Searching for a physical therapist with a busy schedule is not easy, but PT Direct and Dr. Lysaght were very easy to work with and provided in home therapy for me 2 days a week for 4 weeks when I went down with a grade 2 MCL sprain. He explained to me the steps we were taking to promote healing of the knee and how to keep muscles around it utilized via exercises, massage, stretching; including milestone strength measurements to track progress. Additionally, I was provided daily exercise plan on off days to stay ahead of schedule in my progress. Hopefully I won’t “need” physical therapy any time soon, but if and when I do I will definitely go through PT Direct!
