Success Stories

Mikayla’s Story

I’ve had chronic foot pain for years and I had been reaching the limit of treatments available. My aunt encouraged me to try PT, and try it with John specifically because he looks at the whole system – hips, legs, everything – instead of just the foot. John has been super helpful and continually challenged me to reach a little more. I’ve definitely seen a difference in my hip strength and flexibility, which in turn has helped my foot. John also gave me exercises I can do on my own moving forward, which has been incredibly beneficial. Thanks John!

David’s Story

I walked in expecting to have surgery. Exercise by exercise with my PT, Kris Hellenbrand, I slowly began healing. With patience and instruction by Kris, I got better and better. The surgeon said that there were two vertebrae that are ruptured. I came to every appointment I had and did my exercises at home. Soon, I was stronger than I had been in a long time. The progress went from not being able to walk, to a slow jog with no pain. I thank New Life Physical Therapy, Kyle and Kris. I believe God sent me here. Thanks so much New Life.

Lisa’s Story

I am so glad I found New Life! I had my left knee replaced in February, and 6 weeks later I had my right knee replaced. Before surgery, I had limited many activities because my knees were so painful. Kris and Kyle helped me regain motion and stability after the first surgery – so I was ready for the next one! Now, 3 months post-surgery, I am walking, doing steps, and squatting, all without assistance or pain. Everyone here helped make my recovery easy. Kris and Kyle listened to my goals and put me on the path to achieve them. Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Kim’s Story

I came to New Life after a knee injury. I was hurting so bad, I could no longer do what I loved to do. I love to go for walks during my work day, and exercise in the morning before work. I could not bend my knee when I came to see Sydney. She taught me how to walk without pain. Kyle helped my strengthen my muscles. Sydney did cupping on my knee and slowly but steady got better! I can now enjoy my normal activities! The staff at New Life are so awesome! Everyone was so kind and friendly. Thank you, New Life!

Dennis’ Story

Well, to start off, I am 71 years young – I was 71 years old before coming to Kris for my shoulder dislocation. Then my foot locked in place. I received professional help with Mary Rose. I found that I can and do trust in Mary Rose’s advice and care for me, now 71 years young and not afraid of life now. I can now do all I want with a break every so often – I am happy, very happy! Thank you Mary Rose, Kris, and New Life!

Sarah’s Story

I struggled with foot pain proximately 6 months but I was able to maintain normal functioning. When the pain inhibited my ability to just walk I connected with New Life/Kris. Kris was able to identify the areas of my body that were contributing to the pain and then develop a plan. I worked with Kris and Kyle for 10 sessions and they introduced a new routine that I can incorporate into my workout and daily routine that has reduced by pain and increased my ability to do the things I enjoy. It feels amazing to be pain free! Thank you to Kris and Kyle!!
