Jessica Carter Peer, PT, DPT - Concierge Physiotherapy

May 2022

I recently had a knee replacement. As I learned with past surgeries, prep with a physical therapist is key. I asked if there were any exercises I could do to build up the muscles involved for a quicker recovery. Dr. Rob, Dr. Jessica and Ben worked with me and gave me exercises before I had surgery. My surgeon, my in-house nurse and my in-house physical therapist were amazed at how quickly I recovered. After surgery, you work up the first two weeks to 45° bend. My first visit five days after surgery I was at 110°. Within two weeks I was up to 140° which is the standard to work towards. Normally you have a walker for a couple of weeks and a cane for stability. I was off the walker in five days and didn't need a cane. Many people do not understand that physical therapy can be preventative if you get the body in alignment. The reason I am so impressed with this particular physical therapy group is that they treat the body. You may go in for problems with your knee and discover that it's related to the way you stand and your alignment and if you get that correct a lot of the problems go away. I have been to other physical therapists where are you go in, they work on you and you leave. Not here. You feel encouraged and proactive. I have had many surgeries. A previous review mentioned that my pre-work with this physical therapy cut my hospitalization time from 5 to 3 days. I cannot say enough about Dr. Rob, Dr. Jessica, and Ben of Integrated Therapy Practice. They care personally about each patient that comes in and it shows. I only wish that doctors would think of this as an alternative instead of jumping right into surgery or medicine. This group has changed my life for the better and is allowing me to achieve goals that I never thought I would be able to attain. Thank you again Dr. Rob, Dr. Jessica and Ben. I so appreciate you and your dedication.
