Success Stories

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.

Lisa W’s Story

I was referred to Becki Braun by my doctor for shoulder and pelvic pain, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. I was initially not able to lift my arm above my head, but now I can use my shoulder normally without pain again. I also had hip and pelvic pain that were resolved between the therapy that Becki, what I learned from her, and doing the on-line core floor strengthening program that New Life PT offers. This was such a wonderful experience for me, and has drastically changed my life for the better! You can feel how much Becki and the staff there care for people and her knowledge blew me away. I have had physical therapy numerous other times in my life, and my experience with Becki was far and away the best I’ve ever had. Thank you for giving me my health back!

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!

Susan’s Story

In a very short time I now had full days without pain. Before therapy I had shoulder pain for at least half the day. Now I can do all the things that were impossible before thanks to Dr. Joe and the team at New Life!

Joseph’s Story

My wife came to the FREE Shoulder seminar and talked me into coming to New Life about my shoulder. I had pain and could not lift my arm up above my shoulder. I was a success story with the help of Jordan and Samantha. I can sleep again and have full use of my arm. I’m gaining strength everyday, as long as I keep up with the exercises I was taught to do.

Brittany’s Story

I was having a lot of pain in my left shoulder and arm, to the point of not being able to hold anything for too long in that hand. It was affecting my workouts and daily activities. At that point, I contacted New Life and started working with Kris. She really worked with me to get my shoulder back to where it was originally. I really enjoyed my sessions with Kris because she listened to the issues I was having and included me in the decisions that were made regarding my shoulder. She also gave me a lot of helpful stretches to do at home. Now my shoulder is back to normal and I am back to doing my workouts again! I am so thankful for New Life and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is in need of physical therapy!
