Knee

Kathryn’s Story

Hurt my knee on vacation and thought it would get better on it’s own. That didn’t happen so went to the doctor and recommend physical therapy. The pain affected my sleep. I had trouble kneeling and walking was also painful. With therapy, I am now sleeping without pain and can kneel on that leg. Walking isn’t painful as long as I don’t over do it yet. That old saying “slow & steady wins the race” is true. Be faithful to the exercise and they will get you there. Thanks Dr. Joe and staff. I’m on the way to doing all the things I like.

Jim & Jean’s Story

Jim came to Jordan at New Life PT on the referral of a friend! Jim had bilateral knee surgery 9 months before our first appointment. Jean was dealing with balance and pain moving since her double brain aneurysm over 6 years ago! After 3 months, we feel like we have nothing holding us back to do all the things we want to. It was an easy program to follow. He watched us carefully and adjusted our routine to our needs. An app to check in with photos of us doing our stretches was in our phone and kept us on track and focused on our program. It worked so smooth and made it fun to do and see the results so quickly! We are in our 70’s and feeling super! I recommend this facility. It is a top notch group of professionals, even the office manager Barb is attentive to your needs. They care about you and work to get you back to where you want to be. Jim says it reminds him of the Toby Keith song – Don’t Let The Old Man In!

Dean P’s Story

I went to see my ‘GP’ in regard to pain in my shoulder and knee. (Trouble lifting, climbing stairs and sleeping.) He mentioned several options, but recommended I try PT first. (I was skeptical as I thought things, especially the knee, were in need of something more “invasive”.) I met with Joe Schilz and after an initial assessment, was given exercises/stretching for the shoulder that over six weeks made a huge improvement. That initial assessment also led to the fact that my knee overall was in good shape and that it was a weak hip that was the source of my knee pain. After Joe gave me specific exercises to strengthen the hip, I was more than pleased with the reduced pain in my knee along with more flexibility in my hips and lower back. I will continue with these exercises as it has led to a positive difference in my daily activities.

Jeffery R’s Story

Three months prior to a hunting trip to New Zealand, I had a partial left knee replacement. Under the guidance of Kris, with help from Taylor & Joe, I was not only able to negotiate the hills of New Zealand but also had a successful hunt and a great experience. I will recommend and use New Life and the good folks there in the future.

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!
