Katie’s Story
For many years, I was someone who struggled with pap smears or even the thought of using tampons, so going to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy seemed extremely intimidating. From our very first conversation, I knew that I had found a great fit with Kris. My favorite part about working with Kris was her ‘whole-person’ approach. She took the time to examine all areas in my life that may be contributing to my pain and discomfort, including stress management, exercise, overall knowledge of my anatomy, and many more factors that I would have never made the connection between. I looked forward to sharing my progress with someone I felt accountable to and she celebrated every small victory with me, as well as made adjustments when a technique was not working for me. I got the opportunity to share what I was learning or working on with so many women in my life who then opened up to share their own experiences. During all of this, my confidence and self-esteem grew exponentially! It was bittersweet to see my time with Kris end, however; I am confident in my ability to keep using the exercises and techniques I learned. I strongly believe that every woman has something to learn from Kris! Thank you so much!

Jodi N’s Story
I was in significant hip pain before watching a webinar and having a consult with New Life Physical Therapy. I was limping with every step, had difficulty with stairs; putting on socks & shoes had me contemplating wearing only slide on shoes. A day with my granddaughter would lay me up for the next day, needing pain reliever to sleep. I am extremely grateful to Joe at the Portage site for being my guide and champion. After 8 sessions including dry needling, stretches and strengthening exercises, I am feeling and performing more like my old self. No one is passing me walking into the store. Stairs are no problem. I am enjoying pain free adventures with a toddler. I highly recommend Joe at New Life Physical Therapy! Grace at the front desk is a breath of fresh air, as well.
