasn't for your expertise and patience I'd probably still be floating around in the pool."

"Tim and Philip - I DID IT! and it was a wonderful, fun event. We raised over $10,000 in support of the American Lung Association. I've got a little stiffness, but that's it! Tim, I know you will not acknowledge this as a truth, but the fact is you are a genius! Your analysis made all the difference. At one point during the Trek, I was repeating to myself "down, out, in" when focusing on heels down and out, and knees in. Not only did your pointers give me a more confident faster pace, I had no injuries, which, for a 50 year old gal like me, is all the difference. Thank you."

"Eric and Ryan - Thank you for helping me get back on my feet. I got cleared yesterday. It has been a long 5 1/4 months but when I worked with you it went by so fast. I thought that 6 months would never go by but you helped me get through them. I never thought that I would miss going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week but I do. Both you and Ryan made it fun and entertaining. To be honest, I didn't think I would like you because you were in the room when found out I tore my ACL. =) I really think that this past 5 month were the best experience of my life. I realized that sports come easy to me but when you get hurt, "working hard and overcoming things" has a whole other meaning. You and Ryan taught that to me and I can't thank you enough. So for all the teasing, working, laughing, seeing Ryan do all the push ups and many more things, I truly thank you for everything you did for me. Attached is my schedule to this year’s basketball season. Tell Ryan he better bring his pen and lots of paper. I got a lot of moves."

"Dear Mr. Davoren - I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how outstanding the quality of care I received was. Dan Frey was my primary therapist. I have worked in the medical profession for 31 years so I am aware of the challenges that medical personnel deal with on a daily basis. I have had a long tedious recovery from a shoulder injury. Dan was fantastic as he was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I actually will miss going to PT to see the staff. You should be proud to have these young professionals on your team. They do OA proud."

"Dan - Congratulations! You are done - you have accomplished your mission! You are the best PT in the whole world! Thanks a ton!"

"Dear Dan - Thank you for all your expertise and help in my recovery from my total knee. My rehab was a lot more fun having you as my therapist! I wish you and Jodi only the best with your new son.!"

"Dear Michael - A note of thanks for your work that enabled me to get back to my old self. The professionalism and empathy you provided me will stay with me for a long time to come. I spilled about 20 years of pain and discomfort on your table and you skillfully educated, rehabilitated and encouraged me. I cannot thank you enough. Best of luck to you."

"Hello Michael - I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me. Getting through an ACL injury can be really hard, but your positive attitude and support really got me through it. I couldn’t have done it without you. I hope you have a great summer and thanks again for everything."

"Dear Michael - Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with my new knee. I have really enjoyed working with you and learned a lot about how these joints and muscles work and feel like I’ve made great progress in getting my mobility back, thanks to your diligence, knowledge and encouragement."

"Hi Michael - I want to thank you from my heart for your commitment to my wellness. You’ve been patient when I wasn’t; you adjusted to my quirky personality and have helped me feel whole again!"

"Michael - I have wanted to thank you for your help this last year. The breathing exercises you provided have assisted me aligning my hips and reducing my discomfort. I have been planning on visiting again (further work and exercise practice), but have been unable to find extra time in my busy schedule."

"Michael - I just wanted to say thanks for all the help getting my hips feeling better! It was great working with you and I appreciate you sharing all your knowledge with me!"

"Michael - It was immediately evident, that you took time to both prepare and then present valuable information so relevant to the ‘whys and wherefores’ of dance mechanics. The parents were enthralled with your knowledge and ecstatic that you (and OA) could come to PSB to explain, so simply and visually, what they and their dancers need to know. It meant so much to my understanding when I was training, and I can’t help but think it benefits every dancer. It is always exciting to actually see the ‘light bulbs’! You are a fabulous addition to our staff and the dancers now have a face to go with the name. Again, many thanks for your enthusiasm for the dancers here at the PSB."

"Hi Ryan - I want to thank you for all of your help and support yesterday. Your ability to stretch and manipulate my spine and muscles really helped. For the first time in two weeks I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel again. I was very pleased to receive a telephone call from Dr. Findlay’s office in response to your e-mail. This type of coordinated and caring approach is one of the primary reasons OA is always my first choice for any orthopaedic problem. Thank you!"

"Ryan - Thank you so much for helping me regain myself. I have dealt with this problem for many years. I could not have done it without you!"

"Ryan - I really appreciate your fielding all my questions and willingness to so often provide explanations. I’m analytical so it helps me to put it all into perspective. Thank you so much again!"

"Ryan - Thanks for all of your help getting me back to "normal". It was a long road after my hip replacement. Yesterday, I played 1st doubles and we won 6-1, 6-1. I am so happy to be back on the court and now feel that I am at my strongest. Thank you so much for all of your help and guidance."

"Good Morning Ryan - Thank you so much for getting me in to the shoulder surgeon so fast! Thankfully, I only have a bad bone bruise and did not tear anything. You have been a tremendous help after my hip replacement. I feel I am now able to walk normal, which I have not done in 10 or so years. Thanks again"

"Hi Ryan - I am long over due for checking in with you. I hope you and your family are well. I want to thank you. I am very appreciative of your efforts to put me on the “mend”. I have been in pain since I was a young kid and I have literally never before been able to do the exercises that I am now doing. And I would not have known what to do if you had not shown me. A new chapter/adventure in this life has begun for me. Thank you very much for challenging me and for helping me. It is fair to say that everyday I thank you and the team at OA. I will check in from time to time to let you know how I am doing."

"Hi Todd - I wanted to touch base with you and tell you that I saw Rupi Gill PA-C and he said I was doing well, and that the PT really helped. So, I thank you for that! And he also encouraged as you did that I continue at home with the exercises you gave me. Thanks for the great care and all your help!!!! I hope that your family is well and that you have a great year ahead!!"

"Dear Todd - Just a quick note to let you know my ankle is doing very well. With my overloaded schedule, I just couldn’t fit in any more visits. I have been able to return to “normal” activity. We hiked quite a bit while on vacation over the summer. We climbed a large Mountain at the end of the summer and I didn’t have any pain or swelling. I never got to officially thank you for helping to get through the sprain recovery. I’m sure I never could have done all this so quickly without your help. I continue to do a lot of strengthening exercises so that it hopefully won’t happen again. Hope you have a great rest of your summer and thanks again for all your help!"

"Hi Todd - Just wanted to thank you for the great work you did. The same goes to Peter as you guys did a great job. Currently, I am just past the mid point of my basic combat. To be honest I wouldn’t have done it without out you guys. My knee and back are great. It does not matter how young these guys are I am still beating them in running, push-ups and sit-ups. I will never forget about you guys who helped me! You are really great guys who really enjoy what you do. I could tell just by the way you took your time taking care of me. You have contributed to my success in the army and I will always remember you for that! As a community organizer in Maine, I have recommended a lot of people to your place. I was very satisfied with your care. You have a lot of knowledge in your work. May the good lord bless you in everything you do!"

"Hi Dusty - I am glad to have the opportunity to send you a "thanks" via email. I really appreciated your kindness, skill, and encouragement over the last few months as I took the slow path back from the broken ankle. You have a wonderful way about you that is very calming!"

"Dusty - What a gift you have been to my healing journey. You are a highly skilled professional and one of the most compassionate human beings I have ever met. To echo the sentiment on the front of this card- I will never forget your kindness. With deep gratitude!"
