Hip

Frank L’s Story

The exercises seem to be helping even though we didn’t have much time before I left on vacation. Becki was very helpful, giving me exercises to work on. She was great.

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.

Merrie Ann’s Story

I came to New Life PT with pain in my hip that prevented me from doing things I love – walking my dog, working in the yard, biking & doing home projects. Kris was able to give me tools to get me not only back to doing those things, but my hip actually feels better and stronger than it has in a long time. She helped me understand when to stretch versus when to strengthen so I can continue to stay strong & healthy for a long time. I felt like she took the time to understand what was important to me & how I learned & used those things to guide me into helping myself when I was not with her. I am so grateful for the help & the kindness!

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!

JoAnn’s Story

I have dealt with pain most of my life but this past winter I developed pain in my low back and hip making it difficult to move or walk. I took to my recliner thinking I must have injured it and needed rest. No improvement came after several doctor appointments with scans and tests. Months earlier I had attended a workshop at New Life and decided now was the time to give them a try. I needed help. I WANTED help. When I left Jordan that first day, I was so excited and hopeful! He assessed my situation and listened to my story. We made a plan and goals together. He coached me along the way. He helped me get my confidence back and helped me gain control over the hear of hurting myself… I am now walking, back to household chores, playing with my grandchildren and doing most activities with little to no pain. Thank you, Jordan! Thank you, New Life! It is a new life.
